İ didn't have lunch yet.
Ohh,Still ?

İ am working.
Oh,Still ?


1st:
Hala öğle yemeği yemedim.
Hala mı?
2nd
Hala çalışıyorum.
Hala mı?

BUT: I think in the first sentence the word "daha" would help distinguish between the two sentences.
(1st sentence is negative)

So: In english you ask using "yet?"
And in turkish you can answer with yet too.

Daha öğle yemeği yemedim.
Daha yemedin mi?

Note that you can't say only "Daha?" Or "Daha mı?"

Tşk ederim,

How can i say ..

İ cann't have enough of ....?

For example,
İ cann't have enough of music.

İ cann't have enough of music.



Do you mean this?
"I can't have music enough"

But why do you say "can" and "enough"?

as grammar: "Yeterince müziğe sahip olamıyorum"
but that does not make much sense, i think.

if you say: "i don't have music enough"
it is: "Yetrince müziğim yok" (or in case: yeterince müziğe sahip değilim, but this is also some weird usage)

She means "I never get fed up/bored with music, I could listen to music all the time"

Thanks! Then, it must be:
müziğe doyamıyorum!


"doyamamak" is what you need.

çalışıyorum = i'm trying

öğrenmeye çalışıyorum = i'm trying to learn

Ama,çalışmak means to study,and to work too.
How would the one we are talking with will get the difference in meaning,and understand i mean to say,i try' not i work,or i study ?

İ found this,
Uğraşmak
Would it give the meaning of 'to try' ?

i think "uğraşmak" has a more stronger meaning than "to try".

i used to use it when i first started learning turkish, but i was told that it is better to use "çalışmak" or "denemek" for "to try".

but i could be wrong though
