The complete sentence was Padişahın ismi birinci bölük (orta) yoldaşları arasında lakapsız olarak mesela Ahmed b. Mehmed şeklinde yazılırdı.

What does b. stand for in this sentence? I can guess what it means but how does it read?

 

                   Padişahın ismi...lakapsız olarak mesela Ahmed b. Mehmed şeklinde yazılırdı.

 

Can a question be smaller than this?

Do you often laugh at learners gokuyum?

 

I have noticed a special characteristic in Turks: innocent laugh. It confuses me because malicious pleasure is the only pleasure I know.

Because christian crusaders bring "democracy" only to muslims?

Saudi Arabia also oppresses its people and the West has no problem with that.

uzun has a wider meaning than just ´tall´. It is more like ´long´, ´extended´ and it can be used for concrete objects as well as time, distance or duration. That is why the specific sort of length is determined with a head which is a noun.

 

                  uzun + ömür  >  uzun ömürlü insanlar  -  insanların ömrü uzun

                  uzun + sap  >  uzun saplı tencere  -  tencerenin sapı uzun

                  uzun + süre  >  uzun süreli borç  -  borcun süresi uzun

 

Then you just play with the adjective + noun compound in a sentence like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Could it alternatively be like this?

 

In order to show a special favour to your wife he let his mother make a delicious pie.

 

Or for the mother to eat  -  I don´t know.

1 Parkta etrafımızda dolaşanların birinin adını söylersem tanır mıydın?
2 Orası gelenin gideni aratmadığı tek yerdir.
3 İki haftadan beri buluşmamız için yalvardığım kız beni annesiyle görüştürmüştü.

 

 

My Try:

 

1. If I tell you the name of one of the people who are rambling around us in the park will you recognize him?

 

2. That is the only place where a newcomer doesn´t make you long for the one who left.

 

3. The girl who I begged to date me since two weeks ago introduced me to her mother.
