Kelowna you have a problem of keeping your opinions to yourself. You would make a bad translator. I have same problem sometimes but yours is much worse.

These are foxy. I guess the same suffix shows in the idiom of the type duy|maz|lık|tan gelmek ´to pretend not to have heard´ also.

I have noticed LIK is very easily connected with professional names etc.

                         hemşirelik yapmak ´work as a nurse´

                         askerlik yapmak ´serve in the army´

                         öğretmenlik yapmak ´teach´.

In numerous constructions two very productive derivators CI (forming professional names and other stuff like that) and LIK (changing it into the name of that special action) combine:

                         yolculuk etmek ´travel´

                         kapıcılık yapmak ´work as a doorman´

                         çapulculuk yapmak ´protest´.

In this function, LIK seems to be very productive also. I wonder if there are any limits at all.

Ok, what about

                      read something in the book    ?

LOC yes but could you ever imagine ABL there?

write something in the notebook

write data to a text file

In Turkish, DAT or LOC?

Look the picture was much more diverse than the impression I got from your post. Thanks, si++.

Unaware of the details I just write a couple of things that came to my mind:

1. Being the boss in an organization always means responsibility for the action of the subordinates also. That is what being a leader is all about.

2. The Prime Minister has distanced from the court decision which is normal according to  the division between state powers. A sultan could intervene, a politician can not.

I was not insisting si++. I was asking. I do understand the limits of my knowledge.

Aside from the ironic choice of words you used the idea of someone planning a coup in Turkey makes sense to me. You explain me why not.

Examples of the privileges the Egyptian army profited from during Hosni Mubarak:

1. The budget of the army is not discussed in the parliament.

2. Army officers cannot be indicted in civil courts even after retirement.

3. The army always has a word to say about land use.

4. The ministry of military production controls factories where conscripts manufacture everything from diesel heaters to pasta.

5. A great deal of the governors and managers of state-owned companies are former military officers. That was the way Mubarak kept the soldiers happy. It was kind of a retirement program. (Did you hear them crying President Mursi is favoring his own men in nominations...?)

In every revolution part of the power always tends to stay in the same hands.

And why not? How many military coups did you have again?

Concerning the convicted journalists and opposition activists I have understood the case has grown into a surrealistic drama.

Ramazan Bayramınız Kutlu Olsun.

My name means ´forenoon´. There is a surah in the Qur´an with the same name. It is not my original given name.
