I love the fact that it can be 2.35 and that there is still a place open accross the street selling cigarettes (or beer, or bugles, or all at the same time )

Quoting AlphaF

Two guys married to a pair of sisters are bacanak (s) to each other.

In slang, if you call a friend "bacanak", the implication is that you are interested in his wife´s (or girlfriend´s) sister.

 

 Now that is useful knowledge to keep in mind

Quoting beki78

 

I know bacanak can be used as a slang term for male friends, and yaaaa is an expression used to show either exasperation or something like bloody hell look at that, which we might use in English.

 

 Oh cool, I didnt know that. Well then the person just refers to a ´bunch of male friends´

 

Ýþte indeed can mean what you said, however, sometimes its also used as the closure of a sentence like, ´well´, ´what more can I say about it´. Yaaa can also mean something like ´ehmm,, welll,´ as in the starter of a sentence, or simply mean ´yes´

 

As for alem, in this sentence it should be âlem

Quoting insallah

 

Do herhalde and her halde have the same meaning?  I have seen both written and from the sentence structure alone I can not identify a difference in meaning. If they are different could somebody give a few sentence examples please Thanks

 

Eventhough there is a grammatical difference between ´herhalde´ and ´her halde´, you can assume that when you see it written (in an informal place), they all wanted to say ´herhalde=probably´, because many people dont know whether to write them apart or together.

 

If I were you Id forget about the difference and all understand them as ´probably´, because that is how it is used 99.9% of the time

Quoting Turkish-Teacher

no Katie. Trust me there is no difference

 

 

 I beg to differ. There is a difference.

 

Herhalde = probably

Her halde = in any case, whatever the situation is

 

Eventhough the last one is barely ever used (and the first one used a lot), there is a grammatical difference between the two. But I suggest that someone who is new at learning the language totally forgets about the second and just learns that ´herhalde´ means ´probably´

Quoting Uzun_Hava

 

I am not a native speaker and I can´t find a definition for ´yav´.  I think it is mispelled.  This is my attempt.

1.  "Am I late after watching/spectating"(such as if they came from Futbol or something"

2. "what is their trade/jobs, behold  flag/banner hey   sisters brother (brother in law)"

 

izledikten sonra = after watching

izlemeden önce = before watching

izlemeden = without watching

 

geçmeyeyim = let me not pass / I should not pass(skip),

 

I should not go by without watching (this).

 

 

yav means something like ´yahu´, and it only used in informal speech among close friends.

 

 

As for ´alem´, the reason you found the word ´banner´ is because there are 2 words:

 

alem and âlem. not many people in turkey seem to care about the ^´s these days any more but it makes quite some difference âlem means ´universe,  the people´ (and quite some more meanings).

Just two little sentences,,,, please anyone?  Thank you

 

I better not pass without watching (I should watch it)

 

Who are these hey,---  well, they are people belonging to the husband of my wife´s sister (sorry no equivalent for bacanak in english )

 

SOrry for the weird sentence, but I dont really know how to say it in english. ANyway someone seems to be asking who those folks are and the answer implies that they belong to/are related to the husband of someones´ wife´s sister
