Quoting Elisa:

- I wouldn't use accusative because you ask for something in general, a dish on a menu, not "the menemen".

Then again, I am not a native :-S

Now i am confused:

Because in the following sentence:
- I would like menemen for breakfast
- Ik wil graag menemen voor het ontbijt
- Je voudrais du menemen pour le petit dÃ©jeuner

Menemen IS accusative, but in English you don't see it. Neither in Dutch or French you can see it for nouns. (though i think the French 'du' shows you that you don't want THE menemen, but as a piece of it, in an order)
But for example in Latin and Turkish, you can see it when it's accusative.

So shouldn't an accusative word always be with an accusative-word? I actually hate it, because i always forget which letter should be added

I'm not a native either

(which causes the fact that 'menemen' sounds so weird to me, ebcause it looks like 'meenemen' which means 'to take with you'

)

Quoting Elisa:

2 is correct.

Yes it is... but now here is my question:

Kadir asked me:
"Yorgun mudun" Completely logical, değil mi?
Were you tired?

But then his friend said on another time: (as always i was listening their covnersation and being happy when i picked something up

)

"Yaptın mı"?
Did you do (it)?

Notice that in the first example the question particle shows the person (dun=YOU), but in the second one, the question particle is 'suffixless' and the verb carries the person (tın=YOU).

I asked Kadir and he asked his friends because hd din't know.

Anyone who knows about this?

Or is yaptin mi that way because it is usually with 'ne yaptin??' because in that case you don't need the questionparticle because of the 'ne'.

Quoting bod:

Here's another one......

Kahvaltı iÃ§in menemen istiyorum lÃ¼tfen. Bu mÃ¼mkÃ¼m mÃ¼?
I would like menemen for breakfast please. Is this possible?

I think you could also say "Kahvaltıda menemen istiyorum lÃ¼tfen"?

I'd propably say this:

"Kahvaltıda menemeni isterim, mÃ¼mkÃ¼nse"
I would like menemen for breakfast, if possible.

I did change the sentence a little bit from the original one though.

- menemeni, because i think it should be accusative?
- isterm, because i think this might express 'i would like' better than 'istiyorum'

What does a native think

Quoting oceanmavi:

the dictionary says this: 'hadi bakalım! Come on then!/Hurry up! '

what were they doing, could this be right?

Hmm the hurry up could be right..

But then she must be a stressed woman because she said it a million times

I babysit on wednesday evenings, so last 2 times i watched 'Hayat TÃ¼rkÃ¼' at TRT INT (as we cannot receive anything else here). I was just fascinated on listening the voices and pronounciations and i actually really enjoyed it without understanding most things.

But one woman said 'hadi bakalım' ALL the time, like with everything they were gonna do or what..

I'd translate it as 'come on, let's see it'.. but when is it used? Because she used it so many times that it became hard to believe it only meant what i just said.

Or can it be used in a way like 'off you go' too?

Some examples would be nice and u'll receive my eternal gratefullness
