I open the same thread for the second time because there's really a 'mysterious' problem about the appereance of the messages written in the other thread. It's whether a general or an individual problem, anyway I don't see the posts written after post 50th of oreniyorum including my own post and some of the posts before 50 there, so I cannot help you there

I was thinking about how we could practice your turkish here, and what I personally find very useful when I learn a language is trying to write some sentences on my own, and if there's someone to correct them, it's super!

So, what about writing a small praragraph in turkish on a given subject, and after we can correct them.

If you have the basics, whatever your level is, try to write your sentences and make a small paragraph...

For example on one of these subjects:

1) Yakın gelecek için planlarınız (your near future plans)
2) Unutamadığınız bir çocukluk anınız (one of your childhood memories that you can't forget)
3) Arkadaşlarınızla birlikte yapmaktan hoşlandığınız şeyler (the things that you like to do together with your friends)

I hope/believe we have members whose turkish is enough to write some sentences

Don't worry about the mistakes.

Canlı, sorry for the delay. It's a nice try, and I hope you will go on writing.


If you want to use infinitive as in your original text:

Türkçe'yi çok güzel öğrenmek,ve sonra ülkemde bir Türk şirketinde bir iş bulmak, daha sonra inşallah Türkiye'de (bir) iş bulmak ve yaşamak. Ümit ediyorum


And the one you used in your turkish text: (am going to/will)

Türkçe'yi çok güzel öğreneceğim, sonra ülkemde bir Türk şirketinde bir iş bulacağım, daha sonra inşallah Türkiye'de bir iş bulacağım ve yaşayacağım. Ümit ediyorum


"my near future plans": yakın gelecekteki planlarım

bir şey değil mltm ,tşk ederim

İ gave it another shot,will you check it out lütfen ?

Ne demek aşk istiyor ?

Beklentilersiz vermek
Şartlarsız affetmek
Tahditlersiz sevmek

Bir Aşkin gözlerini,alem içinden görüyorsun

Zannitim,
Bunda,aşk hakikisi

what does love mean ?

To give,without expectations
To forgive,without conditions
To love,without limitation

To see the world through your lover eyes

İ think,
This is true love

İ hope it's better this time

Tşkler

Love is a strech of time, during which two persons try to discover each other in detail, with the deepest enthusiasm and desire...but no rational thinking.

The purest love is therefore the love of one drunk to another. There is absolutely no rational thinking involved !

Yakın gelecek için planlarım.

Biraz sonra bir araba makineyi düzeltmelim. Bu etmek istemiyorum ama ben lazım. Kendim garajdan yüklü bir fatura alacağım düzeltmesem!

My plans for the future.

Soon I have to rebuild a car engine. I don't want to do this but I must. If I don't repair it myself I will receive an expensive bill from the garage!

engine is motor for this sentence.
If rebuild same as repair that must be tamir etmek

As I know have to is an obliatory come from a higher authority. If this is wrong, correct me. If I am right, then you should use: zorunda olmak for have to

Biraz sonra bir araba motorunu tamir etmeliyim/etmek zorundayım.

You should use yapmak for the second sentence.

Bunu yapmak istemiyorum

The continuing sentence, lazım is used with another relative clause:

Benim gitmem lazım
I must go or I have to go

In your sentence:
ama yapmam lazım.

kendim is the right word here, bu you should use it within the same clause:
kendim düzeltmezsem or:
kendim tamir etmezsem (repair: tamir etmek)

garajdan yüklü bir fatura alacağım
This sentence is grammatically right but sounds like: "garage" is a company or a corporation and it will send you the bills.

If you want to say because of the garage, it may be like this:
garaj yüzünden yüklü bir fatura alacağım

And your full text is here:
Yakın gelecek için planlarım.

Biraz sonra bir araba motorunu tamir etmek zorundayım. Bunu yapmak istemiyorum ama yapmam lazım. Bunu kendim tamir etmezsem garaj yüzünden yüklü bir fatura alacağım.


Kolay gelsin!

The dictionary translates düzeltmek as "to repair, put (something) in running order". "Rebuild" is a bit more involved than "repair" so would düzeltmek not be a better choice than tamir etmek ???

düzeltmek is usually to make something correct:

Yanlışım varsa düzeltin.
If I have a mistake, correct me.

or if something is bad as physically, and you want to make it better:

Kapının kolu yamulmuş, düzeltir misin?
The handle of the door has buckled, do you repair it?

By the way, we can use it for broken computers but we should not use it for engines. tamir etmek: repair is better for here.

Arabamı tamir ettirmem gerekiyor
I have to make my car repair

or if you will repaire:

Arabamı tamir etmem gerekiyor
I have to repaire my car

Kolay gelsin!

in fact, depends on your usage, it may be a joke or a rude saying.

by the way, i have seen this meaning of düzeltmek too:

to make someone believe in God (or God's existence)(sure for Islam, we should say: Allah's existence).lol

I am not sure how it is possible to make someone believe in anything.......perhaps one can make another pretend to believe in something :-S

Just an example for learners.

İnternetle çok ilgiliyim. Bir internet sitem var. Tasarımını kendim yaptım. Çok fazla ziyaret edilmiyor, çünkü amatörce yaptım.

Önce "html" kodlarını öğrenmeye başladım. Benimle ilgili yazılar yazdım ve bu yazıları siteme koydum. Beni merak edenler var. Onlara sitemin adresini veriyorum. Arkadaşlarım da siteme girerek benim hakkımda bilgi alabilirler.

Siz de internet sitesi yapmak ister misiniz?


As I wrote; just an example to read.

It is not praktik... True word is: pratik
Not address, it must be adres
chat room? (not actually Turkish but ok...)
İngilz: if you want to talk about an English person: İngiliz, if it is about English language: İngilizce

geleckta: ummm... you should use şimdiden instead of gelecekte

tessekurler: right one is: teşekkürler

Kolay gelsin!

Yes! It's widely used instead of chatroom and better, but still in the sense of internet chat, the word "chat" is used. It has become like a special name.
