This should be "terbiyeli ol" and sometimes said "uslu dur" (be good, sit still).

Quoting Trudy

You know most people?

 

All Turks I know (and I know quite a few here in the Netherlands and some in Turkey) call it Şeker Bayramı - religious or not, all political parties represented.

 

I haven´t met all Turks yet, but I´m sure most of it think same as me. And I´m sure the number of Turks I know is much more than the number of Turks you know.

 

But why are we starting arguement? The name Ramazan bayramı is given and known before (about 1400 years before) and still now it is Ramazan. Şeker Bayramı is a name given lately by a small but powerful number of people. That´s all I say. I dont want to talk and argue about this topic anymore.

Quoting MarioninTurkey

I am not prepared to get into a political argument with you.  Both are used. 

 

I have lived here since 1994, and every year it is called Şeker Bayram by a large part of the population.  In recent years, there has been a trend for using the name Ramazan Bayramı (it is a political debate, as people link this with Ak Party influence) and I have just checked the Diyanet website.  This does in fact call it Ramazan Bayramı. 

 

Most printed calendars (or, to be more correct, the ones here in my office - produced by book publishers or insurance companies or the ataturk thought society!) say Şeker Bayramı.

 

The Kültür Bakanlığı site uses both names Ramazan/Şeker Bayramı.

 

For insight into why on earth this name too has become yet another stick for Turks from different ends of the spectrum to beat each other up about see this thread on another forum:

 

http://www.dilforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18786

 

Let us live together in the spirit of the bayram - whatever name we call it!

 

I don´t want an argument as well. Actually there is nothing to argue.

 

I, also, have been living here since 1985, but large part of population calls it Ramazan Bayramı. There is nothing with AK Party. before AK Party, people was using Ramazan Bayramı as well. Şeker Bayramı is called by people who are not so religios, do not feel and live Ramazan, and also called by media which are not also religious but have power. (Should I give the name of them?)

 

You said you have a calendar says Şeker Bayramı. But not most printed calendars say it, I´ve never seen any calendar like it. I don´t know which part of Turkey, or in Istanbul have you lived or worked, but as far as I know only a few people call it Şeker Bayramı in here or where I ´ve been. I think, it´s just only you met some people who did not feel the true spirit.

 

Well, the spirit, bayram´s spirit comes from Ramazan month not from candies. That is the true spirit. Because it´s not only a holiday which people give each other candies, but it´s something that people go and visit each other, go to their relatives, to their parents, go to their friends and make them happy, show them their love and respect. That´s the true Ramazan Bayramı spirit, please.

 

Please, do not think it as an argument but an information of what most people think.

Quoting else

What are you doing on your holiday? Will you meet me in Antalya and visit Levent? If not, please explain why. It feels like you are using me, and if you are using me - then we are finish!

 

Tatilde ne yapıyorsun? Benimle Antalya´da buluşacak ve Levent´i ziyaret edecek misin? Eğer buluşmayacaksan nedenini söyle. Sanki beni kullanıyormuşsun gibi hissediyorum, ve eğer beni kullanıyorsan - bitiririz.

Bayramınız mübarek olsun

Bayramınız kutlu olsun

İyi bayramlar

 

By the way, I don´t approve the name Şeker Bayramı. What is that? It is Ramazan Bayramı, comes after the Ramazan. Şeker Bayramı is a wrong usage, it destroys all the meaning of Ramazan.

"cant you see that you belong to me?"

 

i just need this to be translated, thanksss.

 

Actually "see" has several meanings, so I´ll write some sentences:

 

Sen bana aitsin göremiyor musun? (see = see )

Sen bana aitsin anlayamıyor musun? (see = understand)

Sen bana aitsin kabul edemiyor musun? (see = accept)

Quoting alexxxia

My credit finished. you heard me badly because I was calling from the call-box card. it´s 3 times cheaper than calling from the mobile phone card and it would be even 10 times cheaper if I could you call to the fixed-line telephone.

 

thank you in advance

 

Kontörüm bitti. Sesimi kötü işitiyordun çünkü telefon kulübesinden kartla arıyordum. Bu cep telefonu kartıyla aramaktan 3 kat daha ucuz ve eğer ev telefonunu ararsam 10 kat daha ucuza geliyor.
