I wasn´t suggesting the translations are a direct translation. What I was suggesting is you can listen to spoken Turkish, and read the subtitlles to get an idea of what it is about. 

To each their own, if you don´t want to watch it, jusst turn off the subtitles. You do have a choice.

i totally agree with penguin, watching turkish movies with english subtitles can just make you understand it wrong cause there is many sentences that cannot be ranslated literally. From my experience, the best way to learn turkish is to watch turkish movies without translation, and you will learn much faster, at least i do

Ummm, why would you want a Turkish show, where Turkish is spoken, to have Turkish subtitles? 

Perhaps you could find the script and read along. Otherwise, it would have to be something specially prepared for learning, and those are not nearly as entertaining, most the time. 

Quoting Penguin

I have watched also. But do you  know any Turkish shows or movies with "Turkish" subtitles. I would like to read along to understand the language better.

I found a wonderful youtube site where there is English translation for the Turkish Series Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century)

I like being able to hear spoken Turkish and be entertained at the same time.

It does not matter who you are, what you believe, how democratic and tolerant   you are in Europe or in USA, it seems-according to the posts above-, you are all fascist christian Pakis anyway..

I can not speak of Europe, the USA has no official religion. Many faiths are subscribed to and practiced here. People are free to believe, not believe and search for what ever beliefs they wish. Faith must come from the heart, it can not be forced. Many people claim to be a member of some faith or another, however when you question them, you often find their actual knowledge of what they profess to believe is very limited.

What`s next? Will you also claim that America and Europe are not christian? Why do they celebrate the Native American Genocide under the name of Columbus Day if they are not Pakis?

What is that in blue in the map above ? Why does it say "Azerbaijani South" for blue areas ? [since i see the whole Turkia -except southeast-  is coloured in blue according to map ?]

I think you/we need take another look, America is not white, nor is Europe white these days. What on earth white means is quite another question.

It is more a matter of "have a lot", "have more", "have little" and "have hardly any". There are few who "have enough". 
There seems to be an insaitable desire, or compulsion to "have it all" to be on "top"
The urge to share and take care of one another is lacking.  
Don´t be fooled into thinking it´s White versus...? That is just a way to divide people.

It doesn´t matter what you are personally. I´m talking about europeans and americans in general.

Eurovis, you are very very wrong....you have no idea if I´m a Black, Asian or Amerindian....go get your facts straight, so don´t go making assusmptions as to who is who and what.   

Quoting eurovis

 

Yes you all came from Pakistan but because the european fascists are ashamed of their Indian-Paki origin they came up with the term "caucasian" claiming that europeans migrated from the caucausus which is a pure lie and has no scientific evidence. Have you ever wondered what the "arian" race is? Is it the race with blonde people with blue eyes as the european fascists claim? No It´s the Indo-Paki race which you are also a member of.

Your language and Indian belong to the same language family which means they were once the same single language.

Eurovis, I did NOT call any race white. The term is pretty confusing and I don´t understand it myself.....and don´t say my ancestors came from India and Pakistan. The fact of the matter is it seems we all came from Africa in different migrations.
What is most important is we learn to live together in peace and harmony. I think we need to learn to accept and celebrate our differences.

 

 

 

 

 

The term "white" is even more confusing. the race you call white is the indian race which includes not just germans english or french but also indians pakistanis iranians greeks and armenians. The latter however don´t look so white right? But basically all of you migrated from india and pakistan.

True, however the problem is it sort of gives the impression all of the Asians or Hispanics are the same, when in fact there is a very wide variation. For instance there are for Asians we have East Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong....with the Latinos there are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Salvadorans....I could go on, but hopefully you get the picture. I haven´t even scraped the surface of the diversity in those two groups, Asians and Hispanics. Once they are here, they are all Americans, they are all subject to the same laws and basic human needs.

I dont see anything wrong about exploring and exposing the demographics.

an example of a city demographics:

---

The racial/ethnic/cultural composition of Los Angeles as of the 2005-2009 American Community Survey was as follows:

    White: 41.3% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 29.4%)
    Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 47.5%
    Black or African American: 9.8%
    Native American: 0.5%
    Asian: 10.7%
    Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.2%
    Other: 25.2%
    Two or more races: 2.8%

---

anyone who feel themselves american or angelinos is american or angelinos! (whatever it means!)
