Quoting MarioninTurkey

 

 

 Also "In a catch 22 situation" - comes from the book titled Catch 22

or "Hobson´s choice" from the play, where Hobson had to choose between all the town knowing he was a drunk, and letting his daughter marry the man she wanted to (he disapproved)

Catch 22 is one of the best novels I read. I laughed a lot while I was reading it.

 Quoted from Daydreamer´s post:

It´s easy to complain about terrible Europeans hating Islam. But it isn´;t so. Europe should stand against everything that may kill its secularism, human rights and equality regardless of whether it´s Islam, Catholicism or Marxism. In other words, everybody should be free to pray to whomever they want either in the privacy of their own house or in a place of religious cult like mosque, church or synagogue, but nowhere else. And religious rules should always be inferior to national laws.



As a believer I agree. Fanatism is not only taking aim at atheists but also at believers. There are many sects of each religion which declare others as infidels. And they all interpret holly books so differently. Only solution seems like secularism. Give any beautiful belief or humanist philosophy to the crowd, they will change it in no time something monsterous. I blamed religions for the blood shed for their sakes in the world, long time ago but now I understand it is human nature to blame. There is a very thin line seperates most of the people from the level of an animal. It is not important if they are atheist or believer, blood always attracts them.

Thank you so much Can you please explain the meaning of these 3 sentences a bit more ..? He says his lover that he loves her 

Yasak aşkındır beni yaşatan göz bebeğim..

It is your forbidden love that keeps me alive,my pupil (my dear) ...

Her an korkuyla bulsak da birbirimizi

Even though,at any moment we find eachother within fear

Doymuyorum, doyamıyorum hep özlüyorum seni..

I am not satiated(I am not satisfied),I can´t satiated, I miss you all the time..

Quoting tomac

 

 

However, there is "bir yaz mevsimi", not "meyve" in original sentence. Could it be translated like this? (learner´s try)

 

ama yokluğu da güneşsiz bir yaz mevsimi gibidir

But his absence is also like a summer (season) with no sun

içini karartır (I think it is iç-in-i ?)

It darkens your soul.

 

correct.

Quoting tunci

 

 I haven"t been studying = Çalışmıyordum or Çalışmamaktaydım

 

 

 

Here it says that present perfect tense is used for actions which started at past and still going on. We don´t have such a tense and we use present continious tense instead of it. So translation must be like this:

"çalışmıyorum" or "çalışmamaktayım".

 

If I am wrong please explain my mistake.I am not very good at grammar. Have a nice day.

Quoting daisiek

 

 

okays ,i will. What do you mean by learn his red lines in a relationship? He is a student studying in the netherlands but he is from Turkey.

is that good news? He is 20 and I am 21.

should I still message him and ask him if is truly serious? I just cant imagine someone wanting to have a relationship with me ( long distance) when there are so many beautiful girl or women over therer? idk ?{#emotions_dlg.sad}

By red lines I mean the limits of his tolerance. He can be too conservative or too jealous. This can cause problems in the future. Studying in Netherlands is good news. At least he has a purpose other than meeting with a foreign woman for her money or for citizenship.(a possibility) There is no big age difference between you. It is also good news. You say there are a lot of beautiful girls in Turkey and why he wants to be with you. As a Turkish man my answer is being beautiful is not the only factor for every man. There are other factors like kindness, helpfulness, smartness, etc... As i told before, only time can show if he is serious or not. So keep chatting with him. Bye.

Don´t be hasty. Give it time and try to know him better. Try to learn his red lines in a relationship. Don´t trust him quickly. Ask him if he has a decent job(teacher, doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc..). If he has, it can be considered as good news. If he lives in a holiday village be more careful. Men in Turkey can be very deceiving, if there is a lot of age difference between you, you should be extra cautious.
