Bugün zeytinlar ve kızarmış etmek kahvaltı ettim


"I had olives and toast for my breakfast today"

kızarmış etmek > should be : kızarmış ekmek

Sorry bod, there is a difference between languages. You are having breakfast while we DO (etmek) it.

Kahvaltı etmek: literally means to do breakfast thus the ile suits better.

Also like milk and beer va have seen before olives needs to be singular.

a. Bugün zeytin ve kızarmış ekmek ile kahvaltı ettim.
b. Bugün zeytin ve kızarmış ekmekle kahvaltı ettim.
c. Bugün kahvaltıda zeytin ve kızarmış ekmek yedim.

I think they are both very polite. To increase the meaning you can add çok in front.

qdemir's explanations are good.

Quote:

when to use "musun" and "misin" for making questions??


Easy.

-mı (use this after a,ı )
-mi (use this after e,i)
-mu (use this after o,u)
-mü (use this after ö,ü)


Example:
Yemek güzel mX?
what is X? The last vowel before it is "e" (the e in güzel) so we check the table and it says:
-mi (use this after e,i) and therefore we use "mi".
Yemek güzel mi?

Exercise:
Sen Ankara'ya gidiyor mXsXn?
Which one is it?
mısın
misin
musun
müsün

Hi bod,
we don't need to use the possessive adjectives (benim, senin, etc) if the stress is not on the possessive adjective itself.
Example:
Oyuncak ejderham kayboldu.
My toy dragon has got lost.

Here I'm not pointing to the fact that it was my toy dragon but I'm pointing to the fact that it got lost. On the other hand the following sentence is different:

"Fafna benim oyuncak ejderham."
"Fafna is my toy dragon."
Here I'm telling that it is mine. When you add the possessive subjective it will make it clear that it is mine or yours or its etc. and this sentence obviously is pointing to the fact that it is mine. In other words the toy dragon being mine is not just incidentially mentioned here but is the essence of the sentence.
Even when with a different translation the stress can more from mine to toy dragon still being mine is strong enough to be stated.
