There is nobody in the neighbourhood who died and you didn´t make helva for their wake.

or You made helva for every wake for deaths in the neighbourhood.

 

 

 

Thank you! Could you try the others sentences as well?

Thank you, but what is "when" in the turkish sentence? I thought Araladın mı= did you open it a bit, but is has another meaning here?

According to how you use it, mı/mi can mean when.

Yes, if you take just " Araladın mı ? "  it refers to a standart question with -mi suffix. ----> did you open it a bit ? 

However, in the context, -mi functions as time word  " when " [whenever ]

Araladın , karşına salon duvarı çıkıyor yine.

When you open it a bit, you see the wall in the lounge again.

So, in some contexts -mi may function as " when " 

---------------------------------------------------------------

- Annesini gördü şımarıyor.  ---> Whenever he sees his mother , he gets spoiled.

 

- Söz verdin mi tutacaksın.  ----> When you promise about something you should keep [your promise].

Tunci´s explanation is great. As a native English speaker I just want to add something else that may make it easier to understand for a native English speaker.

In English we may also use "if" or "every time" to express the same thing. e.g. If you make a promise, you should keep it. Every time I go to Manchester it rains. 

The idea is that if the first thing happens then the second thing always happens (or in the case of the sentence about the promise, should always happen). There is a bit of a cause and effect idea about it too, often.

Quoting foka

If spring shows up once, slope would be filled by poppies, would be covered cap a pie.....

 

guests were sitting next to kitchen table, was turned back to the story

 

as a large patrol ( arm) ..

 

Weary of living the proper age; were starting from his/her clumsy back, from slouching along, was turning into the past carings in her/his hand that covered by yellow spots , and sloth on his/her feet..

 

if i say you mom has arrived, so she´s arrived.

 

Not sure if they are 100% correct so native should take a look also.

 

Thank you, but I think it has another meaning here, because the full sentence is: 

Omuzlarına geniş bir kol halinde dökülen parlak saçları dışında, gençliğini ele veren hiçbir özelliği yoktu.
