Quoting Trudy:

I just had another lesson of Turkish. I learned about possisive suffixes like 'evim' and 'annem'. Also that kitapları has three meanings: his/her books (kitaplar + ı ), their book (kitap + ları ) and their books (kitap + ları, not twice lar because that's too much).

I forgot to ask my teacher so I do it here. Is this the same with the suffix -leri?

I mean, e.g. evleri, does that mean also: his/her houses (evler + i), their house (ev + leri) and their houses (ev + leri, not twice ler)?

I hope I made my question clear enough. Who can help me?

Quoting juliacernat: Quoting MrX67: i believe each union sort of trade,so sides of any union has to give from itself for get somethings from other side.But when one side wants more and more,thats turns an unjustical trade.we Turkish people so disguisting about when hear somethings about EU lately,coz our politicans using this matter as a political material while Eu countries doesn't like to see Turkey in this union.sure our country has some economical,social and democratical problems,but i believe that we can solve all this problems ourself without support of any union,we Turkish people used to live with national proud,and we never want to lost this proud for a few more Euro... I am sure that Turkey can solve its problems by itself; it is even easier when these problems are admitted the national pride cannot be taken/stolen from a nation, and at the EU's door it is not written, like in Dante's Infern: all those wanting to join, leave yor hopes/pride at the doorstep.... not at all. EU is an open door, but there are, indeed, conditions to enter .... no one forces no one inside, but if the answer before the open door is YES, then....there are rules to abide

If this looks familiar, its because I posted this last summer.


I want Turkey to join the EU but not at a cost of losing its Turkish identity and secularism.

5 years ago, joining the EU meant something. But now, look at the impoverished nations that have little to offer that have been granted entrance before Turkey. It disgusts me.

The Turkish economy is growing at over 7% without being in the EU. Turkey is not a begger that needs to get on its knees to join the EU.

Key items that are not negotiable for entry:
Secularism, Cyprus, PKK, Armenia and internal military operations.

As long as these items are not on the table, I welcome it.

i think turkey is good enough for joining to europen union but there is one big reason for not to accept it its a muslum country, at the moment the last subject was about it opining cyprus's airpots and seaports.
i would love joining to europen union because it will change all standarts of our life, our life standarts will be 5 times better than now!
i hope europe is cordial about making turkey a member of the uinon!
if you think of bulgaria, how has it become a member of it? it was worse than turkey on economical condation.. it wasnt better than turkey on any subjet but its in europe now!
