The suffixes '...lı/li/lu/lü' and ...sız/siz/suz/süz'

*The suffixs '...lı/li/lu/lü'is used to form adgectives meaning 'possessed of', 'having'

Quoting qdemir:

In English does vanity also mean fantasy?



Vanity = pride = vainglory mean the quality of feeling of a person who is firmly convinced of his or her own excellence or superiority

Unfortunately not at all but it is my goal for the near future.
You are right regarding reading the poems in every language as I know from few. Hope it will work with Turkish.
Actually have to be positive to get closer to that goal.
