I realise that these are not native Turkish letters but, when used for imported words, do they all have a capital equivilent?

Ã¢ Ã© Ã® Ã»

If so, are they the same as the standard capital with the same symbol above them?

yes they are all right, number 1 says 'i want to open a few new threads', and baslik doesnt need to be plural because 'birkac' - a few - already shows its plural.

TeşekkÃ¼r!

Is lar/ler only used when it is not possible to infere more than one from the context?

"(Ben)Ã¼Ã§ kÃ¶peğimi besledim. Şimdi mutlular!"

TeşekkÃ¼r!

Quoting mltm:

KÃ¶peklerin mutlu. Bu yÃ¼zden ben de mutluyum KÃ¶pekleri ve kedileri Ã§ok severim. HiÃ§ kedin yok mu?

Before I answer in Turkish, let me check I understand:
"Your dogs are happy. Because of this I am also happy

I very much like dogs and cats. Do you not have any cats?"

You had me worried because I looked up "yÃ¼zden" and thought it might be derived from "yÃ¼zmek" - to skin (an animal)

In this thread ErdinÃ§ wrote "birkaÃ§ yeni başlık aÃ§mak istiyorum. Şimdi pratik yapmak Ã§ok kolay. Sen TÃ¼rkÃ§e Ã¶ğrenmek istiyor musun?" which I have been attempting to translate. It doesn't seem appropriate to post my attempts in that thread so I have started a new thread.

I am far from certain that I have the translations right and have several questions about this!

birkaÃ§ yeni başlık aÃ§mak istiyorum
"I want to open some new threads"

If I have got this right, why is it başlık and not başlıklar as it is plural?

Şimdi pratik yapmak Ã§ok kolay
"Now practice is very easy"

Sen TÃ¼rkÃ§e Ã¶ğrenmek istiyor musun?
"Do you want to learn Turkish?"

Am I somewhere close???

I've downloaded the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator tool and it works very well.......I have added the extra characters to AltGr (also Ctrl+Alt).

It all works fine in MS Word and within internet forms but doesn't seem to work properly in MSN Has anyone else had this problem???

If anyone wants it I can upload the installer package for the keyboard layout I have created to save you having to install the .NET framework that is needed to build the software package.

Quoting miss_ceyda:

when u put it like that.. i can see how u are confused although i believe its one of the things u just learn natrually from being in a TR environment..
i havent heard of any certain rule althugh if there is one i would like to know it too!

And there was me thinking that Turkish was totally logical and followed a of rules!!! Now I am finding that it is just as irregular as other languages
