Selam

 

Could you please help me with translation:

 

-I haven´t been able to come.

 

-Could you tell me what have we done and what we have for homework?

And when I write e-mail,
how to write ´Dear teacher´?

Could you please help me with translation:

 

-I haven´t been able to come.

- Gelemedim.

(when used alone "gelemedim" sounds a bit harsh.. bugün gelemedim - bu hafta gelemedim - bu sabah gelemedim etc ... pick the suitable one)

-Could you tell me what have we done and what we have for homework?

- Hangi konuları işlediğimizi ve ev ödevimizin ne olduğunu söyleyebilir misiniz?

And when I write e-mail,
how to write ´Dear teacher´?

 

You can say "Sevgili Öğretmenim" but if you want it to be formal you can say "merhaba öğretmenim" or (depending on the time you write it) "günaydın öğretmenim" - "iyi akşamlar öğretmenim"

You can say "gelememiştim" only when you are not sure if the teacher was aware of your absence. 

Replace "ben" with "bugün", "dün" etc..  

* Bugün derse gelememiştim

* Dün derse gelememiştim

.. but if you are sure that the teacher was aware of your absence, prefer "gelemedim" 

* Dün derse gelemedim

Ermm.. "hocam" sounds religious and almost all the teachers that I know, don´t like to be called so. Go with "öğretmenim."

"Sayın" makes it more formal than necessary.

If I were you, I would use "Merhaba Öğretmenim"
