My brother likes ice cream.


Erkek kardeşim dondurma seviyor
I don´t like ice cream.

Dondurma sevmedim

The boss always arrives late.

patrona hep geç geliyor

What is your name?

senin adın ne?

Where do you come from?

Nerelesin?

She gets up at 6:30am.
O 6:30 sabahleyin saat uyanıyor
Our family lives in Hamilton.
Hamiltonda ailemizim oturuyorlar
I don´t see her anymore.

Onu artık görmedim

I will make some comments, as a fellow learner

 

My brother likes ice cream.

Erkek kardeşim dondurma seviyor

 You could also write Erkek kardeşim dondurma sever.
I don´t like ice cream.

Dondurma sevmedim
Why did you use past tense?

Your sentence translates to I didn´t like ice cream.

Dondurma sevmem. or Dondurma sevmiyorum. would be a better translation in my opinion.

 
The boss always arrives late.

patrona hep geç geliyor
Boss = patron, patrona = to the boss

My attempt Patron her zaman (işe) geç geliyor.
What is your name?

senin adın ne?

 I think Adınız ne? would be better. It is more polite, and if you used ´sen´ it indicates that you know the person, therefore you should also know their name.

Where do you come from?

Nerelesin?
Again, I think the more formal Nerelisiniz? would be better to ask.
She gets up at 6:30am. 
O 6:30 sabahleyin saat uyanıyor

I think O sabah saat altı buçukta kalkıyor is better.

Kalkmak = to get up, uyanmak = to wake up.
Our family lives in Hamilton. 
Hamiltonda ailemizim oturuyorlar

I would write Ailemiz Hamilton´da oturuyor(lar)
I don´t see her anymore.

Onu artık görmedim

Why do you use past tense? ´Don´t see´ is present tense.

Onu artık görmem.

brother: erkek kardeş, if older than you: abi (ağabey)

sister: kız kardeş, if older than you: abla

but...

in daily convesations nobodys says erkek or kız kardeşim if the gender is not important.

we just say: "kardeşim dondurmaya bayılır"

if we need to emphasize the gender, then we use "erkek..." or "kız..."

just a detail.
