kıskançlık - jealousy

hıyar = blockhead; freedom of choice

Also does it not mean a selfish person? as well as cucumber?

 It means cucumber, but not a selfish person, as far as I´m aware.

someone useless it reminds me a friend of mine

yaaaaaay!!

Im learning so many new words thx to this thread and that turkish online tutor site its awesome!

(the only problem is memorizing )

heres one from the TT(turkish tutor)

başüstüne>> with pleasure  

Another couple of words!!!

hayrola>>>> whats the matter?   (sounds soo arabic ! man its freaky!)

eyvah>>>>> alas   

(whats freaky about this is that we always say eyvah, but of course eywah, but we also use it for the meaning of yes {egyptians only})

aşağıda>>>> downstairs (before i heard the pronunciation, it looked so hard!!!)

nefes nefese>>>> out of breath

terbiyesiz>>> ill bred, rude

i know what they mean! we have an exact equivalent for this word

i know a couple of people ill keep saying this to !!

useful word

but they might understand coz terbiye means the same in arabic :S

but ill take my chance

 There is a fun thing about the opposite: terbiyeli: well-mannered.

Have you had terbiyeli kebap?  It doesn´t mean that the kebap is polite and says "thank you for inviting me to your dinner table"!  It means done in a sauce.

Maybe the Turks think that when my mum taught me to say "please" and "thank you" she was cooking me in a sauce?

Funny, ´cos to us "sauce" means cheek, and "saucy" means cheeky i.e. rude!

merhaba to all of you!
