I have been thinking a lot how to do this in another way. It’s unconscionable to ask for something all the time and I am not unconscionable. But I have nowhere else to ask and this is how things are at the moment.

My Try.

But what is de|n|il|mek? Is it stem + reflexive + passive or stem + double passive? It is translated the same way as denmek and even the participle denilen is sometimes used the same way as denen above.

Hep. It was not love at the first sight. It sounded arrogant to my ear in the Turkish sentence. But as it insisted to pop up everywhere I looked I gradually changed my mind. Until yesterday night one second before falling into sleep I realized it’s actually an extraordinarily beautiful piece of language.

In my opinion, all of you who voluntarily spend your time here helping learners are excellent ambassadors of your country.

If I was asked I´d say

         demek ´to say´ > diyen

         denmek ´to be said´ > denen

That´s why

         Sevgi denen o gerçeğe ´something that is called love´ (passive voice)

         sağol diyen birisi ´someone who says...´ (active voice).

While you wait for the native view, another link for you, elenagabriela:

I have understood when someone does for you something that he doesn´t have to do, something beyond his duty, it is the place for sağ ol(un). In addition, I found in the old posts the opinion that for some reason it sounds more masculine than teşekkürler/teşekkür ederim. Whatever it means...

Don´t worry. I feel the same. All the time.

Maybe I belong to the old union but in my opinion you should try to produce language even though it is difficult in the beginning. Translate small things from Turkish and into Turkish. Sharpen your pencil, tie your hair tight and sit nicely like a schoolgirl. Leave the songs to the end of the day when work is done.

If you don´t have special Turkish grammar excercises actually anything will do. Find your old school English books and try to say the simple sentences in Turkish. A simple Google search with "translate" and "from English" brought a lot of results. I copied some for you:

1. It costs 99 euros and 50 cents. 
2. I don´t have a cat. 
3. Look at the clock!

Why don´t you try them? After you are done I´m sure you will find someone to check them for you. In Finland we have a saying "The work teaches the worker." After you have done some you will know what you will have to concentrate on next.

Gee. And müşahade edilmiştir is the predicate, no subject (passive voice). What a sentence monster.

This is only amusement, of course, but I also think that if you want to learn something you should have or you should imagine for yourself an emotional bond with it. When it comes to language, words are easier to love than ablative endings, aren’t they?

ms. yousra, it’s not only you who uses çok a lot. It is a word with many meanings, it translates into English at least with ´very´, ´many´, ´often´, ´too´ (like in ‘The jacket is too big for the child&rsquo and I guess this is not all.
