I think Ayla was right first time:

Denizler means Deniz and his/her family.

e.g. Aylalar is Ayla and her relations.

Yapmak = To do
Yapmamak = Not to do
Yapamamak = Not to be able to do

You need to take off the -mak which is the infinitive ending "to...."
Because it is past tense, we use -di
Because it is we, we then add k
Yapamadık = We were not able to do or We couldn't

Quoting AlphaF:

I am very open minded !
Tell me three good reasons why I should prefer and support feminist woman over feminine ladies !

Alpha, I don't understand why the two are mutually exclusive.

Why cannot I be both feminine and a feminist?

feminine
Of or pertaining to a woman, or to women; characteristic of a woman; womanish; womanly.

feminist
advocate of feminism, one who supports total equality between women and men in all areas of life. relating to or advocating equal rights for women

Maybe some who are feminine do not support total equality between women and men. Maybe some who are feminist are men, or women who express their feminism in a non-feminine way. But there are many, many women (Virginia Woolf included) who are at the same time very feminine and total feminsits.

Quoting yilgun-7:

What is your true reason to use Turkish Class?

To enjoy using Turkish and to help others.

Quoting yilgun-7:

Because it is not special skill or talent to speak English Language here.

Disagree!! Many, many of the Turkish people on this site write excellent English, with a wider vocabulary and more grammatically correct thanmany of the translation requests from native English speakers. I think of all you deserve a round of applause!

Quoting yilgun-7:

You need to know at least three languages as a really cultured person in this life...

Oh dear, poor me, I am obviously not really cultured

Quoting Angg_lovesyou:

When you speak in Turkish..

like if i said..

You are beautiful and i am ugly.
^
how do we put the "and" in the Turkish language.
^
Sen guzelsin ve benim cirkin?
^
im trying to learn turkish. So if you could help me id love the help
anyone!

Putting "ve" is OK, but you need to put the "I am" ending on ugly:

Sen gÃ¼zelsin ve ben Ã§irkinim

It would seem more natural, in Turkish, to leave the "ve" out:
Sen gÃ¼zelsin, ben Ã§irkinim

Or to make a bigger emphasis on the opposite, you could say "As for me, I am ugly". You do this by puttine "ise" after the ben:

Sen gÃ¼zelsin. Ben ise Ã§irkinim

Quoting Inankur:

Iyi geceler askim nasilsin ? Ben iyiyim yalniz sms yazmiyorsun bana neden askim ben yine sefimin yanda caliscam sadece otel degisti bu yil tayar bey otel de caliscam yani Ã¶nceki otelin alt tarafinda biliyorsun askim son kredimi kullandim seni seviyorum Ã¶ptÃ¹m.

*** if he was using the points, commas etc would have been easier anyway here is my attempt
Good night my love, how are you? i am fine. why dont you write me alone the sms? ......... only the hotel changed this year. I will work in Tayar Bey hotel, meaning previous ( here is confusing for me). You know my love, i used my last credit. Love you, kisses

...... = I will work alongside the same boss once more

(here is confusing for me) = you know it is lower down from the previous hotel / you know it is below the previous hotel
