Hi,

I was listening to a turkish song (with lyrics of course) as a practice and i couldn´t get "ne olur" in "ne olur anla". Does "ne" have other meanings beside what.

Thanks

Ne olur = Please

Ne olur anla = please understand

In genral meaning of "Ne" is what

But "ne olur" please

Ne ......ne = meaning neither nor

 

 

That is meaning of ´ne" which I know as learner

I hope that help you

You got it right. To make it clear, I want to add something. "Ne olur" is a "begging" phrase, not like a neutral "please". It is like you are begging someone because he/she refuses to do it.

I think it comes from a saying like a conditional as it is used in Turkish too:

Gelsen ne olur? (what happens if you come?)

as "olmak" means "to happen", here is a question for an event: what happens? / what would happen?

It is because;

one refuses doing something, another person asks: "Why don´t you do this? What happens if you do?" as implying there is no harm or something like that for this action.

Especially in love songs, that is used a lot because the lover wants beloved give a response to his love. But beloved doesn´t give. So, the lover begs:

Please understand me! What happens if you understand? Why don´t you understand me?

So, like in song it can be said; Ne olur beni anla!

"Ne olur" literally means "what happens" if you do so and so...

But it is used as "please" meaning "nothing happens bad for you if you do so and so", "why dont you do that then", "i wish you do it" ...

ne olur anla beni: please understand me
