Quoting bod:
Kahverengi ister misin?
Do you want white coffee? |
first of all, kahverengi is "brown" so I'd use sütlü (i.e. with milk)
then, I don't suppose any waiter would use the singular (sen) form with you. I imagine he'd rather say:
sütlü kahve ister misiniz

Quoting Daydreamer: first of all, kahverengi is "brown" so I'd use sütlü (i.e. with milk) |
That's what I thought except I found the word "kahverengi" in my dictionary as being "brown coffee" so assumed that is what Turks call coffee with milk 
Quoting Daydreamer: then, I don't suppose any waiter would use the singular (sen) form with you. I imagine he'd rather say:
sütlü kahve ister misiniz |
Yes - I am sure a waiter would use siz not sen......
But this was a conversation between myself and my partner when we first woke up - sorry, I should have made that clear!

So please do tell me what kahverengi means ???
Every morning one of the first things I do (before getting out of bed!) is to look at the dictioary on my PDA and try and learn at least one new Türkçe word......this morning I found kahverengi which is translates as being brown coffee......
Is "brown coffee" not coffee with milk ???

kahverengi is simply "brown" (literally it is ...of the colour of coffee)

For God sake BOD. I am sure I said
'my eyes are brown and of course they are very beautiful' maybe I didn't I am sure one of our betters will explain if I am wrong.
kahverengi bekliyorum is I'm waiting for a brown colour
Tamam ma?

I think in the sentence:
Kahverengi bekliyorum.. the first word should be in accusative state.
And the question word 'ma' doesn't exist  Should be mı.. those vowelrules are bastards, aren't they???

Yeah - I realise that now
I'm not very good at spotting nouns that have similar suffixes to those appended to verbs

 OLO  All this debate and not a single turk joined in. Well Boddy Boy, I think we learned a few lessons from each other here! You will never forget 'my eyes' and I will not forget 'I am waiting' - the clue was in the çok güzel elbette. Pay attention to the context now. 'I am waiting for brown colour and of course they are very beautiful'...LMAO
Thanks Deli about the 'ma' 'mı' issue. I'd like to say it was a typo, but hell I'm fallible like the rest of us

KAHVERENGI GÖZLERIN
Thank you very specıal person who sent me thıs poem. I translated it as best i could (with some poetic licence) please feel free to make my translation better or correct.
I dedicate this post to döstüm and also to Bod (for different reasons)
KAHVERENGI GÖZLERIN
Your brown eyes
Sankı billur bir pınar
Ruhuma neşe sunar
Kahverengı gözlerin
Gözlerın yar gözlerın gözlerın
Bakışların pek yerın
Senin en güzel yerin
Kahverengı gözlerın
Gözlerın yar gözlerın gözlerın
Rüzgalar kadar serin
Ufuklar kadar derın
Kahverengı gözlerın
Gözlerın yar gözlerın gözlerın
Mehtapta benzer aya
Bakarım doya doya
Sanki tatlı bır rüya
Kahverengı gözlerın
Gözlerın yar gözlerın gözlerın
Selahattin Sarıkaya
Your Brown Eyes
as if they are a crystal stream
beautiful, joyful spirit
your brown eyes
your eyes beloved your brown eyes your brown eyes
My glances very much regret
your most beautiful sad
your brown eyes
your eyes beloved your brown eyes your brown eyes
as cool as the wind
deep as the horizons
your brown eyes -
your eyes beloved your brown eyes your brown eyes
like moonlight in the palm of my hand
I gaze my fill
as ıf a sweet dream
your brown eyes
your eyes beloved your brown eyes your brown eyes

oh man! i cant believe...
gözlerim... sure here not gözlemek
and kahverengi is a color...
do you want brown?: kahverengi ister misin?
do you want cofee with milk: sütlü kahve ister misin?
so "kahverengi" means "brown"
and "cofee with milk" means "sütlü kahve"
what else problem?
