...wine...and beer. Germans like beer. Juice for children {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}

 

Yessss

I think wine would be fine, and there are no kids around so no need for juice

 

I think rakı might be too heavy for them ( I cannot also drink it {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast})

 

Do you like Ayran?

Should I make some?

What i saw in the house i worked for 3 years in Ankara ( they were mudur both) they used to make this for dinner : meze the bought from Carrefour...olives..borek, american salatasi.. sometimes also ansoa.. acilik...you can buy them. Then made at owen or fish..or chicken...if was warm made mangal with that meat on the stick... as garniture you can chose. Wine and sweets. Its not big deal. Most of the food you buy it. Just the meat you make it home.

 

Thanks!

I can´t buy börek or many typical Turkish side dishes unfortunately since I am not in Turkey

But I will try to do some börek

Loads of Turkish dishes I like but I have no idea if they´re difficult to make. Suggestions? Sigara böreği, Adana kebab, Işkender kebab, Ezogelin çorba, lahmacun and several delicious desserts as künefe, kadayıf or Kemal paşa tatlısı. There is also a dessert made of pumpkin but I forgot the name.

 

hmmmm thanks

ok just suggest things, I will skip anyway if it is too difficult

 

İskender kebap is something we never make at home... Also lahmacun almost never...

 

I am planning to make some börek,maybe sigara böreği, or some muska böreği... I think everyone likes them

Ezogelin or mercimek soups are also fine, right? 

 

The desert from pumpkin is called kabak tatlısı by the way. mmm I love it

  Im romanian and i can say that if im invited to dinner at a turkish familly i prefer eating turkish food and not what im eating everyday home or in my country. I only dont like turkish pilav .

 Of course i think you will not serve them food made with pork even if they like it {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}

 

Thanks but are there any Turkish food you like and you can advise me to cook ?

 

Of course I won´t serve pork to Germans, they eat it every single day {#emotions_dlg.lol}

"a´´ from ´´can´´ is pronounced like ´´u´´ from ´´up´´

Quoting turkaturk

 

 

Reyhan, you are confusing me. {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

 

I think in English the translation of "ip/ıp/up/üp" can be "and", but the activities used with this suffix don´t happen in the same time but one after another. At least my teacher said so. I think you and me are both right, but I am waiting for somebody to reassure this.


Examples:

Kadın elmayı soyup yiyor.

Odanın içinde yer bulup oturdu.

Kahvaltı yapıp evden çıktım.

Lütfen randevu alıp gelin.

Lokantaya gidip film izledik.

Ödev yapıp ailemle konuştum.

Elma yiyip kahvaltı yaptım.

Dersi bitirip Ankara´ya gittik.

Futbol oynayıp duş aldım.

Hırsız genç kızın çantasını kapıp kaçtı.

 

What do you think?

 

Here is a native that wants to help you

 

It is mostly used when one thing is happening after another. However in this case you also use "and " in English, not always "then"

 

e.g.: Kahvaltı yapıp evden çıktım. I had breakfast and left home. OR I had breakfast and then left home . (even if you don´t use"then", you know breakfast was the first action)

You can also understand that two things are not happening at the same time if you swtich the position of "-ip"

i.e.: Evden çıkıp kahvaltı yaptım. I left home and (then) had breakfast. (obviously I did not have my breakfast at home)

 

The thing confusing you is that we also sometimes use it for spontaneous actions!

Although "-erek, -arak" is more suitable in this situation, "-ip" is also used!

e.g.: Mısır yiyip film seyrettik. We watched a movie while eating popcorn./We watched a movie and ate popcorn.

OR

Mısır yiyerek film seyrettik.

Hello everyone!

 

I would like to ask for your opinions:

 

As you may know, I am Turkish. I invited friends for dinner tomorrow, who are from Serbia, Germany and Ecuador (so we have a mixed population ) . I don´t know what to cook so I need ideas something(s) that everyone will like (well, actually most Turkish foods are loved but anyway , and could be counted as traditional Turkish. Since most of you are foreigners who are some how related Turkish culture I think you are the right people to ask

 

p.s.: don´t advise too difficult things like sarma; I am just a student Actually I have good culinary skills but I don´t have too much time.

nihat is an Arabic origined name used also commonly in Turkey and means "temper".

Nihat is not the male version of Nihal. I don´t think they are related. 

 

Nahla is an Arabic name and I have never ever heard that it is used in Turkey. With curiosity, I searched the name on Facebook and didn´t find any Turkish users

We don´t use apostrophe for language names.

Türkçede,Türkçeyi,Türkçenin, etc.

 

It is not about language names, it is about the words made with "yapım eki":

 

Özel adlara getirilen yapım ekleri, çokluk eki ve bunlardan sonra gelen diğer ekler kesmeyle ayrılmaz: Türklük, Türkleşmek, Türkçü, Türkçülük, Türkçe, Müslümanlık, Hristiyanlık, Avrupalı, Avrupalılaşmak, Aydınlı, Konyalı, Bursalı, Ahmetler, Mehmetler, Yakup Kadriler, Türklerin, Türklüğün, Türkleşmekte, Türkçenin, Müslümanlıkta, Hollandalıdan, Hristiyanlıktan, Atatürkçülüğün. (from tdk)

 

i.e.

The derivational affixes ,plural suffixes, and other suffixes added after them, are NOT separated with an apostrophe from any private name.
