The right club for you is great - the wrong one can be anything from slightly boring if you are with the right people, through to downright horrible if you are not!!!

Personally I have difficulty living more than a couple of weeks without a good session of clubbing - my personal taste is goth/rock clubs.

Your total score on the site: 1573
Your contribution ranking among Turkish Language Class members: 1

what is my contribution ranking?? how did i get that??

Total score seems to be the same as the number of posts......

Mine says:
Your total score on the site: 1216
Your contribution ranking among Turkish Language Class members: 2

So I assume the ranking takes into consideration the frequency of your posts over a given period of recent time - I did ask the same question some time ago but got no answer

Quoting mltm:

"Neden havlıyorsun?" diye ona sordum.

I am not understanding the last bit of this diye ona sordum

Sormak (to ask) takes the /i/ (accusative) noun state - but ona is the /e/ (dative) state of the third person singular personal pronoun.

How can this be???
Surely it should be onu instead of ona

Well, you don't only use those words when talking to a dog, you know

Well - of course there are many situations where cause or effect are obvious.......but equally there are a number that are not known until the questions has been answered :-S

Quoting mltm:

In fact, there may be a very slight difference of nuance, but you can usually use them interchangeably
You could also say: "NiÃ§in havlıyorsun?" here.
I said "neden havlıyorsun" because it just came out of my mouth this way.

Ah!!!
Thanks

So when I wrote "o niÃ§in havlıyordu?" I was actually asking "why was there barking?"

Quoting Elisa:

I used to mix up neden and niÃ§in, I don't know if you have the same problem, but I'll explain it anyway.

You use neden when you ask for the cause of something. In this case, someone coming to the house caused Floss to bark.
You use niÃ§in when you ask for the purpose of something. Floss could be barking because she knows she will get food when she barks.

I do not understand how you might know which one to use until you know the answer to the question you are asking!!!

"Why did you bark?"
because a person came to the door
(therefore neden)

"Why did you bark?"
because I wanted to frighten the person at the door
(therefore niÃ§in)
