...and Greece which according to a rumour is treated unjustly and whom EU wants to humiliate now is receiving support from other euro countries worth a sum which divided per capita makes 33.600 euros for every Greek citizen until 2014.

 

Germany, the evil of the evil, is the biggest payer.

Thanks, deli. My sentence sounded ugly to me even but I couldn´t fix it on my own.

Quote:lana-

masanda yada masasınında

 

masa|n|da. The possessive suffix for sg 2nd is -(i)n, (ı )n, (u)n, (ü )n.

 

Yes, it is çalışma masası when there is no owner around for the table. But when there is one (like sen in your example) the 3rd person suffix of the compound has to give way to it. No two possessives in one word:

 

                                  çalışma masa + -n > çalışma masan

 

The real owner wins the grammatical owner, so to say.

Yes, I was asking seriously. I wanted to know your opinion especially, vineyards.

 

I am aware that Europe has had serious problems with the same issues that it is now marketing to other continents. And not so long ago indeed. Maybe I am naive but I believe in learning from mistakes. My country strongly supports widening the Union to the East. In my opinion it doesn´t only mean exporting western values to Turkey but also changing EU into something else, a global player, a truely multicultural society. If Turkey was a member it would be one of biggest nations in EU. Here is one view from a person whose analyse I respect (woops, the speech is a little bit old but the man is saying approximately the same until today):

I am sorry if my question about joining the EU in order to escape from local problems sounded irritating. There is a reason. After the second World War Finland managed to stay independent but through the cold war years it had a sick friendship with the Soviet Union. That´s why it was important for us to enter into an allience with the west when the first chance occurred.

 

I was trying to sell you my recipe and see if you like it, that´s all.

As an outsider it seems to me that kemalism is a strong plus word for Turks. A similar plus word like freedom, democracy or independence are everywhere. No one in his right mind ever questions a plus word. It would be a political suicide. Instead, we use the same word but give it new meanings.

 

Why don’t you join the EU? The Union will protect your freedom of word and democracy against all sorts of extremists.

Henry, I don´t deserve the credit but thanks anyway.

 

A very typical situation when trying to translate song lyrics: the words are relatively simple but I have no idea what she is singing about. There is a gap which cannot be crossed by means of language I suppose.

 

Please feel welcome, Pöllö.

What I wanted to say is in gokuyum´s post. Believers are not a homogenous group of people and ignorance is our biggest threat.

 

This thread has become an interesting one. So many posts that make you think.

 

Btw, in my opinion there is nothing wrong in using strong language sometimes as long as it is not used for insulting someone personally. I like to use big words myself sometimes and I expect people to understand I don´t mean them literally.
