I need explanation about following verbs…

It would be nice if someone who is willing to explain to write sentences as examples.

Razı olmak

Razı gelmek

 

Razı etmek

Can someone explain?

1.Hayran olmak/kalmak,

and

2.to attract attention

Ilgi çekmek

 

Ilgi toplamak

 

 

The difference between "hayran olmak" and "hayran kalmak" is that the former one expresses a continued admiration over a long period of time, possibly for more than one achievement, while the latter indicates a sudden admiration, usually for a single achievement.

"ilgi çekmek" is usually getting attention of a limited number of witnesses at a given occassion , while "ilgi toplamak" is getting attention from a wider puplic, over a longer period of time, possibly for more than one achievement.

Razı olmak : to agree with something out of one´s free choice
