You shouldn´t waste your slowly ripened words on just anyone.

Thank you, alameda.

Ok, but how can you see it? günahlar could be indefinite object, couldn´t it? Is it in the meaning of bırakmak?

My Try:

The heart wants to enter Paradise but won´t give up sin.

Thanks, AlphaF. The use of these small conjunctions is really difficult to understand for a learner. Imitating native use is even more difficult. Half of the things I thought I knew even turned out wrong. de/da would be worth a thread of its own.

Yes, but they confusingly look like Turkish participles. I guess if they really were participles this would be a productive structure, i.e. you could take any first part of a compound verb and make it into a participle. And it doesn´t work this way. So nice you understood what I ment, tunci.

Some call it pain in the neck.

Imperative has a very strong expressive power in Turkish. Using 3rd person imperative in the right place can save many words.

Oğlunun kemiklerinin olsun bulunmasını isteyen Berfo Nine, "Ölunce oğlumla yanyana yatmak istiyorum" diye konuştu. ´Berfo Nine who wants to find her son  -  even if it was his bones  -  said: "When I die I want to lie next to my son".´

olsun has found its place in the middle of a possessive structure just like it was a disconnected addition or a quote from another, imagined sentence.

You must understand, gokuyum, that there are many obstacles for a foreigner. It’s not only the language which is trouble enough, it’s also the difference in culture, the different era we are living, our preconceptions. Few people enjoy old poetry of their own country even.

You need to explain it, make the thread a course for those who are interested. For instance, when tunci pointed out the purity of the language, its close connection to local dialects I looked at the lines with different eyes. Things like this are not self-evident unless you explain them.

A collection of Yunus Emre´s poetry has been translated into Finnish by Suna-Mariya Önder.

My Try:

I rolled and feld my past and threw it away to the garbage. Only dogs rummage through this garbage.

No idea what N.F.K. might stand for.

What are you laughing at? I am sitting here with the honey mask already.

tunci. Thank you. So interesting.

Yani, temsili has been derivated with the Arabic adjectival suffix, not the Turkish one.

One example makes me think:

I suggested it was an exceptional way to create a present participle form but is it? Or is -en an Arabic grammatical marker (of what, I don´t know)? ´For example´ is strangely the same in Arabic.
