In this lesson:

it says that when a noun describes what a second noun is made of there are no suffixes added to either noun.

e.g  metal kutu - metal box

But why do soups have an ý suffix???

e.g. iþkembe corbasý - tripe soup

Why is it not iþkembe çorba as the iþkembe is what the çorba is made from.   Is this an exception that applies to all foods?

Thankyou very much, Melek. That´s fabulous!!! I totally get it now


Although one more thing if anyone can help me out, on the same excersise where it says "Antalya´da ect.) Then then asks questions for you to complete. However, it then sets the words like so...

So, why do none of the following contain apostraphies? Once again, that you so much for your kind help Melek. And to anyone else who does

Turkia beat Estonia 4-2 in tonight´s World Cup qualification game tonight, despite a lead goal by Estonians at the 6th minute.

I was reading one of the "homework excersises" and i was relieved to find out what (word)´da ment as I had seen it alot and never knew what it ment. However, I noticed something strange with them

in Ankara > Ankara´da
in Izmir > Izmir´de
at school> okulda
on the radio > radyoda

Ok, so why is it that Ankara´da and Izmir´de both have ´ to seperate de/da but okul and radyo don´t?

Is this because Ankara and Izmir are both "in" and the other are "on" and "at" or is there a special rule for this that i should know? Because if there is i´d like to know it before i continue learning!

Thanks guys!

 Not readily collated to hand no.  If you would like to forward payment I would be very happy and interested to prepare a thesis on this subject though

What is easily accessible to even the most inexperienced of googlers are statistics which show the increase in crimes involving children under 12,together with the medical evidence produced in court cases involving crimes committed by children involving torture/killing of animals/murder which show the children to have psychopathic traits.

Whilst I realise my comment about single parents is very un-PC, the fact remains that it is a factor.  Below is an extract from a book that may interest you:-

“The circumstances of children involved in child protection processes in Britain are different…from the majority of children.  Although there is a rise (generally) in the number of lone parent families, abused and neglected children are far more likely to be with one parent than the norm.  So whilst 73% of children in the UK live with both parents and 8% in reconstituted families, only 38% of those involved in the children protection process live with both parents” Ryal & Little, 2000

Melek, we are talking about the general aspects of society. There is no society on Earth where problems about choice have been completely solved. There is a certain interaction between coercion and people. Demands evolve within society and they are answered by way of laws, regulations and a new order is established by  the gradual  change of  mentality. If one individual is not aware of or does not have a need for a certain freedom which is considered necessary elsewhere, this would not be the problem of the system or the regime.

Just look at the world outside by remembering the conditions majority of people are in. If you want a feminist movement in Saudi Arabia which even in my book is nowhere near a true democracy, you should be able to create demand for sexual equality among Saudi women majority of whom essentially believe in the necessity of a male run society.  In Iran and Afghanistan too, women are oppressed by militia. Nevertheless, these are not democracies. Turkey is a democracy. There are laws like the Civil Code which was modeled around the Swiss Civil Code and the Penal Code that follows the outlines of the French one. Though not comperable to aforementioned countries, no gender discrimination is allowed in this country. A sizeable portion of society however are subjected to rules other than those decided by the Parliament. My Kurdish friends tell me, their family council would gather and decide on a honor killing should even a wire of his sister´s or mother´s hair is seen  by a stranger or should there be a rumour about her whether true or not. There are also feuds continuing for years. There is no way that such primitive traditions can be tolerated. I have written about those earlier. Nonetheless, it is not possible to correct them overnight by passing a certain law or by enforcing it. You need to play with the internal dynamics of that community and gain their consent. Since consent is always the keyword in all these matters.

I would like you to focus on the word "consent" and also the way society is described as common work of people. This is the basis of all modern-day nations. 

 Vineyards has a good point - all your points above prove is that there is cruelty and inhumanity in life.  I can think of some stomach churning examples of child abuse, neglect, torture, murder, cruelty in the west which are a direct result of our "culture".  I presume you also have a moral obligation to speak out about this abuse too?  Like it or not, the break down of the traditional "family" in western society is producing feral, psychopathic children.
