Next time i will read the rules first

I didn't really understand how to do when there are double-consonants.. leZZetli ve markeTTen..

To convince my lover of my love The first time i ran away from home, i did it GOOD, to Turkey

And i got what i hoped for, even more

I'm only 18 years old and im going to move to Turkey next year too.
I think I will do the right thing. But if it's a mistake, the only way to find out if it's a mistake, is to make it!

Many people who climb a mountain to see its beautiful view, forget that the road itself is also a wondrous thing.
I believe I will enjoy all of the road together with my love, to, in the end, enjoy a beautiful view together and memories to a beautiful and 'conquered' road, against all prejudice.

I've sent you a private message straight away! Thanks so much

Yes I would like Islamic Mystic.. (now i forgot the name, ama ne demek istiyorum, biliyorsun, or something like that ) Anyways I'd like that music too.


And i'm crying sooo much now!! I found out that SEZEN AKSU GIVES TWO CONCERTS IN AMSTERDAM THIS WEEEEEK!! IF I HAD KNOWN BEFORE I DEFINITELY WOULDVE BOUGHT TICKETS! BUT NOW ITS SOLD OUT Yes Im very sad about this, you understood me well Damn i really hate it. Where can i find a list of dates that she might perform in summer in turkey? Because then im definitely gonna goooo !

OHH I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!! Seriously And i always try to figure what the turkish woman says? I can't understand.. only Lütfen sonra or somethign and im not even sure what it is

Can someone tell me what the turkish lady says before the person you blablabla?

Hi dear classmates,

I hope one (or more ) of you, have Turkish Halk Muzik on your pc.. I will send you my e-mail address if you have. My inbox is big enough to hold quite a few songs, but if you have msn, then it would be even better to send
An upload-site would be good too, but to be honest i prefer to have it sent over msn.

Any other kinds of more traditional music are welcome too.

And does someone have Mevlud or Mevlana (i don't know exactly..) music? I would love to hear it

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it would be nice if our administrators (or the ones who keep this site up to date) could also put AGE in it?
I mean, i would understand if you would rather keep your age to yourself (tho actually, whats there to be ashamed of?!)

I often notice I would like to know what age people are, just..as in being curious? Or maybe wondering why someone says such beautiful things? Due to life-experience?

And I've always preferred GENDER over SEX.. because then you always have those 'funny' people, that say:

Gender: female / male (whatever)
Sex: anyplace, anytime, anywhere

Ohh can someone help me?! Because my sweetheart once taught me a turkish proverb, meaning you learn a language the best from a native speaker.. somethign with 'dil' in it twice.. once meaning 'tongue' and once meaning 'language'.

I can't wait to see Kadir again so that he can kiss me and teach me this wonderful language

WOW this is great ! Thanks Bab!! AMAZIN!!!

I really feel sorry for myself!! Being in my examyear doesn't give me much time to study Turkish. Tho that is what i wanna do like every minute!

A language is indeed very big, but therefore even more attractive. I feel like i wanna 'conquer' this language. Some of my friends make fun of me, they think i'll never learn it because to them it sounds abracadabra.. But oh yeah One day I'll kick ass and talk turkish to all of you

Yes Lyndie, i suffer from the same problem as you do! According to my french teacher i sound like a Française too It's the language I've been wanting to study for many years, but now I switched to Turkish. I wanna learn this fascinating language and its literature inside out. But i can't find my 'Turkish tongue'!!

Well trying to answer the first question.. I don;t think Turkish basics are difficult. But you need a good 'index' of what to learn otherwise you feel like you loose control. That's why i loved this site so much when i just began (im still a beginner,but that is due to time). It gave a clear overview of the basictopics. Before i knew this site, i had started myself, and i totally felt like i didnt have control over anything of the language so you basically feel like your going nowhere. Once you have a good list of basictopics, and follow it, tick it off once ur finised with a subject

Other than Lyndie, I've got much 'experiences' with phrases such as conjunctive, aorist, subjunctive, because I have Latin and Ancient Greek education. For me it is easy to 'know' what they mean. But knowing many different languagestructures makes it more difficult for me, because each structure is different tho sometimes the same phrases are used. A Latin aorist is differently used than a Turkish one, not to mention my mothertongues structure, Dutch.

I don't remember who said English was easy but i really don't agree. I speak quite fluent, but to use English grammar completely perfect and pronounce each new word well, is VERY hard. I would consider English as one of the most difficult European languages.

Oh and to clear a bit up: the French word CHEZ basically just means 'at' and is used in several situations, but it is very correct to translate it like 'smo's place'.. because:
Chez moi = at me = at my place.

When i read the dictionary, i see many words come from French. For example the word 'papiyon', comes from Papillon which means Butterfly in French. Situations as in "Chez Balaban", are they commonly used?
