Quoting erdinc:

Hi bod. You are doing all right. I tried to make them simple but I see that some of them were a little too complicated.



Thank you!
You didn't make them too complicated at all......you didn't write them with the intention of anyone translating them! I just saw it as an opportunity

When erdinc started setting this exercise, not only did he produce something very useful but he also created a number of useful short phrases......

So I think I am going to have a go at translating a few - I am assuming they are all phrases and not just a random collection of words!!!

0 - Yeni kelimeler öğreniyorum.
I recently learnt some new words.

1 - Ben Türkçe konuşmayı çok seviyorum.
I very much like to talk in Turkish.

2 - Acaba sen Türkçe konuşmak istiyor musun?
Do you think you can speak Turkish?

3 - Çok okumak ve konuşmak lazım.
Speaking and writing are very important.

4 - Ben Türkiye'ye gitmek istiyorum.
I want to go to Turkey.

5 - Türkiye yazın çok sıcak oluyor.
Turkish summers are very hot.

6 - Oya oyun oynamaya gitti.
A game is being played.

7 - Bu okul öteki okula çok benziyor.
I move from one school to another.

8 - Sen nerede yaşıyorsun? İstanbul'da mı?
Don you live close by? Istanbul perhaps?

9 - İstanbul çok büyük bir şehirdir.
Istanbul is a very big city.

10 - Telefon çalıyor. Lütfen telefona bakın.
The telephone is ringing. Thank you for going to look at it.

Quoting Lindaxxx:

I wouldn't want to call a man 'beautiful' in English, so why would I want to do it in Turkish? Women are Beautiful and men are handsome easy!

Although men can be beautiful inside



My girlfriend often calls me beautiful!
(she is blind or deluded lol)

But, as you point out, beauty as we understand it in English goes beyond physical appearance!

Believe me bod, Türkish ladies can be very creative when it comes to terms of endearment.
