don't drive to Istanbul or Ankara - it makes the Arc de Triumphe roundabout look like a quiet country lane. Add to that the fact that traffic lights seem to have no real purpose in TR because no one appears to take any notice whatsoever of a red light. (as I know to my cost!) Good Luck!

Although I have not driven in either Istanbul or Ankara, I did spend three days solid driving in Turkey last year and had no real difficulty at all - at least Turkish drivers are predictable!!!

The most difficult thing to get used to is the habit of indicating left then pulling over to the right to let traffic pass before turning :-S

Quoting bod:

So, because the verb araştırmak can only be applied to nouns in the accusative state, we would conjugate it as follows:

Beni araştırıyorum
Seni araştırıyorsun
Onu araştırıyor

Is that right???

It's correct, but why do you use the first person conjugation of the verb with first person of the pronoun? And 2nd with 2nd and so on? Is that a coincidence?
How would you translate "We are investigating them?"

Ah yes - I see my mistake.......
I had translated these as follows:
Beni araştırıyorum - I am researching
Seni araştırıyorsun - you are researching
Onu araştırıyor - they are researching

But they should be:
Beni araştırıyorum - I am researching me
Seni araştırıyorsun - you are researching you
Onu araştırıyor - they are researching them
Which doesn't exactly make sense!!!

Therefore
we are investigating them would be
onları arastırıyorumuz

Quoting heybey:

Then, a glass of fresh-squeezed portakal suyu and we have a heavenly breakfast on the Mediterranean Sea.

As you say "freshly squeezed" I assume that portakal suyu is "orange juice". But we buy sour cherry juice from a local Turkish shop and that is described as vişne nektari

What is the difference between portakal suyu and portakal nektari ???
