"why do you want to speak to me again? We finished and it was very bad."

This is unclear both in English and in Turkish. It could mean that "your relationship was bad and therefore you finished it" but it also can mean "finishing your relationship was very bad".

I think the line tells exactly the opposite you want to say.

" There is nothing you can't achieve that is achievable. Failure only means that you didn't wan't something strong enough. "
This was a line from the French movie "The Hairdresser's Husband."

MrX67,
May I suggest starting threads in right forums.

I would suggest using the first ones. There are slight differences which would be too much detail to discuss here.

Oceanmavi,
They are all correct. Well done.

Hi fish,
You did very well on this. Congratulations.

Number 6 and 7 have a question suffixes which means they are yes/no questions. In English we build these kind questions by using 'am', 'is', 'are' at the beginning. These kind questions are asking for approval or rejection rather than information. Therefore for both 6 and 7 the answer could be "evet, gördü" (yes, she saw) or if you prefer the full versions "Evet, Ayşe insanlar gördü" and "Evet, Ayşe evler gördü."

In this story I have used some simple suffixes such as -da and -lar. Readers will recognise them better when doing some dictionary work with the vocabulary section at the end of the story.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the simple grammar used in this story. Regards,

Yes that website is good but unfortunately it is a commercial website and requires you to get a paid membership to access to some sections.

Long time ago Turkishonline.com was the leading website on Turkish as a foreign language but now it has dropped to second rank since a free website that you know well has taken the lead.

As I said it is a good website but there are tiny mistakes as well. I had a quick look on that particular dialogue that was linked to.

"Biraz da üzüm almak isterim."
This sentence is incorrect. It should be:
"Biraz da üzüm almak istiyorum."

The poem on Meltem's post is my favorite poem of Cahit Külebi as well. I have added it to our poems section.

I wrote this line on another forum a while ago. I don't think I have read it somewhere else:

"Kendilerinde kusur bulamakta zorlanan insanlar başkalarında kusur bulmakta hiç zorlanmazlar."
"People who have difficulty on finding a fault on themselves find it very easy when it comes to others."
