Quoting Malerwinkel:

Yediğim biber Ã§ok acıdı. (The pepper I ate was very hot.)

In my humble opinion it should be "acıYdı".
"Y" is a buffer between an adjective ending in a vowel and the past tense endings.

I didn't know that - sounds better.
Thanks!

In fact, it is not "sounds better". It is how it has to be.

If you say "acıdı", it means "it hurt"
acımak: to hurt
acıdı: past form

"acıydı" is "it was hot/bitter"
acı: hot
acı+idi= acıydı (buffer "y" needed)

1. Sonraya bıraktım yazmayı bir mektupu. Sonunda onu yazmaktayım.

BU MEKTUBU YAZMAYI SONRAYA BIRAKMISTIM. SIMDI DE ONU YAZIYORUM.

I need to go back and review the uses of the -mış form (and a lot more besides that).

Is the 'şimdide' here spellt together as one word? Does it convey the English present continuous here? Or is there something else going on here?

Here, "şimdi de" is like "....(I did this and that and bla bla), and now.." -> you are talking about the chain of actions. And you say, for example "and now I am going...":"şimdi de gidiyorum"

de is not together. de could be together only when it means "in/inside/within/at/on" preposition as place/time/date.

Hello classmates, once again I need your help to find the turkish equivalent of these english verbs, simdiden tesekkurler!!

Disfigure (physically) biÃ§imini bozmak, Ã§irkinleştirmek.
Distort (the true , the facts etc) Ã§arpıtmak, saptırmak (doğruları, gerÃ§ekleri gibi)
Waste an opportunity bir fırsatı harcamak.
Miss a chance bir şansı kaÃ§ırmak
Decipher şifreyi Ã§Ã¶zmek, deşifre etmek.
Figure out halletmek, Ã§Ã¶zmek
Donate bağışlamak, hibe etmek (para-money)
Take drug ilaÃ§ almak
Bend over kıvırmak, bÃ¼kÃ¼lmek
Surrender teslim etmek, teslim olmak.
Denounce ihbar etmek
Refuse reddetmek

THANKS A LOT!
Dilara.

I have some different ideas;
miss a chance: "fırsatı kaÃ§ırmak". But it can be : "şansı elinden kaÃ§ırmak" and also: "fırsatı elinden kaÃ§ırmak" as well.

waste an opportunity: "bir fırsatı boşa harcamak"

donate: "bağış yapmak" sounds better for me, bağışlamak or hibe etmek could be ok but you have to say what you give as material. as example: "bir kitap bağışladı" he gave a book as donation. You can't say only "bağışlamak", but you can say "bağış yapmak" itself, and also by saying the amount of money.
