Quoting lady in red

Dün çok güzel bir gün geçtim. Efe´nin köstümü onu mükemmelen uygun oldu ve onu giymeye seviyor. Ve, bugün ben kendıme kücük bir sürpriz aldım.

My try

I would use Lady in Reds version.

Quoting Ebbyru

Hi, can someone translate this for me, teşekkur ederim

"I had a great day yesterday, Efe´s costume fitted him perfectly and he loves wearing it. And got a little surprise of my own today"

thanks

I am a student and not a native speaker, but this is straight forward. It should be understood, even if it isn´t idomatically normal.

"Bir en çok güzel günu dünüm oldu. Efenin kostümü tamamen uydu ve gıydığı onu Efe sevıyor.

Bir az hayretım bügün aldım."

Quoting tinababy

I would like to buy the children a present each for when they start school - is there anything they need? Please let Sedat know and he can text me or I will call him. You must be looking forward to when they are all at school!!

Thanks in advance to all help!!

I am a student and note a native speaker, but this message is straightforward. My translation says that "I want to give a gift to each of the children". rather than buy. There is no single word for "to Buy", they say "satin almak" which means to get from a sale" and using those terms didn´t seem what you mean. Here is what i wrote:

"O zaman onlar okula gitiyorlar çocukları her biri hediye vermek istiyorum.
Onların için birşey lazım oluyorlar(ihtiyaclar var mı. Sedat´a söyle lütfen. Bana SMS verebilir yoksa onu
aracağım. O zamana onlar okulda gelıyor istemelısın."

Quoting parisisbeautifu:

I will like to know the full sentence for Â´Stuffed Peppers, Tomatoes, Eggplants with minced meat".

I know:
peppers is Biber
tomatoes is Domates
eggplant is Patlıcan
minced meat is etli or kıyma

But I donÂ´t know how to form the full sentence. I need to know so that I can put the correct name for this dish on my food blog, thanks!

Ok, I am a student and not a native speaker. This appears to be a "noncritical" tranlsation.

"dolmuş biber,domates, patlıcan etli."

They will figure it out.

Quoting mltm:

Quoting longinotti1:

" ask, again a reply I should (must) give
that I love you"

In fact, isnÂ´t it rather, "but if you want, ask me again, and let me reply again. I love you."

I say this is the best translation yet!

I am not a native speaker. This is my attempt.

I am (too) shy to talk with you. (Not literal but the only translation I can come up with)

Quoting mltm:

Quoting MarioninTurkey:

hanım (wife) .

in fact, itÂ´s "karı" even worse. Hanım is a politer one.

Agree. I hate the use of karım (unless it is a very old amca, who doesnÂ´t mean it that way), so couldnÂ´t even bring myself to write it!

My Ex-wifes name is "Carrie", so I could never use "karı" in the presence of my new wife, (or not in her presence).
I think it is "ironic".

Quoting Faruk:

Quoting longinotti1:

Would one say "Neden seni benimle kızıyorsın"?

also. "what did I say that made you so angry".

(I think I better learn these before I come to Turkey)

Why are you angry at me?
Neden bana kızgınsın?

What did I say that made you so angry?
Seni kızdıracak ne sÃ¶yledim?

You can make different sentences like above

Seni verb + (-ecek, -acak) + ne verb2 (past tense)

For example:

Seni Ã¼zecek ne yaptım?
What did I do that made you sad?

TeşekkÃ¼rler Faruk

Quoting MarioninTurkey:

Quoting mltm:

ItÂ´s not husband, itÂ´s "big" as deli translated.

Agree. The sense is "you would normally be frightened to be all alone in great big England, but IÂ´m here so you donÂ´t need to be afraid"

koca Ã¼lke: big country
koskoca Ã¼lke: great big country

Koca for husband comes from the idea that he is the big one for the family!! Shhh... donÂ´t let the feminists read this.

Wow, that why Seker told me to call my wife "eşim" and not "kocam".(some dictionaries say koca is spouse)
