Thread: how can i say ?

Quoting _Canlı:

How can we say Turkish food ,Turkish media,Turkish TV ?



These are noun modifications (isim tamlaması ) . It is a noun modification when we use two words to describe one object.
Example:
"bus stop" = "otobüs durağı"
Notice that this is different than compound nouns.

The noun modification suffix is this:

-ı, -i, -u, -ü

You add the " s " buffer if this suffix is to be added after a vowel. Two vowels don't come next to each other. So we need to put a buffer letter inbetween. The noun modification suffix takes always the buffer "s". We have three buffers "y, s, n"

Let me formulate this.

1. To make a noun modification you add "-ı, -i, -u, -ü, " to the second noun if it ends with a consonant.

2. You add "-s" inbetween if the second noun ends with a vowel.

3. You use the -ı version if the second noun's last vowel is "ı or a".

4. You use the -i version if the second noun's last vowel is "i or e".

5. You use the -u version if the second noun's last vowel is "u or o".

6. You use the -ü version if the second noun's last vowel is "ü or ö".

Examples:
Türk + televizyon > Türk televizyonu
Here we have used the -u version because the last vowel in 'televizyon' is 'o' (rule #5).
We haven't put the s buffer because 'televizyon' ends with a consonant (rule #2).

Türk + ekmek > Türk ekmeği
Here we have used the -i version because the last vowel in 'ekmek' is 'e' (rule #4) .
We haven't put the s buffer because 'ekmek' ends with a consonant (rule #2).
We have changed k to ğ according consonant mutation rules.

Türk + medya > Türk medyası
Here we have used the -ı version because the last vowel in 'medya' is 'a' (rule #3) .
We have put the s buffer because 'medya' ends with a vowel (rule #2).

Any other questions?




Thread: A Few Translations (Turkish - English)

Erem's English is really perfect, isn't it? If I had done the translations I would probably miss the term 'afterlife'. Also, I would never come to the idea to use a phrase such as "you'll come to understand".
If I were able to translate so smooth, so easily and so fluent, I would do nothing but translations all day, every day.

Quoting Erem:

seni obur dunyada gorurum artik hayatim beni hic unutma prensesim.
I guess I'll have to see you in the afterlife then, never forget me my princess.

oburki dunyada kavusmayi bekliyecam hayatim benim , seni seviyorum sonsuza kadar bitanem bir gun anlarsin nekadar sevdimi seni
I'll be awaiting our reunion in the afterlife my love, I love you for ever, one day you'll come to understand just how much ..

Quoting ~Kerri~:

Gidiyorum Türkçe ö?renmek.
I am going to learn turkish. ..?



"I am going to Istanbul. "
"I am going to visit Istanbul. "

"Going", in the the first sentence is a normal verb and means to move from one place to another. In the second sentence it is past of Future Tense that is build with "be going to". As you see "going" has two different usages. "Gitmek" in Turkish is not like this. It is a normal verb and means 'to move from one place to another'.

For future tense we have the future tense suffixes -ecek and -acak.

Türkçe öğreneceğim.
I will learn Turkish.

Merhaba Canlı,
number 3 and 8 are almost correct but the sentences have a different order of words.

3. Ayşe nerede uçtu?
Ayşe havada uçtu
8. Uçakta kim vardı?
Uçakta Pilot vardı

"Çünkü,Ayşe bir ses duydu. " is correct.

When you open the this page and go to the exercise page which is the last page, you will find the correct answers to the questions as well.

This is impossible. Sooner or later they will catch those people. On every occasion Turkish men are asked to prove their military status. If you haven't done it, then you can never travel abroad, you can never register to a university and you will find it very difficult to find an employer who doesn't question your military service status.

The army is very strict on following their regulations, even more strict than I am on following our forum rules.

back to the topic...

i have heard that it is no longer compulsory to do the military in turkey.
