Quoting Deniz:

thank you all for your help I appreciate it
I guess i have to buy a more comprehensive book about this issue or simply listen more turkish radio.....

I think that listening to spoken Turkish is probably the best way to learn about accents!!! Certainly something that I need to do :-S

Is it acceptable to ask negative questions in TÃ¼rkÃ§e???

For example:
Yemek istiyor musun?
Do you want to eat

Yemek istemiyor musun?
Do you not want to eat

Sorry ErdinÃ§, I have read over your explanation many times and totally do not understand it

I am really really struggling with the idea of applying noun states to pronouns!!! I just cannot get my head around when you use one state and when you use another and I can find any rules that describe this.......I am beginning to lose sleep over pronoun states

1. Ã‡ok teşekkÃ¼rler ErdinÃ§ iÃ§in bunu araştırdığın iÃ§in.
Thanks very much ErdinÃ§ for researching this.

OK - I think I can work out the formation of arastirdigin but I am really struggling to understand bunu - would I be right that this is bu with the third person possessive suffix?

Quoting erdinc:

Yeah, if you meant dog food than kÃ¶pek yemeği would suit better but the problem is that there is no common agreement on such a usage and kÃ¶pek yemeği sounds too unusaual for me. I will give you alternatives:

dog food:
1. kÃ¶pek maması
2. kÃ¶pek yemi
3. kÃ¶pek yemeği

Ã‡ok teşekklÃ¼rler ErdinÃ§ iÃ§in bu araştırmadım
Thanks very much ErdinÃ§ for researching this

See, in England we go to the supermarket or specialist animal store (pet shop) and buy "dog food". This comes in either tinned form or bagged form. A tin gererally contains what looks like chunks of meat in a sort of gravy. A bag would contain dry food. Most people feed their dogs with a combination of the two. Our three dogs mostly eat the same as we eat but they have "dog food" when there is not enough left over from what we have cooked or it is not suitable for them.

Surely kÃ¶pek yemi would be strictly dry food and would exclude the tinned variety of dog food. Indeed the three examples you give above are all for dried dog food. Is this the case or could "kÃ¶pek yemi" also mean tinned food???
