It is going to be a never ending list, sanja87. Turkish is a language particularly rich in idioms  -  just like English. This is one of the things which makes translating between these two languages particularly challenging.

Take any one of the most usual verbs and you will find out in phrases it has dozens of uses which cannot be translated literally.

Your idea is good, though. Let´s introduce a few idioms a day. Maybe some of them will attach to my head also. Sıra bende.

An idiom which I use a lot is içinden gel(me)mek ´(not) to feel like doing´, lit. ´(does not) come from (someone´s) inside´. You change the person by using different possessive suffixes in iç-, for instance for the 1st person sg

                           Dışarı çıkmak içimden gelmiyor. ´I don´t feel like going out.´

I think ite kaka is formally like çarpa çarpa but it consists of two synonymous verbs itmek and kakmak ´push´.

My Try:

I tried to run and arrive in time elbowing people, colliding into this and that.

They called it pluperfect before. I guess it is past perfect now.

Past perfect is used when something had happened before something else happened. Past of the past so to say.

...and what makes it complicated is that both bir and şey are not stable but on their way somewhere, into more abstract and grammatical meanings, bir from a numeral to an indefinite article and şey from a noun into a pronoun. Together they make interesting combinations.

Syntactically, there must be two bir şey´s.

1. ´a thing´  -  a usual noun. You can see it take the accusative ending but in that case bir should probably be interpreted as a numeral:

                     Bir şeyi de bil.

                     Bir arkadaşı bekliyor.

2. ´something´  -  an indefinite pronoun. Cannot be definite (and take accusative ending) of course because of its meaning. bir is no longer understood as an article but a part of that word. That is why in this meaning you very often find it written as one word. And there can be an indefinite article and plural ending in the same phrase like

                     Bir şeyler yazmalıyım.

I am just speculating. Correct me.

No but take a coffee break.

And why don´t we hug the whole world?

Don´t you think the auntie from Blacksea region who knitted pullovers for the chicken so that they wouldn´t feel cold deserves an applause?

What really bothers me is that all this chatting takes place in the Language section.
