-miş: i heard it from someone, i have not personally witnessed it.

John gelmiş. : john came but i havent seen him coming, a friend told me or i saw the records from security cam etc.

John geldi : John came and i personally saw his coming.

 

like present perfect and past perfect, if i want to tell something used -miş at that time in the past, yesterday or a week ago; i use -mişti. (-miş and -di together)

john gelmişti. : John had come / John came : I personally not witnessed him and all that is now in the past.

 

the explanation is my own and may include wrong stuff. someone else can do a better exp.

kelimeler: words

sözler: sayings

 

kelime: means part of sentence seperated by single space, in turkish.

söz: means complete sentence in turkish emphasizing the meaning.

cümle: means sentence emphasizing the grammatical structure.

 

Kelimeler / sözler uçar gider, eylemler kalır.

Words fly away, actions will remain.

Thread: The Best Cellphone Operator in Turkey Help

Best: Turkcell (The most coverage)

Cheapest: PTT Cell (Based on Avea, being sold on PTT stores)

I used pttcell for three years, now moved to turkcell for better 3G service. It is very easy to move between operators keeping the same phone number. Firstly i got avea, keeping the same number i moved to pttcell, and now turkcell.

In rural areas; avea based operators have problems for coverage. In city centers there is no difference except internet speed.

I am studying ottoman turkish, too.

if you are foreign to turkish; first of all, learn modern turkish well enough.

 

even if it is described as mixture of turkish, arabic, persian; it is not exactly like that. we should look at the grammar and vocabulary influence. Ottoman era official turkish is slightly influenced by persian vocabulary and heavily influenced by arabic vocabulary. in grammar point, influenced by some arabic grammar, especially plural forms but not much influenced by persian. So, knowing some arabic would be a great plus. Ottoman turkish build on turkish sentence structure and grammar rules, so it is same as modern turkish but differs on vocabulary point.

 

after learning modern turkish, learn ottoman alphabet. ottoman alphabet is very similar to persian alphabet today, with some additional letters for turkish. after alphabet, learn dictation rules for ottoman. You can learn most common persian and arabic words in ottoman turkish texts while studying, you dont have to know persian or arabic directly.

 

there is not one standart ottoman turkish by looking at loan words. the language of daily usage exactly the same as today, the only difference is it is written in a different alphabet. but officials, poets etc. used heavliy influenced ottoman turkish. You will come accross both while studying.

turkish people say it as "et" , similar with the pronunciation of "at" (æt) in english, just written in turkish way. if you have to describe it you can say: etrafında yuvarlak olan a, süslü a, eposta a´sı
