Merhaba Arkadaşları!

I'd apprecıate very much your helpıng me to clarıfy the followıng
* ıf MAVI means blue and MAVILIM means my blue*eyed (boy or gırl)
where on earth are the words for 'eye' and 'boy' or 'gırl' ın MAVILIM? to mean 'My Blue*Eyed (boy or gırl)?

Thank you very much ın advance!
Ã‡ok TeşekkÃ¼ler!

if someone who has something blue in/on his/her, is you close friend or bf/gf or your doughter/son or little sister/brother etc., you can talk about hir/her az mavilim

mavi=blue
mavili=with blue
even a blue t-shirt for example:
the girl in blue t-shirt, you can say about her: mavili kız
or like you wrote, s/he has blue eyes, and for example for your son or you bf/gf etc.: mavilim.
my mavili

there is also a same meaning but different word: mavişelim

mavilim mavişelim
tehnada buluşalım

Quoting bod:

If olmak can be used in both future tense forms - is the same true for the past tense?

Example:
Could I say kuşlar oldu instead of kuşlar vardı?

no.

"there is/are" doesnt have fully same type in Turkish.
it is var olmak: exist
usually it is used to say the place:
burda kuşlar var there are birds here
or in English "have"(own)
iki kardeşim var: i have two sisters/brothers

but if you are talking about the future,
burda kuşlar olacak= there will be birds here
in this sentence "var" is hidden, you can also say burda kuşlar var olacak but it is strange usage for here.

and you cannot say kuşlar oldu instead of kuşlar vardı. it may have different meanings due to the sentence you put after/before it.
ilk gelen kuşlar oldu: the first that came were birds.
"kuşlar oldu" means something like(not exactly) "birds became the degree of maturity we expect"

so it is very different... hard to explain maybe... there are more sonfusing examples for you:

kuşlar vardı... there were birds
biz vardık... we existed(is it possible: there were us? i dont know)
partide kim vardı?... who were in the party?

Quoting bod:

I have seen these as past tense.......
vardı and oldu

Examples:
gece oldu - it was nightime.
kuşlar vardı - there were birds.

But can the same be applied to present and future tenses???

gece olecek - it will be night.
adınlık varacak - there will be light.

gece olacak
and yes, it is same for this example.
aydınlık olacak

they will be here= onlar burda olacak/burda olacaklar
there will be good things here= burda gÃ¼zel şeyler olacak

Quoting wakering:

I am still not completely clear as to the possitive and accusative suffixes of the following sentence or the sentence construction .What is most confusing me is that ne kadar is an adverb of quantity and not a noun following a noun
FRANSIZCANIN NE KARDARINI HATIRLIYORSUN ?
CALIPTRIX has given me many other examples of similar sentences which help but here again i am unclear as to why in the first sentence the ending for kardar is ini and in the second just i [the accusative case ].The examples he has given me are equally divided between the two types
Filmin ne kadarini uzledin
Arabanin ne kadari gÃ¼zel
I am in need of further help on this one as the 4 grammar books i have got do not deal with this point only the noun followed by a noun construction
Thanks

root is "birşeyin ne kadarı" means nearly:"how much of something"

and the difference between the sentences you asked is not linked with the "ne kadar". It is about the behaviour of the verb.
filmin ne kadarı/izlemek
izlemek is watch, birşey+i izlemek (accusative)
filmin ne kadarını izledin?
In this example, n is needed to say accusative vowel after the vowel ı

and the other example:
arabanın ne kadarı gÃ¼zel?
arabanın ne kadarı/gÃ¼zel olmak
gÃ¼zel olmak: to be beautiful
here arabanın ne kadarı is subject, so it doesnt need a suffix, because it is not accusative here.
in the previous example, filmin ne kadarını izledin the last n refers the subject, it is "sen"(you).

If the form of translation is right:

how much of the film did you watch?
how much of the car is beautiful?
