In fact, the reason is not because they are from Arabic. The reason is the pronunciation of the last syllable.

For example: kitap is from Arabic too, but suffixes are suitable to vowel harmony: kitaplAr

Look at "saat"s lat syllable. it is "at". normally there is another word "at" (horse). It's pronunciation has a bass voice "a". But "saat"s last syllable "at" has a treble voice as "a" like a letter between "a" and "e". So, you have to add the suffixes as if the last syllable is "e".

Quoting MalatyaGirl:

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two?

Kendine iyi bak and Kendine dikkat et (name).

Do they both mean the same thing?

Thanks Forum! x



They can be used for same thing but there is a little difference as usage:

"Kendine iyi bak" is generally a "bye" sentence, and a wish.

"Kendine dikkat et" is told a person who is sick or who can be sick because of his bad-living conditions. For example; your friend has a little headache because he is working in the sunshine all the day, so you can advice him to be careful about himself: "Kendine dikkat et!".

"dikkat etmek" is a verb which means "to watch out"
"bakmak" means here "look after", like a babysitter looks after a baby, "kendine iyi bak" means "look after yourself well"

Quoting Peace:

Need this translated. I would appreciate someones help.

cnm nbr nasilsin? gunlerin nasil geciyor konusamiyoruz ne zamandir merak ettim seni. BEn belki yakinda gelirim ama daha belli degil bakalim insallah gelebilirim. Seninle tanismayida isterim geldigimde musait olursan. GElirsem eylul ekim gibi dusunuyorum insallah gelirim cok istiyorummm.



My love, how's things, how are you? How are your days passing? When we don't speak I worry about you. I am maybe near to coming but more definitely not. Let's see - god willing I will be able to come. I want to meet with you (when my coming is convenient???). I think I will come in September or October god willing. I want to come very much.

My attempt for practice for me! Wait for better one.



this is wrong I guess:
...when we dont speak I worry about...

because after "ne zamandır", there must be a coma.
"konuşamıyoruz ne zamandır." = how long time couldn't we talk... "very long time", it is not a question

müsait olursan: if you will be ok/be suitable/have time

nice translation

It is interesting. It doesn't make sense. I don't know something like that.

It's strange. She has no accent! Maybe she's a macedonian turk??



Maybe she is. I don't know yet. Her family may come from a Turkish family, but generally the competitors are chosen from those who are not Turkish (whose mom and dad are not Turkish directly). You can see the names of finalists here:
