They built it already in a smaller scale close to Oslo, Norway:

Sağ ol, tunci. There seems to be a lesson for me in every sentence...I´ll be back if I feel I can´t get it.

Which place exactly? I couldn´t understand from the article.

I was hoping someone could look at my translation attempts.

1. Tove Jansson’s wonderful stories about the Moomins and their eccentric group of friends have delighted readers of all ages for over fifty years. Tove Jansson’un Moominlerle tuhaf arkadaş çevreleri hakkında hikayeler elli yıldan dahadır her yaştaki okuyucular eğlendiriyor. 

2. The Moomins are a Finnish family of trolls whose white, furry appearance coupled with their large round snouts, makes them look something like hippos. Moominler beyaz kürklü görünüşüyle büyük yuvarlak burnunun biraz hippopotamlara benzeştirdiği finli bir trol ailesi.

3. They live a happy and carefree existence in the countryside although their friendliness and naivety often leads them into adventure. Samimiyeti ve saflığının onları sık sık maceralara götürmesine rağmen kırsal bölgede mutlu ve kaygısız bir hayat yaşıyorlar.

4. Little Ninny was treated so badly by the lady who was supposed to take care of her that she turned invisible. Küçük Ninny gözetmesi gereken olan bayan tarafından o kadar kötü davranıldı ki görülmez oldu.

5. It is only when they run into a thunder storm that Moominpappa realises that everyone is trapped by their lives in some way. Moominpappa ancak onlar bir boranla karşılaşınca herkesin kendi hayatında bir şekilde köşeye şıkışmış olduğunun farkına varıyor.

6. The Moomin family awake from their winter hibernation to discover that the rest of the inhabitants of Moominvalley are getting ready for the arrival of Christmas. Moominler ailesi kış uykusundan uyanıp diğer Moominvadisinda oturanların Noelin gelmesine hazırlanmakta olduğunu farkediyor.

7. The dragon is content to stay with Moomintroll until Snufkin comes to tea and the dragon’s attention switches from Moomintroll to his best friend. Dragon, Snufkin çay için geldiği ve dikkatı Moomintrol’dan onun en iyi arkadaşına geçtiği kadar Moomintrol’la kaldığından memnun.

8. It is only after disaster strikes that the Fillyjonk is able to be truly happy. Fillyjonk ancak felaket vurduğundan sonra gerçek mutluluk hissedebilir.

9. Snufkin is looking forward to some moments of peace and quiet before he goes to visit the Moomin family so that he might work on a melody he has buzzing around in his head. Snufkin, kafasında uğuldayan bir ezgi üzerinde çalışabilmesi için Moominler ailesini ziyaret etmeden önceki birkaç huzurlu ve sessiz an dört gözle bekliyor.

What a central concept mercy is in Islam.

The lot of the believer is always to live between hope and fear. Umar ibn al-Khattab who was one of the closest people to Prophet Muhammad said if he was told one person only will be granted Paradise he´d think it is him and if he knew only one would go to hell he would also think it must be him.

I think the confusion here comes partly from the terminology. When we talk about definite and indefinite compounds the definiteness tells something about the relation between the modifier and the modified (i.e. if there is some kind of possession in it). It does not make the phrase any more definite in the sense of being mentioned before in the conversation for example.

Maybe I am going off topic but there is one practical rule which I have found useful in building and understanding Turkish compounds: Any noun in this chain which is not marked with a third person possessive suffix is not qualified by the preceding noun. That is why Türk Dil_ Kurumu does not mean ´Society of Turkish language´ but ´Turkish society of language´.

Now I see why it looked so strange. sormak needs an indirect question, maybe something like

               Eşim bana o çantayı bu ay almamızın gerekip gerekmediğini sordu.

Shouldn´t there be genitive here?

Let´s check first if we can solve them.

Ne oldu kıskandın mı Abla ?

Kıskanmadığımı da söyleyemem.

Are you always talking to each other this way? Four posts just changing kisses oh no.

Anyway, it is funny to see that illogicalities of colloquial language follow very much the same patterns in different languages. This might be a useful thread to continue. For once we can pay attention to the mistakes Turks make themselves.

Instead of attacking poor learners all the time.
