Hello All
I have just ordered myself a Turkish course, the complete course from Tömer, Ankara University.
I was supposed to be going to the school in Istanbul, but had to return to England......so i am back home and have got all my books!
Well i have my textbooks, but the questions are all in Turkish, i was told in the school, during lessons the teacher will not speak English!
So when i opened my book ready to start there were are few questions / words i didnt fully understand........ can i have help to translate the questions, so i can complete my exercises properly.
BULUNMA DURUMU EKI
YANITLAYIN
KARSILASMA
AD DURUMU EKLERI
UZAKLASMA DURUMU
YONELME DURUMU
ASAGIDAKI TUMCELERI METNE GORE ISARETLEYIN
Also these words have confused me???
there are headings in the work book as follows:
KONUSMA...........Speaking, but it looks like a negative...Dont speak!!
DINLENME...........Listening, same as above bout being a negative
OKUMA............ Reading, but could be dont read??
How do you tell the difference????

I can only help you about this part. I think it's very good that you noticed the two meanings that a shortened infinitive like 'konuşma' has.
Indeed, 'konuşma!' means 'Don't speak!'
But when you take away the -k- from a verb, it can also make it a noun of that verb:
konuşmak - to speak
konuşma - the speaking (also: the conversation)
dinlemek - to listen**
dinleme - the listening**
okumak - to read
okuma - the reading
You may wonder when you will use such words, but as you've seen they are used like in your book. Also, when you go on learning, you will see that suffixes can be added to those words. So they don't only mean a negative imperative, it depends on their context.
** Please note that:
dinlemek = to listen
dinlenmek = to rest, relax
