Very nice, in the video is that the inside of Hagia Sofia?

I don't live in İstanbul, and I didn't know it much, but I think so.

Quoting Kaycee-x:

Why Is The Ending Not "im" Instead Of "Ã¼m"

Someone Has Probably Explained This Already but Im Clearly Stupid

NO, you are not stupid!
You are just some lazy like me. lol

Look at the left part of this site, this page. You will see "Learn Turkish" link. Then, a new menu will expand. try to read the lessons. It is about "VOWEL HARMONY" in Qdemir Lessons part.

Quoting loo_^^:

The time is getting nearer but the waiting is getting harder

Zaman yaklaşıyor fakat beklemek zorlaşıyor.

İn Turkish get adjective+er =laş or leş

if the last vowel of the word is back vowel a,ı,o,u it must be laş
if the last vowel of the word is front vowel a,i,Ã¶,Ã¼ it must be leş

gÃ¼zelleştik= we got more beautiful

zaman=time
yakın=near
hard=zor

here is not editing for messages in this forum so i had to write new message.

In the sentence above "yakın" must drop its own last syllable to turn into "yaklaşıyor"? İ got little confuse... sorry.

I think it is a different verb. yakınlaşmak means also yaklaşmak. But yakınlaşmak is generally as physical things. For example araba yaklaşıyor=araba yakınlaşıyor(car is getting closer). But for "time", it is weird.

Quoting TeresaJana:

hmm so adding suffix 'tu' to end of the verb means 'was'

if it was the present tense...it is too small...would you then not add the suffix?

You don't need to add anything.

Ceket Ã§ok kÃ¼Ã§Ã¼k.
Araban Ã§ok gÃ¼zel.
Evimiz yeni.
Yemek sıcak.

If they were past, they would be:
Ceket Ã§ok kÃ¼Ã§Ã¼ktÃ¼.
Araban Ã§ok gÃ¼zeldi.
Evimiz yeniydi. (y is the buffer)
yemek sıcaktı.

Quoting caliptrix:

On the other hand, if you use "geÃ§ gelmek" it means "to come late" as a usual sentence, but if you use "geÃ§ kalmak", it is some specific usage. It is used as bir yere/bir şeye geÃ§ kalmak.

So you can't use "geÃ§ kalmak" by itself, is that it? I can't just say "GeÃ§ kaldım" but always have to specify it with a place, eg: "sinemaya geÃ§ kaldım"?

Yes, you can, if what you are talkng about is clear.

Quoting turquoise:

'hareketli olmak iÃ§in iyi bir gÃ¼n' or 'canlı olmak iÃ§in iyi bir gÃ¼n'

I think hareketli is not the suitable word for "alive"
The best translation for me is:

Yaşamak iÃ§in gÃ¼zel bir gÃ¼n.
directly: It is a nice day to live

Quoting longinotti1:

Seni geÃ§tin icin, Biz Ã§ikdik. (or maybe)
Seni geÃ§ geldiginiz icin, Biz Ã§ikdik.

Because you were late, we left.

I'm not sure if iÃ§in is the best word to use with the first one:
Ã‡ıktık, (Ã§Ã¼nkÃ¼) geÃ§ kaldın (2nd pers. sing.)

Second one:
(Sizin) geÃ§ kaldığınız iÃ§in, (biz) Ã§ıktık. (2nd pers. pl.)
(Senin) geÃ§ kaldığın iÃ§in, (biz) Ã§ıktık. (2st pers. sing.)

It is not sizin. It doesn't have possesive suffix. -dık + [iÃ§in] sentences are established by pronouns.

Sen gitmediğin iÃ§in biz de gitmedik.
As (because, since) you didn't come, we didn't go either.

Siz geÃ§ geldiğiniz iÃ§in biz Ã§ıktık.

On the other hand, if you use "geÃ§ gelmek" it means "to come late" as a usual sentence, but if you use "geÃ§ kalmak", it is some specific usage. It is used as bir yere/bir şeye geÃ§ kalmak.

Biz burada olmadığımız iÃ§in sizi gÃ¶rmedik
Since we were not here, we couldn't have seen you.
