Yüreklilik, sadece cesur olmakla olmaz. Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer.

 

Courage is not just being brave. Courage is doing the right thing despite our inability.  ??

I don´t understand ´yapmaktan geçer´, anyone?

Quoting JNQ

Yüreklilik, sadece cesur olmakla olmaz. Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer.

 

Courage is not just being brave. Courage is doing the right thing despite our inability.  ??

I don´t understand ´yapmaktan geçer´, anyone?

 

 

 

1- "Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktır."

 

Literary way to say this;


2- "Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer."

 

---

 

I think the expression "-dan/-den/-tan/-ten geçmek" refers to "yoldan geçmek" (cross/pass the road).

 

That is, in the 1. sentence you give a judgment. X = Y

 

And the literal meaning of the 2. sentence can be explained as follows;

 

If you want to reach the place X you should cross the road Y.

 

Another ´long´ way to express that sentence;

 

"Yürekliliğe giden yolacizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer."

 

Examples:

 

"Cennete giden yol, cehennemden geçer." (The road to heaven passes through hell.)

 

"Mükemmellik (or Mükemmelliğe giden/ulaştıran yol), hata yapmaktan geçer."  (The road to perfection passes through mistakes/making mistakes)

 

"Aşk, yanmaktan geçer." (I couldn´t translate this but I´ll try; Love is being burned./The road to love passes through burning. {#emotions_dlg.think}

Excellent, thank you so much! This clears up a lot about the use of geçmek.

Also, can you tell if the translation is correct?

E to T

Courage is doing the right thing despite our inability.

Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktır.


T to E

Yürekliliğe giden yol, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer.

 

The road to courage passes through doing the right thing despite our inability.


T to E

Yüreklilik, acizliğimize rağmen doğru olan şeyi yapmaktan geçer

(The road toCourage passes through doing the right thing despite our inability.

When we remove the word "-e giden yol", the meaning doesn´t change in Turkish. But I´m not sure if the sentence still makes sense, if we remove "the road to".
