Sophie. Maybe it's me but I don't see her around that much anymore.

Erykah Badu - Next lifetime

I feel very young and unexperienced about cinema when I read this thread. Im making a list of 'must have seen's I caught up a lot the past year, since Kadir is a big filmfreak, but there's so much more!

One that springs to mind for myself now is

- Mar Adentro by Alejandro Amenábar ('İçimdeki deniz').

My mood is just that tiny bit extrovert enough today, to say I feel rather introvert

Thank you both! I managed to translate one sentence by now The dictionary that is adviced, Redhouse, is not available in Holland (yet), only via intrenet but it is 3 times more expensive than the one I had in my hands in İzmir (and unfortuantely did not buy )

Does anybody know of an online dictionary for Ottoman Turkish?

We need to 'transcribe' a small text, but I dont have a dictionary yet, which would come in handy since the text doesnt have the diacritic points for consonants!!!

Oh I did not mean it in such way It just surprises me And I know you did not mean to offend me, which you certainly not did!

Can somebody give me a definition of national history?

Before we can start our lessons on the history of the Middle East, we are assigned to define some 'general' historical words.

The fact that national history just describes the history of a nation seems too simplistic to me. Has anybody got ideas, personal opinions, on what does and what does not fit in national history?


Ps - Im not trying to get you to go my homework But the lessons we are enrolled in are more discussions as well as definitions etc, so I couldnt think of a better place to discuss but tc
