This is my love's favourite poet, and has become mine as well He had a book with all Veli's poetry, which he read in Turkish to me, then translated them.

There is one about a ship, i forgot the title, does someone know? I could ask Kadir as well ofcourse, but I'd like to text it to him in Türkçe

I didn't read all the pages of this forum yet. But I read Turkish poetry. I read Turkish literature. I listened Turkish songs. I ate Turkish food. I breathed Turkish air. I sang Turkish songs. I tried to speak Turkish words. I saw Turkish landscapes. I felt Turkish heartwarming people. I drank fresh orange juice on the street. I felt the sea upon my lips, just from walking on the boulevard.

No, I didn't read all the pages. No, I don't understand the Turkish culture. No, I cannot really speak Turkish. No, I never worked under Turkish job-circumstances. No, I never spent a winter in Türkiye. No, I never saw the poor ones in Istanbul. No, I don't know Türkiye like a native does. No, I do not wish to pretend I know Türkiye.

Yes, I am in love and I care about nothing!






Hehehe the Lello_in_love message was mine On an old account of which I lost the password

And don't get me wrong in this post Ofcourse I think it is important to learn the country, the culture, the language and its people And yes I do care about the social life and the politics. I'm just saying, loving something will pour sweetness over the bitterness. When one is hungry, one will eat. And I feel this hunger to get to know Türkiye like a native, I want to become part of Türkiye. And no one is gonna stop me

Can someone correct my translation of Hayalperest?
