I like the TRT Haber dokument Omür dediğim very much. Old people tell about their lives, with no hurry, with their own voice. Laugh and cry.

The document is actually a cultural journey. In our countries old people are often seen as a burden, an item of expenditure. No one has the time to listen to their fascinating life stories and things they have learned from hardships.

Ömür dediğim also always has some beautiful music in it. The lyrics of folk songs get a deeper meaning when reflected against these old people´s slow flow of life.

My Try:

There is no guarantee that we will still be alive after five minutes. Therefore, in order not to have any regrets later, call the people who you have hurt until today and curse them once more.

Is it true that one can say Afiyet olsun even to someone who has already finished eating? I think I have heard this a few times (even in a restaurant when the customer is leaving) and dropped my ears because it sounds funny.

Turkish literature began to avoid social and political issues and withdraw into itself during the second tanzimat reform era. Abdülhamit II who had become the Monarch in 1876 and who had adopted an oppressive way of regime played a big role in this. As a result of this pressure plus the pressure and the menace that became more serious during the time of Servet-i Fünun, artists went towards introverted themes and worked on their subjects with a pessimistic view.

It is the first time I see DI past refer to not absolute but relative past. I mean this action will take place in the (imagined) future.

The one who controls water controls everything else, too.

I always wonder how humble our forum spammers are. If I were to spam this site one day I would not open four new threads but four hundred. In ten minutes.

In my country, taking off the shoes when entering a house was originally a countryside habit (people came from the muddy fields and animal shelters with their rubber boots). Helsinki people never did that in the 19th century. Now it is a rule everywhere.

There may be different reasons for the same customs. I guess Muslims try to avoid walking with shoes on in a place where they pray also.
