Quoting delimelek:

hi can someone help me....i want to say in turkish...

the road to a friends house is not long...

is ..bu dogru?

bir arkadaşin evi yolanda uzun değil...??

Ã§ok sağol...icin yardim

I am only a beginner and no matter how hard i try i cant seem to get the sentence structure right... :

the road: yol
the road to a friend's house: arkadaşın evinin yolu
(the road of the house of a friend)

(bir) Arkadaşın evinin yolu uzun değil.
You may use "bir", means "friend" or "a friend"<< "a"

In addition: in English "for" used before the object:
"for the help"
"for the car"
"for the house"

but in Turkish, it is "iÃ§in", and is used after the object:
yardım iÃ§in
araba iÃ§in
ev iÃ§in

"thanks for the help": yardım iÃ§in teşekkÃ¼rler or yardım iÃ§in sağ ol

Sentence order may be different like you think:
Ã§ok sağ ol yardım iÃ§in
But it is for spoken language, I think. I am not a master about that, but normally, it is not much formal. For example, you can see this form in a story while the sory is talking about a dialogue and one of the characters may use it.

Kolay gelsin!

Quoting gezbelle:

ah evet, yanlışım...

Ã§ok teşekkÃ¼rler caliptrix!

"yanlışım" is not a common usage
These are better:
"yanlış yazdım" or "yazmışım" << to write
"yanlış sÃ¶ylemişim" << to say

Don't worry about it, your writings that have good will make us feel beter

Quoting geeta:

wow thanx CANLI
you explained it in such a simple way.
Thank you

Pls someone help me for 'can you see how' addition as well. CANLI has already put her input. I tried it too but cant put them in the sentence. I get stuck there I dont know why!
:-S

Regards
Geeta

Let me show how to think this topic in Turkish
Bu konunun TÃ¼rkÃ§ede nasıl dÃ¼şÃ¼nÃ¼ldÃ¼ğÃ¼nÃ¼ gÃ¶stereyim.

I can see how to iron
Nasıl Ã¼tÃ¼ yapıldığını gÃ¶rebiliyorum

Can you tell how to fly?
Nasıl uÃ§ulduğunu sÃ¶yleyebilir misin? (or anlatabilir misin?)

Explain me how to be a good teacher!
Nasıl iyi bir Ã¶ğretmen olunduğunu aÃ§ıkla! << if you say directly "aÃ§ıkla" it would be a little rude, I prefer "aÃ§ıklar mısın?" as question type because it is kind form

I don't know how to say it.
Nasıl sÃ¶ylendiğini bilmiyorum.

By the way; all of them can be used in future tense too:

Bu konunun TÃ¼rkÃ§ede nasıl dÃ¼şÃ¼nÃ¼leceğini gÃ¶stereyim.

Nasıl Ã¼tÃ¼ yapılacağını gÃ¶rebiliyorum

Nasıl uÃ§ulacağını sÃ¶yleyebilir misin? (or anlatabilir misin?)

Nasıl iyi bir Ã¶ğretmen olunacağını aÃ§ıkla!

I hope they are helpful.
I admire your effort about Turkish study
Kolay gelsin

Quoting CANLI:

Ama bu bilmeceyi hallettin.

halletmek is some informal... and some unlcear... i mean not suitable for here.

maybe ok for "to solve the problem" sorunu Ã§Ã¶zmek:
sorunu halletmek but bilmeceyi Ã§Ã¶zmek is what we need.

Quoting CANLI:

Second one,i guess it can be like that,

But can you see how you solved this puzzle?
Ama bu bilmeceyi nasıl hallettin gÃ¶zebiliyor musun ?

Ama bu bilmecenin nasıl Ã§Ã¶zÃ¼ldÃ¼ğÃ¼nÃ¼ gÃ¶rebiliyor musun?

you can also use direct form(maybe not sutable for writings, I am not sure):
Ama, bu bilmece nasıl Ã§Ã¶zÃ¼lÃ¼r, gÃ¶rebiliyor musun?

Quoting geeta:

Hi friends
one more attempt from me pls check it

But you solved this puzzle.
My Turkish translation -
Ama sen bu bilmece Ã§Ã¶zdÃ¼n

ama sen bu bilmeceyi Ã§Ã¶zdÃ¼n

(I will say below about what CANLI wrote about it.)

Quoting geeta:

Also can you pls help me with the phrase â€˜can you see howâ€™ to be added in the above sentence i.e.
But can you see how you solved this puzzle?

Ama bu bilmecenin nasıl Ã§Ã¶zÃ¼ldÃ¼ğÃ¼nÃ¼ gÃ¶rebiliyor musun?
Red part is your "relative" clause like in "indirect speech"

He told me how to go to the cinema.
Bana sinemaya nasıl gidildiğini anlattı.

As you see, in these forms, we use passive voice.
active - passive
Ã§Ã¶zmek - Ã§Ã¶zÃ¼lmek - Ã§Ã¶zÃ¼ldÃ¼ğÃ¼
gitmek - gidilmek - gidildiği

the suffix -i/i/u/Ã¼ after these passive forms is the needed suffix for these verbs like: to see "gÃ¶rmek":
to see the car: arabayı gÃ¶rmek
to tell the truth: doğruyu sÃ¶ylemek
and the letter "n" between passive and -i suffix is a buffer for that type. "y" is the buffer for the normal examples(not passive voice).

Quoting geeta:

Well in my Turkish translation I have serious doubt abt the use of sen.
Can you tell me when to use â€˜senâ€™ in particular? I mean whenever the sentence is pertaining to the â€˜second person singularâ€™ we have to follow same rule as we use for ben? Like omitting ben and just adding the 1st sing suffix â€˜-im/umâ€™ etc.?

Regards
Geeta

No idea... I should ask to my friends

Quoting A.n.i.a:

I have such a words:
mi/mı/gÃ¶mlek/ayakkabı/var/pakette
How should the sentence look? Pakette gÃ¶mlek ayakkabı var mı? Where to put "mi"?

Pakette gÃ¶mlek mi var, ayakkabı mı?
Is there a shirt or a shoe in the package?

Quoting A.n.i.a:

I have sth like this:
Ben...... ne .......? - Bende ne var?
..................... - Bende kalem var.
Sen...... neler .......? - Sende neler var?
........................ - Sende kitapler var.
O........ ne .......? - Oda ne var?
..................... - Oda silgi var.

Is this correct?

Sende kitaplar var: because of the vowel harmony
Onda ne var?
Onda silgi var: for "o", we use onda:

o --> onda
bu --> bunda
şu --> şunda

Quoting A.n.i.a:

Ufff... learning turkish is hard

All different things seem hard at the beginning.

and what is "lof"?

Quoting Dilara:

Senden haber almadım. Tolga'ya gÃ¶nderdiğim mektup
aldın mı?

"senden haber almadım" soudns like "I dont want to hear anything from you, and i didn't receive" like "i am happy because of this situation".

but alamadım (i couldnt receive) makes sense.

and one more correction: "gÃ¶nderdiğim mektubu aldın mı?"
