Quoting baterista

...one last problem with the very same story (I thought it through thoroughly before asking this time!), the one at http://www.bukalp.com/hikaye/cocuk.php?op=yazi_oku&id=545

 

It´s the sentence "Ýlk iki öðüdümü çok iyi tuttunda üçüncüsünü mü tutacaksýn?" in the last paragraph. I don´t understand it fully, and most of all I don´t understand the word "tuttunda". It´s derived from the verb "tutmak", but the only way I can make some sense of it is if it is a variant spelling of "tuttuðunda". But then I am unable to make sense of the sentence as a whole. As usual, I´m extremely grateful for any help!

 

/Fredrik, stockholm

 

I´m going to try that one, although I´m not 100% sure.

 

I think  you´re right and it should be tuttuðunda.

 

Ýlk iki öðüdümü çok iyi tuttuðunda üçüncüsünü mü tutacaksýn?

When my first two pieces of advise you keep (hold, take?) very well, will you keep his third one?

 

Would that make sense with the rest of the story?

Quoting Abdul Hamid II

Merhaba,

 

I just need a small translation from English to Türkçe. Teþekkürler.

 

I just wanted to wish you happy eid. I hope your Ramadan went well. May God accept all good from you. 

 

 

My try:

I´m not sure what "eid" is, so I´m just going to leave it untranslated.

 

Sana "eid" mutlu olsun dilerim. Ramazanin iyi geçdiðini umuyorum. Allah razý olsun.

Quoting Madieke

I´ve done like that...

 

"Yýldýzlarda yürüdümüz, sadece seni hatirlamak istiyorum"

"Birlikte geçirdiðimiz, güzel zamanlarda"

 

Wrong???

 

I´m not sure. Unsure

I´m hoping a native speaker/advanced learner will take a look at our attempts.

Quoting ReyhanL

 

 

 Can you live in the way I want?

can Will you be the wife i want?

Will you make do everyting that I want?

 

 Just a small correction - make & do are not quite interchangeable in this context (in English).

I like the BBC Türkçe. The articles are not exact translations of the English ones, but they are close enough.

 

For example compare this article in Turkish with its English equivalent here.

Quoting izah

maybe 3rd one is

 

Hayýr, gözlüðün bende deðil

 

reason:

ð : consonant harmony

deðil in stead of yok because its about being somerwhere

bende cause of locative

 

but, i´m a learner so maybe correction needed by profýcýency level or native

 

I think it should be yok actually. You say "bende para var" and "bende para yok", so by the same token I think: "bende gözlüðün yok" should be  correct.

 

Also,

 

Gardýrobumda gömleðin var.

Quoting turkiye59

a quick question....

 

" çok ama" is this used to just emphasise a sentence?  for example I see some write " Seni çok ama çok ozledim"

 

can anyone explain this for me please?

 

Tsk

 

 

It´s kind of hard in English to explain, in Polish there´s a similar construction (bardzo, ale to bardzo) that is close to the "çok ama çok", so if I were to translate it into English, I´d say "I miss you very, and I mean very much". So yeah, to answer your question, it would be used for emphasizing the "çok".

Quoting KeithBMI

I am making a birthday card for a Turkish friend.

 

I want to say, "Happy birthday, my flower!"

 

Would "Doðum günün kutlu olsun, çiçeðim!" be correct?

 

Thank you!

 

It looks good. Big smile

 

(I´m a learner though so proceed at your own risk lol)
