I just wanted to check if I´m understanding a certain concept correctly.

This is what´s written in one of the books I´m using:

"-malý, -meli" bazen cümleye olasýlýk anlamý da katar." I think it means that -meli/-malý suffixes add the meaning/understanding of probability to some sentences.

And the following examples are given:

Uçak Ýstanbul´a inmiþ olmalý.

Ders zili çalmýþ olmalý.

Ahmet, beðendiði elbiseyi almýþ olmalý.

So my question is, first of all, am I correct in translating the sentences as:

The plane to Istanbul should have landed.

The doorbell should have rung.

Ahmet, should have bought clothes that he likes.

And my second question is, if in the participle -miþ would be the one usually used in this type of sentences. For example, would it be correct to say: Arkadaþým gelmiþ olmalý. for "My friends should have come (meaning he´s probably here)"?

The "-miþ" is a source of miþ-ery to me lol.

Thanks in advance for any feedback/corrections.

According to www.tureng.com lan is something like man, mate. I think it´s the same as ulan, which according to the dictionary is something like "bud, buddy, twerp".

These are just dictionary definitions, I´m sure the natives can elaborate on the colloquial use better.

Have you looked maybe on www.izlesene.com - if you search by müzik you can actually see images of the videos (all 155+ pages of them ) - maybe if you saw a picture from the video it´d ring a bell.

good point! Good thing I wasn´t talking about her then!

Tina, but you know how HARD it is. I´m glad it wasn´t me that made the comment. I was jonesing to do that myself 

if I said that about you, I probably would "mean" it (or close to it).

Well, good for you. Obviously your self-esteem is better than that of us, mere mortals lol.

I disagree slightly on the jealousy issue, I don´t think it´s all or nothing, to me it´s more of a continuum - you can be very jealous and unreasonably so and that would be unhealthy and damaging to the relationship, or you can be totally indifferent and never get jealous, and I don´t think that´s very healthy either. I think it´s good to be a little bit jealous and I think that can motivate people to care about the relationship. And besides, it´s usually not the emotion that´s the problem, it´s what you do with it (in my humble opinion).

I like your attitude though, something to aspire to  

Forgiveness ...

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, ´How many of you have forgiven your enemies?´
80% held up their hands.
The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.
"Miss Kay´´; ´Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?´
I don´t have any.´ She replied, smiling sweetly.
´Miss Kay", that is very unusual. How old are you?´
´Ninety-eight.´ she replied.
´Oh, Miss. Kay, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can
live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?´  
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:  
´I out lived the b*****s. ´  !
