Quoting Gölge

I think abla meant personal (what you are saying personal plural, onlar) and plural (kitaplar)..

 

anyway, lets dont go into too deep otherwise we may drown!

Quoting Abla

 

It must have something to do with the double life of LAR as a plural marker and as a personal ending.

 

LAR looks confusingly innocent but learners be warned it is not.

 

Actually it is only for plural. In personal endings, it makes "o" (he/she/it) plural as "onlar"

for "o" singular there is no personal ending in "geliyor" (he is coming), when we make plural we add "-lar" to non-exist third singular pronoun. and the result "geliyorlar" (they are coming)

"With the new investment, eBay now owns approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of GittiGidiyor."  as of 2011

 

I have learnt that ebay bought gittigidiyor. Last time i used gittigidiyor 3+ years ago. things changes rapidly.

" I almost had a heart attack because I thought the dog escaped "

Neredeyse kalp krizi geçirecektim, köpeğin kaçtığını zannettim.

no ebay in turkey, i heard that amazon will come soon.

 

http://www.gittigidiyor.com/ is a different turkish company, not ebay but the closest equivalent. lately they cooperate with ebay. that is why we see ebay logo in their website.

another major buying and selling website is: http://www.sahibinden.com/  this is  a mixture of ebay and craiglist.

 

only buying, not selling websites:

http://www.hepsiburada.com/ for everything.

http://www.kitapyurdu.com/ for books only.

Quoting si++

 

 

You are wrong, yavrum A.

 

Those who get on the bus/dolmuş/etc when it (the bus) is on the run are called "ördek". So they are collected on the roads not at the terminal.

 

I used to wait exit gate of the bus terminal and watch the city sign on the buses leaving terminal. When i see the city name i am waiting for, i stop the bus and ask if there is any available seats. If i dont find any seat in the first bus i find in the second one.

The advantage is waiting less than an hour. If i buy a ticket they keep me waiting a couple of hours in the terminal. And i dont have time to check all offices related to my target city to learn which bus is the first one. Luckily at least one bus moves to my city in every hour. Now I learnt that i am a typical duck!

onlar geliyordular,
onlar
geliyorlardı.

Although "geliyordular" is correct, "geliyorlardı" is more natural. Prefer "geliyorlardı"
