Quoting Joey:

Quoting illusion:

I've a slight correction:
"Gözlerinizden öperim" would most often be used said from the older friend to the younger.



Must be a cultural thing but I would not risk saying the above expression to one of my mates



It is a cultural thing. It's all cultural. You probably would not walk down the street holding hands with a close male friend either, but in Turkey you could.

Quoting Roswitha:

Come, come, come again whoever you are,

An unbeliever, a fire-worshipper, come,

Our convent is not of desperation,

Even if you have broken your vows hundred times,

Come, come, come again


Gel, gel ne olursan ol, yeni gel.
Kafir, putpurest, Mecusi olsan da yeni gel.
Besim dergah'miz, ümitsizlizlik bir dergahi değildir.
Yüz kere tövbeni bozmuş olsan yeni gel.

Mevlana

Quoting metehan2001:

Quoting bod:

But how would you address a formal letter to a company where you don't know the name of the person.......for example a written letter to an insurance company.

Would you start such a letter:
Sayın bay
???



You can start it as follow,

Sayın Ahmet (surname),



Evet, but if she doesn't know the name(s) of the person:
how about "Sayın Efendi"

Quoting illusion:

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely
is made for the eyes of one who sees.

Mevlana Mathnawi I 2383


Yani "Güzele bakmak Sevaptır" acaba?



'Güzel'i, güzel olan görür. /The beautiful ones can only see the beauties
'Güzel'den ancak güzel anlar. /The beautiful ones can only
recognize the worth of beauties.



Bu Mevlanadan yoksa atasöz?

Yoksa,

(Only) a beautiful person can see beauty.
Therefore beauty learns from the beautiful ?

And the younger friend can say to the older one:
'Ellerinizden öperim/öpüyorum".
