Fafna oyuncak edjerham.
O Türkçe ben öğreniyor yardım etmek istiyor!


Fafna benim oyuncak ejderham. O Türkçe öğrenmede bana yardım ediyor.



I'm really not understanding this one

Fafna benim oyuncak ejderham
Why do we need to include benim when the personal possessive suffix -im has already been applied to ejderha-im???

O Türkçe öğrenmede bana yardım ediyor
That appears to translate as "he is helping me to learn Türkçe" although I cannot work out the suffix(es) added to öğren!

Quoting lululy:

when to use "musun" and "misin" for making questions??



musun and misin are both formed from the question word mi with the second person possessive suffix -sin added.

Although mi is a seperate word it is considered a suffix and therefore its form follows the vowel harmony rules:

kahve istiyor musun? (present continuous tense)
kahve ister misin?[/i] (aorist tense)

Hope that helps

In English we use 'am' and 'pm' to signify if a time is in the morning or afternoon.......how do we do this in Türkçe???



you can use sabah ..... for am and öğlenden sonra .... for pm

Very good bod. Maybe you can make another one with " quarter past" or something like that.



I can - but you will have to wait for the right time lol

Saat on ikiye beç var - (guess I must have read the time wrong on the last one )

I think men are so cute when they cry. I mean if they are hungry and Mom is not around they wanna cry.. if they have to see a dentist 'cos of a toothache they wanna cry.. if they met a girl when she's already taken they really cry. I remember my ex-boyfriend crying during one of our discussions and a suitor crying after turning him down. What does these things imply?



A suitor eh???

Now there's a word you don't see everyday lol

Telling the time naturally involves numbers so seems to me like good language practice
But in Türkçe, time also provides good practice for vowel harmony rules due to the addition of 'i' or 'e' (or their mutated forms) to the hour!

So, in the interests of language practice, I am going to start adding the time to the end of my posts - at least when I remember and until I feel that both numbers and vowel harmony comes much more natuarally than they do now

Please correct me if I get the structure wrong!!!

Saat on ikiye dört var.
