True! you are getting ready for an A+

Someone just made my day.

Well done Elisa

But perhaps someone could explain how haftaya gÃ¶rÃ¼şÃ¼rÃ¼z means "see you next week" as opposed to some other week in the future?

Quoting Deli_kizin:

There are many Turkish newspapers on the internet. A while ago i bought myself a HÃ¼rriyet. I know this is not a childrensnewspaper, but i found it quite easy, at least the little articles

I did a search for HÃ¼rriyet.
Not only did I find their website as you might expect, but I also found a digitalised version of the current issue

Hope it is helpful:
Webpage is here

Quoting SuiGeneris:

when you say haftaya you refer next week. but when you say aksama and yarına there is no such thing...

Do you mean that yarın doesn't need a suffix because it is already fully qualified as being 'tomorrow' where as hafta does need the suffix to specify which week???

Quoting Deli_kizin:

me neither Since when do you study Turkish, Bod? I have the feeling you started only short time ago, but are progressing very fast. I don't seem to have time for it?

I started learning at the end of November 2005 - so this is week 7 of proper learning.

Quoting x-man:

Tesekkur ediyorum and tesekkur ederim is no difference...just the tense is different but u can use both

Would TeşekkÃ¼r ederim not be more polite than TeşekkÃ¼r ediyorum as the first one is in the aorist tense?

Quoting erdinc:

Your second question is complicated. The consonant mutation rule is different for single syllable words and multiple syllable words. It is also different for originally Turkish words and adopted words. Certainly there are also exceptions.

I was under the impression that the consonant mutation rules just didn't apply at all to mono-syllabic words. But experience is suggesting differently, and not just for adopted words.

The one that has been confusing me greatly in recent times is 'eder' (aorist tense of 'etmek'). The 't' certainly mutates to 'd' despite having only a single syllable......

"I wish I had nothing to wish for"

That would be better
