Notes:

1. It seems that I messed with all the tenses. Firstly, as this was a newspaper report, I thought -miş-participle was the best tense to explain what happened but you replaced it with -di in these cases

         ......çenesine birkaç dikiş attırmak zorunda kaldı.

         Polise göre...sürücü genç bir kadındı. (Is it because the reporter is mentioned?)

2. Another problem  -  and this is a big one  - is present continuous. I will probably open it as a thread of its own after I look around a little bit more in order to know how to ask. Anyway it seems that in this report anything that the police says or suspects or recommends or puts his nose into is expressed with present continuous. I have noticed it´s use before in weather forecasts (I mean the last word of every second sentence is ...bekleniyor, that´s as far as I can get). This tense is taught to learners very early but I feel until now I understand only a small slice of its use.

3. Tell me an example where rast gelmek is in its right place.

In brief, this is so difficult. Feel like giving up.

Sağ olun, si++.

Thank you, MarioninTurkey, I think I will do just that. Let´s keep it a secret between you and me.

I was actually asking just from interest, but as MarioninTurkey decided to translate it this way that´s how it certainly is. I´m just a learner.

Lütfen.

You´re angry with me, you are hurt. Couldn´t it be understood ´You have the right to be angry´?

It depends. If you listen to (or try to learn) standard Turkish the first impression is strict word order. But of course, if you look at the whole field of language Turkish speakers have an excellent chance to chain their words as they please and it´s hard to find more freedom in any language. That´s what I mean: chances are but the TV-reporter still ties himself to a certain word order and even in the colloquial language flow 50 per cent of the sentences are well organized.

I feel I led myself into a trap...

About Finnish. Thanks for asking, we have 15 cases but a couple of them are non-productive nowadays. Especially the eight different locatives increase the number.

It seems that every language needs to have a drop of luxury: something that is not necessary for delivering the message but is concerved as a typical feature of that language (and the point where learners are likely to stumble). A language can perfectly well do its job without grammatical gender of even articles but they are the luxury of German, for instance. The Russian have all their verbs in two aspects and it makes you think if there wasn´t a more simple way to do this. In Finnish we stubbornly modify adjectives and numerals and actually everything we can catch with bare hands in case and number. For Turkish, I think relatively strict word order combined with well marked sentence elements is this touch of luxury.

Thank you for the examples. Now I can come back here next time I find strange uses of kendi.
