Ölü bir kedi harika bir evcil hayvandır. Yiyeceğinizi yemez, etrafı mahvetmez, siyah elbiselerinize tüylerini dökmez. Sizi dışarı çıkmak için uyandırmaz.

Good try nemanja but the translation of fifth sentence is problematic. I dont know how to translate it literally too.

My try:

I am enough handsome to make an orangutan jealous.

 

 

 I am so handsome it would make an orangutan jealous.

 

(Not me -- just translating. I am so beautiful it would make a mermaid jealous.)

 Kes, I agree with gök.

 

Sizi uyandırmaz - does not wake you up.

Here "you" is the subject of the verb "to wake someone else up".

 

The -dır- bit in uyandırmak is the causative:

uyanmak = to wake up

uyandırmak = to wake someone else up (lit: to cause to wake up).
