Gençliğin kıymetini ihtiyarlar, huzûrun kıymetini huzûrsuzlar, sıhhatin kıymetini hastalar, hayatın kıymetini ölüler bilir.

Elders know the value of youth, peaceless people know the value of peace, sick people know the value of health, and dead people know the value of life.

I haven´t been able to study turkish as much as want to because of school work. But I need to translate this in turkish, can you guys help?.. I want to get a tattoo and It´ll be cool if it´s in turkish..

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

A translation that can be well understood . Hopefully the tattoo artist wont mess up any words lol

Thank you

Hello Faruk, yes, it looks like basil. But why do people rub the top of it? Is it for good luck? I have a Turkish friend who does this, but he couldn´t say where custom comes from. (I thought by rubbing the plant it releases the scent and keeps the mosquitoes away)?

They rub it so its scent will be released. That´s it. There´s no superstition or anything.

ok what did he said? i dont know. you know i want to tell him that i miss him so much and other things like that, but its better not to say it. i dont want to give him hopes again. it would be wrong. i dont know what to say. u can tell him hi from me and that im very happy that

he will get out soon. and that he is always on my mind. behcet im afraid of talking with him now becuz im afraid that maybe he has forgotten me or something else, who knows. i try not to think about it. sofia is very good. she ask me about u sometimes, and she miss talking with u.

Tamam, o ne dedi? Bilmiyorum. Ona onu çok özlediğimi ve bunun gibi şeyleri söylemek istediğimi biliyorsun. Fakat en iyis ihiç söylememek. Ona tekrar umut vermek istemiyorum. Yanlış olabilir. Ne diyeceğimi bilmiyorum. Ona benim selamımı ve yakında çıkacağı için mutlu olduğumu söyleyebilirsin. Onun her zaman aklımda olduğumu da. Behçet, onunla konuşmaya şimdilik korkuyorum çünkü beni unutmuş olabilir veya başka bir şey olabilir, kim bilir. Bunu düşünmemeye çalışıyorum. Sofia iyi. Bana bazen seni soruyor ve seninle konuşmayı özlüyor.

Faruk, thanks, you had cleared it already. What about the translations is suggested:

beş kitabın tümü/bütünü

right or wrong?

Ah, that.

When you put a number in front of a word, you don´t add plural suffix. But if the number is not known or is not mentioned, then you put plural suffix.

1 ayda beş kitap okudum - I read 5 books in a month.

Bu ay bazı kitapları okudum - I read some books in this month.

Ali Baba´nın çiftliğinde 10 at var - There are 10 horses in Ali Baba´s farm.

Ali Baba´nın çiftliğinde atlar var - There are horses in Ali Baba´a farm.

(this isn´t part of the story, but my 4 1/2 year old daughter can read it in English, I want her to read it in Turkish, too!)

Question: In English, "sheep" is singular AND plural. Does Turkish have any words like that? When I first plugged these into Google Translate, only "atlar" had the -ler/-lar at first. Is that optional? So often Turkish seems to eliminate the superfluous..

I corrected only 2 because the rest is correct.

We don´t have superfluous words but there are some words in Turkish that are plural. They are derived from other languages. Such as: ebat (plural of boyut: dimentions), evrak (plural of varak: documents), suhuf (plural of sahife: pages), emtia (plural of meta: goods, merchandise), etc. Both plural and singular words are not originally Turkish.
