It is difficult to see the difference between daha and hala.

Say you have dentist appoinment scheduled for 3:00PM. You arrive at his office at 2:40PM.

Your anxious mother at home can call you at any time and ask "Has the dentist come ?"

- If she calls at 2:45PM and the dentist has not yet appeared, your reply will be "daha gelmedi", implying there is still time.

- If she calls at 3:15PM and the dentist has not yet appeared, your reply will be "hala gelmedi", implying it is already past the appointment time.

-

AlphaF you are really good at this. It is often the non-linguistic context that makes the difference.

In this example it seems like daha expresses a positive expectation while hala is something like "it has been too long".

What about the mother, how would her question look like at 2.45 and 3.15?

                              Doktor daha/hala gelmedi mi?

Does it show in her question whether she expects a yes or a no for the answer?

If she is sharp, 2:45 question will have "daha" and 3:15 will have "hala"....

So far so good. Thanks, AlphaF, thanks tunci.
