I hope you can doing the rest of it Angel , I need to go lay down (sick as a dog) but would to leave it half undone.

- We were honest: At one time the London Chamber of Commerce in the most visible plase hung a sign to this effect:

"Do business with Turks, you can´t go wrong".

- We were polite: Italian traveller names Edmondo de Amicis, described to us "us" of the 1980s: "Turkish people in Istanbul are Europe´s most polite and most refined people". Quarrels/fights on the streets are very rare. Raised voices are rarely heard. They are so permissive that, at the time of worship one can even tour the mosques, that we saw in our churches ....

I´m not sure what to make out of the last part - "kolalýðýn çok ..."

Wait for corrections, as always.

- We were civilized: English ambassador to Turkey in the 1740s, Sir James Porter, says (said?) these: "The Turks are very civilized people".

Please wait for corrections. I don´t think I can do the whole thing, but I´m gonna try bits an pieces if I can.

Ayak - foot; ayaklarým - my feet

Ýyi haftalar - good weeks, have a good week

Aynen öyle - precisely

Nazar deðdi nazar - was affected by the evil eye, the evil eye

Wait for corrections. 

Thankyou very much for the corrections Merih.

A quick follow up question.

So it looks like -a/e baðlý is a good expression to know for "depends on", like sana baðlý - depends on you, up to you, etc (he he I just found that one, I´m learning something new every day

How would you say "depends on what time it is?". For example, let´s say somebody is inviting you somewhere, but you have plans and don´t know if you can make is, so you say "it depends on what time it is". Saat kaçtaya baðlý? or maybe Saat kaçta olmaya baðlý? or maybe something else altogether?

Thanks.

 I think it says, "Let there be a little bit of you in everything", but wait for corrections.

Before you add it to anything, please wait for corrections if needed. 

Another correction, it should be orada not onlarda

I hear you, it´s the most ocnfusing thing, I call it my miþery lol. Here´s a good lesson that might make it easier to get the grammar: http://www.turkishclass.com/turkish_lesson_19

I think in this case this tense would be use to express inference, so maybe a better translation would be "I must have fallen asleep""or "I must have dozed off" - we´ll need to wait for somebody more experienced/native speaker to confirm or explain it better
