Yes, kartal is right. Teşekkürler yardımınız için.

It means "before" because the "önce". Verbal adverbs are used together with normla adverbs to build adverbal clauses. There can be adverbal clauses of time, adverbal clauses of reason etc. I remember writing on this issue but I can' find it.

Anyway. Here are examples:

(Verb stem)-dikten sonra : after V-ing
(Verb stem)-meden önce : before V-ing

(Verb stem)-diğin için : because you V-ed
(Verb stem)-diğim için : because I V-ed
(Verb stem)-diği için : because he/she/it V-ed

(Verb stem)-diğin zaman : when you V-
(Verb stem)-diğim zaman : when I V-
(Verb stem)-diği zaman : when he/she/it V-

This is very good bod. This sentence is correct. Another option would be starting with "Nereden...?". They would be equal.

Türkçe, in this sentence is an adjective.

eski çocuk kitabı
ucuz çocuk kitabı
mavi çocuk kitabı
Türkçe çocuk kitabı

Quoting bod:

Going back to a sentence earlier in this thread:
Bugün çalışmak lazım
What is the predictate - is it lazım or is it çalışmak lazım?



Greetings Bod,
This is a noun sentence. The predicate in noun sentences is either a noun or from the noun familiy (adjective, pronoun, adverb, particle, conjunction, verbal noun, verbal adjective).

In this sentence the predicate is "lazım". We need to ask questions to the predicate to find the subject.

In verb sentences we ask the questions "who does?" or "what does?" to the predicate to find the subject.

Since this is a noun sentence we ask different questions.

In noun sentences we ask the questions "who is?" or "what is?".

Who is needed? What is needed?
-Çalışmak.
"Çalışmak" is the subject.

"Bugün" is complement.

So, yes, this time the order is different than usual:
Complement + Subject + Predicate

"Özne isim cümlelerinde oluşa konu olan, fiil cümlelerinde yapan, eden veya yaptıran unsurdur."

Quoting bod:


Birkaç Türkçe çocuk kitabı alabilirim nereden?
Is that correct?



Almost. The only problem is word order.

Yes, it is "belirtisiz isim tamlaması" (undefined noun modification).

There is a problem with "birkaç ... -lar".

Maybe we should have a language exchange forum. I'm not sure if there is enough interest though.

I always wanted to swap languages but I can't find a native French speaker in London who is also interested in learning Turkish and has experience in teaching a language.

Hi Bod,
You havebuild a good sentence. There are minor issues. it is not "birayı" as you are not talking about a particular beer but about any beer so we say "bira içmek".

In order of preference:

"Eğer varsa bir bira istiyorum"
"Eğer varsa bir bira içmek istiyorum"
"Eğer varsa şimdi bir bira içmek istiyorum"

Erem,
"Şimdi de" means "and now". It is more used when something follows something else.

Örnek 1: "Şimdi size bir şiir okuyacağım." (şiiri okur ve ardından konuşmaya şÃ¶yle devam eder) "Şimdi de bu şiirin anlamını konuşalım. "

Örnek 2: "Mazhar Fuat Özkan'dan bir şarkı dinledik. Şimdi de Fikret Kızılok söylüyor; 'Zaman Zaman'."

I have checked again and we have both the first and second poem and their translations in our website. Probably we have most or all of the rest as well.
