Quoting bod:

Yarın akşam yemeği için ne yemek istersin?



Yes bod very good, strong sentence.



Thank you......

Can you please take a look back at post 45 in this thread and let me know if that one makes sense (probably not) and what needs correcting within it.

Teşekkür ederim

Quoting salukvadze:

you can use either "çok uykum var" or "çok uykum geldi"



geldi ???

:-S *looks very confused* :-S

Surely this is the 3rd person past tense of "to go". I know the gelmek has many meanings, indeed the dictionary quotes "uykusu gelmek - to feel sleepy" but why use 3rd person past tense to describe what appears to me to be a 1st person present situation???

Quoting mltm:

Sevgilim, akşam yemeği için çok teşekkür ederim.
or instead of "akşam yemeği", just "yemek".



I assume the -i suffix because "akşam" is a descriptive noun used to describe the food (yemek) in much the same way as I got confused yesterday!.....see - I am learning slowly lol

If you just use "yemek" then is that not just food? Could that not be interpretted as anything from a snack upwards?

Quoting Elisa:

You're rather thanking your mate or mistress for dinner now
You'd better say aşkım I think.
And "yemek" becomes "yemeğ-i-" when a vowel follows.

Tatlı rüyalar Bod, you really deserve them. I bet you're dreaming in Turkish already as well



Actually I am writing a huge report on a computing project at the moment so I am dreaming of that - but also dreaming of Türkçe and the two get very confused in my sleeping brain.......sometimes in quite disturbing ways lol

So the correct sentence would be:
Aşim yemeğim için çok teşekkür ederim
Thank you very much my love for my dinner.

If it helps you, there is a test that I wrote to help me learn which vowels are in which groups. Feel free to use it if it is helpful to you.

Quoting bod:

Would this be the correct sentence order:
Dostum yemekim için lütfen teşekkler ederim



Why do you put both please and thank you together in the same sentence, it sounds weird.

Dostum, yemek için teşekkür ederim. I think it is what you want to mean. Man(?), thank you for the food.



My brain is not working tonight
What I meant to type was:
Dostum yemekim için çok teşekkler ederim
"Thank you very much for my dinner darling"
(addressed to my girlfriend)

When are küçük and ufak used?
Is there a difference between them?

Quoting Elisa:

I read that's because "su" is a word with only one syllable, hence the -y- as a fusion consonant. Is that true then for all one-syllable words ending in a vowel? I'd guess so?



I cannot think of many mono-syllabic words that end with a vowel......but then again my Türkçe vocabulary is severely lacking Off the top of my head the only one I can think of is ya!
