Quoting bod:

My dictionary has the following entry:

konuşan
[N] Talker
[A] Talking, Speaking, Spoken
[SUFF] Spoken

It is an example of how to use this as a suffix that I am looking for......

As you see, this is not a suffix, this is the root of the verb konuşmak

Hayat Ailesi'ne

I really wonder if we have to use an apostroph or not... and should we use the capital letter for "Ailesi"?

Quoting bod:

Thanks - but that doesn't really answer my question......
I am looking for an example of using the suffix -konuş

In this thread -ivek(mek) was used as a suffix. But I am not sure this is the same sort of usage!

At that link, there is no suffix such "-ivek". it is -ivermek

koşmak >> koşuvermek
gitmek >> gidivermek
dÃ¶nmek >> dÃ¶nÃ¼vermek
uÃ§mak >> uÃ§uvermek

I think there is no suffix like you said -konuş, i have never heard, or i couldnt remember for now. If you have an idea about it, or an example, maybe I can remember.

Quoting natiypuspi:

And 'Bir arabam varacak'? ....Is it ok? :-S

That is wrong, it must be bir arabam olacak

By the way, there is a verb varmak, so if you say: arabam varacak that means another thing, not "I will have"

Quoting Chrisfer:

I always had a hard time explaining the difference between the two words, and according to the dictionary, olmak in Turkish can mean both. So here are my guesses based on how I've seen it used:

Olmak in the past tense means become rather than be. For example:

Ã–ğretmen oldum.
I became an English teacher. As opposed to...

Ã–ğretmendim.
I was an English teacher.

Is this true?

They are ok.

Quoting Chrisfer:

But here's something else I've seen:

Ağır geldi sır buluta.

Does this mean that the secret made the cloud heavy? I think I've seen similar sentences where it seemed "adjective + past tense of gelmek" seemed to mean "become". Is this possible?

ağır gelmek: to make someone feel heavy(or maybe hard)

Bu Ã¶devler bana Ã§ok ağır geliyor
These homeworks are very hard for me.(they make me feel very hard)

it can be also: zor gelmek or reverse kolay gelmek

Bu iş Ahmet'e Ã§ok ağır geldi
This work was very hard for Ahmet ("It had felt very hard for Ahmet" or "It made Ahmet feel very hard)

Kolay gelsin
(I hope) your business (=work) will be easy

This is some different from olmak (become), but you may think like that...

Kolay gelsin
I hope your work become easy for you

Bu Ã¶devler bana Ã§ok ağır geliyor
These homeworks become very hard for me

Bu iş Ahmet'e ağır geldi
This work became hard for Ahmet.

By the way, in these sentences, there are no changing situation as "become"

"red" changed to >>> "black", so we say:
"red" became "black"

But zor geldi or ağır geldi doesnt have a meaning like a changing.

Your sentence:
Ağır geldi sır buluta.

Or in ordinary shape:
Sır buluta ağır geldi.
The mystery was heavy for cloud. (or became heavy, but no "changing from a type to another")

Quoting teenqueen:

Hi there

Can anyone please explain "beraat Kandil" in english

TSk

Beraat kandili is one of holy days in Islam.

Normally, its name is Beraat Gecesi (acquittal night). There are some holy days: MiraÃ§, Beraat, Regaib, Kadir, Mevlid. In these nights, muslims are advised to pray more, in Quran.

Normally, they are nights, and normally kandil means oil-lamp. That phrase get used to be used as night. It does not mean "oil-lamp" for here. It means "night" as a holy night.
