Quoting caliptrix
I think you are completely wrong.
"hayat tarzı" is neither wrong nor weird. It is very normal, at least for me.
"hayat sigorta" is wrong, it must be "hayat sigortası". And "yaşam sigortası" is common and well-known as well. "yaşam" is Turkish, "hayat" is Turkish too, but from Arabic origin.
Maybe the only difference is "yaşam" sounds more elite level people's usage.[/QUOTE:
Thanks to everyone who wrote in on this. In actual fact I have worked in the life insurance industry in Turkey for 10 years. Yaşam sigortası is not used as terminology in the industry at all. Yaşama bağlı sigortalar is used, but never yaşam sigortası. I have discussed this a number of times with some very educated people in the industry, and they have just said "sometimes we use hayat and sometimes yaşam ... you just learn which sounds right when"
We use hayat sigorta as a description (adj) e.g. hayat sigorta şirketi or hayat sigorta yönetmeliği. You are right, the actual insurance is hayat sigortası (as a noun).
It is interesting, someone said that we don't do can sigortası. But the overriding legislation as part of the Commercial Code(Türk Ticaret Kanuni) is called Can Sigortaları Bölümü !!!

Quoting p88jen: What does this mean? In Ehglish please
Abi sadece bir aksam yemek yiyelim dedik baska bir sey demedik, ki niye kabul et mi yorsunuz bu yazi sana FERHAT abi anladin sen
Please..thanks |
Brother, we just said let's eat dinner together one evening, we didn't say anything else. why don't you accept the invitation.
Next sentence is a bit garbled in Turkish. I guess it says:
Ferhat sent this to you. Do you undersand?

I know these two words both mean life.
Sometimes we have to use yaşam e.g.
yaşam tarzı = life style (hayat tarzı sounds wrong)
and sometimes we have to use hayat e.g.
hayat sigorta = life insurance (yaşam sigorta definitely doesn't exist!)
My Q is: is there a rule that will help me know when to use yaşam and when to use hayat?
Thanks!

Quoting smudge1098: I'M shy to say(speak) i love you, but i do.
My attempt.....
ürkekim seni seviyorum söyleya, ama bir ben |
ürkek = coward
you could use korkuyorum (I am afraid)
or çekingen (I am shy)
kaçınmak (to avoid)
if I say çekiniyorum this could be misunderstood as it also means I have reservations about something
Try
Çekingen olduğum için seni sevdiğimi söylemekten kaçınıyorum, fakat gerçekten öyle.

If he does not know how, can you please help him?

Thanks for translating! |
Nur lütfen Sevket'e kendisi için msn hesabını açmasını isteyebilir misin? Açarsa sizi rahatsız etmeden ona direk mail yollayabilirim.
Nasıl açldığını bilmiyorsa ona yardımcı olur musun?
Kardeşi (if his brother is younger than him, substitute Ağabeyi if his brother is older) hakkında onunla görüşmem lazım
