Thanks Freshman, can you give me few examples of the case above, please.
It is the only example like this in the whole lesson, so I wonder what is the rule that dictates it.

Merhaba

I need a bit of help please.
çocuğun okulu otobüs durağına yakındır.

I understand the whole sentence including all the suffixes except for the last "a" in "durağına".
Is it a typing error or did I miss some grammar rules?!!
Shouldn't it be: çocuğun okulu otobüs durağın yakındır.

teşekkür ederim

download this program, it is called "microsoft office word viewer 2003" and it does exactly what the name indicates. I tried it, it reads word documents like word itself.

It would be a nice idea if we nominate few cafés or café/restaurants for the members here to vote for and the winner café would be the hangout place and the meeting point for all the Turkish class members, somewhere nice and spacious as well.
Maybe we can announce certain days in the year to meet there or it would be a meeting place every Sunday in addition to it being a hangout place.

Hi
Can I have some help here please.
They explained in the book that "ile" can be used instead of "ve" and they gave an example[1]: Doktor ile hemşire.
then they explained that you can omit the "i" and add the "le" as a suffix and gave an example[2]: Doktorla hemşire.
All is fine till they gave the following example[3]: Doktor hemşıreyle beraberdır.(The doctor is together with the nurse). Why not Doktorla hemşıre beraberdır. or hemşıreyle doktor beraberdir.
Or why the second example [2]was not like this: Doktor hemşireyle.

where can I take turkish lessons?

now you know that you have more than a penpal in turkey.
