Quoting krazegrl:

what is the 'adim ve soyadim' mean?

(ad - name)
adım - my name (in this context - though adım also means step or pace)

ve - and

(soyadı - surname/family name)
soyadım - my surname

Hope this helps.

I heard about that too - sadly my first thought was:

"Excellent, I wonder if I can buy pork there?"

Quoting SuiGeneris:

you can only understand this with reading the sentence.. and the meaning of that words and here down very common example for it...

That'll be a "no" to the handy list request then...

Oh well - I guess there's no way but the long way!

Thanks for the help anyway...

Yes, I know...

But how can I know where these differently pronounced letters are, if the circumflex is no longer used?

Hence my request for a list of common words with the accent, so that I can pronounce them correctly...

Quoting Kadir37:

Ã¢, Ã®, Ã» :Circumflex used to elongate a, i, and u. This is no longer common practice.
kÃ¢tip , resmÃ® , mÃ»sıkÃ® , mecnÃ»n , kelÃ¢m , edebÃ®

Hmmn...didn't know about the Ã® and Ã» though I do know that the circumflex is now rarely used. However, the words in which it once was do not have the same pronunciation as one would expect.

Like my old friend hÃ¢lÃ¢ - it's not said like hala, is it?

Or am I wrong? Is the pronunciation morphing into the short forms?
