Bizimkilerin yardımı dokunamazdı, kendi bitmeyen ergenlikleriyle meşguldü onlar!

Our folks* could help either. They were too busy with their endless adolescence.

'Bizimkiler' means "our ones". It is unclear. It can be "our relatives", "our children", "our friends" etc.

You are welcome. I guess soon Dutch speakers will enjoy reading Füruzan as well.

Here are some links for those who want it in Turkish:

Olamaz sanıyordum
Böyle ani bir aşk
Üzerime çöktün birden
Güldüm, geçmişi unutuverdim

Varlığın eritiyor beni
Yanımda olmasan bile
Hayal gibiydi önceleri
Şimdiyse gerçek besbelli

My version:

Kırk hafta sadece oldu tanışalı
Hayatımda değişmedik şey kalmadı
Bu kısa zamanda sen oldun benim
Aşkım, hayatım ve herşeyim

Here is my version:


Sessizce, içten içe yanan bir hayat
Tekrar alevlere büründü
Yaşama gücü verdin bana
Bir de hiç sönmeyen bir sevgi

Birkaç Türkçe çocuk kitabı almak istiyorum.
Burada nerede bulabilirim?

Meltem already pointed to that detail but burada has the -da suffix (locative case suffix). Other cases are as follows:

nominative : burası : this place
dative : buraya : to this place
accusative : burayı : this place
locative: burada : in this place
ablative : buradan : from this place
genitive: buranın : this place's

Smillarly we have these below:

nominative : şurası : that place
dative : şuraya : to that place
accusative : şurayı : that place
locative: şurada : in that place
ablative : şuradan : from that place
genitive: şuranın : that place's

nominative : orası : that place
dative : oraya to that place
accusative : orayı : that place
locative: orada : in that place
ablative : oradan : from that place
genitive: oranın : that place's

Notice that şurası is prefered for visible distance while orası is prefered for invisible distance. When following the pattern nominatives should be 'bura', 'ora' and 'şura' but these are hardly used anymore.

Hi bod,
I bought this book recently for somebody else and I had a look on conjugations. There are no noun states. There are only tense conjugations for different persons for different tenses such a simple present, simple past, present continuous and a few more.

In other words, the book doesn't tell you that you have to use 'hoşlanmak' with -den and 'sevmek' with -i.

These kind details are recognised only by those who are actively involved in teaching or learning. Apparently the author wasn't one of those. It's just a simple book for verb conjugations.

Hi Bod,
In a situation like you describe I would use "selamlar" or "merhabalar" which sound friendy. Of course if it's already friends whom you are talking to then you could say "selam dostum, ne haber?" (hello mate, what's up?).
