In finite verbs -mIş- denotes PAST + HEARSAY as tomac explained, in participles only PAST. Lewis´s example:

                      Plan hazırlanmış. ´I gather that the plan has been prepared.

                      hazırlanmış plan ´the plan which has been prepared´.

The translation is correct and the only possible in my opinion.

They say it the other way round, something like

                          ´For me you are a must.´

My Try:

I have given my heart to marriage a long time ago, I just wasn´t aware of it.

It doesn´t matter so much what you do as long as you do something, in a target-oriented and regular manner. So why not start with the Classes of this site? They are as good as any. totally-turkish.com is also a nice good mood website for beginners. It has exercises as well.

About ise or its suffixed form -sA- so much has been written on this site. With this small piece of language if clauses are formed in Turkish. -sA- denotes a real or hypothetical condition on what is expressed in the main clause: hayal et|se|m ´if I imagined´. Read for instance how Henry has explained it here:

                        http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_52547

In your sentence

                        Ne zaman seninle gülebilmeyi hayal etsem ağlıyorum

pay attention to the verb hayal etmek ´imagine´. The linked dictionary says

                         "hayal etmek /ı/ to imagine"

 ı between the backslashes means this verb governs an accusative object. You can´t make accusative of a verb, can you? That´s why -mA- is used in the middle to change the verb into a noun. Thus, once again

gül|ebil|me|y|i = ´to laugh´ + ´to be able´ + VERB > NOUN + BUFFER + ACC

Sorry, gokuyum. You said it.

me = infinitive marking (makes it a noun)

y = buffer

i = accusative ending

To understand it completely you should look at it in a sentence, especially in connection with the predicate verb.

larrialerich, sorry I forgot you.
