Quoting TeresaJana:

wish you to have a good day
o umarsin iyi gun

I think this is really "You always wish HE,SHE, or IT, a good day.".

My attempt is:
"Ben Seni iyi gu:n, umarim"

But actually I think "iyi gu:nler" is the expression Turks really use. (Its 10am in Turkey, maybe in 6 or 7 hours the native speakers can answer).

Buraya NasyÂ´l Ãœye Olurum ?
Siteye Ã¼ye olabilmeniz iÃ§in bazyÂ´ dier sitelere gÃ¶re farklyÂ´ Ã¶zellikler vardyÂ´r.Herkes sisteme Ã¼ye olamyÂ´yor ne yazyÂ´kki.Ãœye olabilmeniz iÃ§in
birinin sizi davet etmesi gerekiyor.

Hmmm Limonata nasyÂ´l bireye benziyor ?
Evet. Bu sitenin amacyÂ´ arkadaÃ§a muhabbettir. AmacyÂ´myÂ´z sadece birbirini tanyÂ´yan insanlaryÂ´n bir arada olduu bir topluluk kurmaktyÂ´r.

Dier FarklaryÂ´ Nelerdir ?
Limonata'yÂ´n en Ã¶nemli farkyÂ´ herkesin sisteme Ã¼ye olamamasyÂ´dyÂ´r. Sisteme katyÂ´ldyÂ´yÂ´nyÂ´z andan itibaren mesaj atamazsyÂ´nyÂ´z.Mesaj atabilmeniz iÃ§in onay verilmesi gerekmektedir.

Limonata Bende KatyÂ´labilirmiyim ?
Evet Size Melek BAÃ‡KIR davetiye gÃ¶nderdi ve artyÂ´k sizde bizim aramyÂ´za katyÂ´labilir elenceli gÃ¼zel arkadalyÂ´klar kurabilirsiniz.

This request has "sat' for awhile, so here is my attempt;
Note
This appears to be a discussion in (or an invitation to) a Chat Room. The last paragraph seems to summarize so I will translate that:

"Limonata Bende KatyÂ´labilirmiyim ? ...."

Lemonade do you want to mingle/socialize with me?"
Yes: To you 'Angel BAÃ‡KIR' a written (formal) invitation was sent and from now on you we will may each other and chat, beautiful friendships we can build.

Quoting Elisa:

Quoting longinotti1:

I was trying to work with her example of "var mı" which I know is actually used. Then I tried to make a comparison with "var+ma" which would be 2nd person negative imperative of "varmak". I think I admitted that this usage might be non-existent in real turkish.

Hmm.. I think I still don't get it..

"var mı" means "is there?"
Mutfakta sÃ¼t var mı? - Is there milk in the kitch?
Evet, var - yes, there is / Yok - no there's not

Var as a noun is more or less like "there" so "var mi" is like is it there.

"varmak" is a verb like "to arrive or realize" So "var mi" is it there or did it arrive are close to the same thing. Is the milk in the kitchen, (did it arrive the kitchen)

I am only starting to grasp the difference grammatically "allowed: usages and what what Turks actually say. I think in they would not say

"sÃ¼t mutfakta varma"

they would say
"sÃ¼t mutfakta var yok"

Thanks, this has been fun.

Quoting longinotti1:

Thanks to Ayla her insight in the intention of this messaage. Because of the time zones Ayla won't be back for awhile.

Thank you longinotti1 for knowing my time zone and schedule for entering the site, I didn't know that I had a personal agent here lol

Anyway, I'm much better with translating than with explaining rules, I think that others are doing a much better job with that.

I won't attempt Turkish. Your reputation precedes you.
You work with Methehans stories are very helpful for me. Grammar knowledge only solves part of the puzzle.

Kendine iyi bak.

Quoting longinotti1:

BUT "....varma."=.....NOT so
(if varma ends the sentence)

and admitting my limitations. Maybe Ayla or others can say if "varmak" is used in the verbal noun or negative noun way.

As far as I know "varmak" means "to arrive", so "varma" would be neg. imperative: "don't arrive", or "arrival", as a verbal noun.
But what do you mean with "varma - not so"?

Quoting Trudy:

Thanks Ayla. Probably a silly question but I thought if you have a mi/mu etc in the middle of a word its negative, and as a question at the end of the sentence, like '.... var mı?' Can you help me?

(Merhaba Elisa you were quicker)

Thanks to Ayla her insight in the intention of this messaage. Because of the time zones Ayla won't be back for awhile. Regarding your grammar question I can attempt to answer.

Here is the short version. "mi/mu" are interogative particles. They are "verbal" question marks.

me/ma are negative OR the are verbal noun/negative verb endings. Look at the /language formum there are many questions about verbal nouns/negative verbs.

Check out http://www.turkishclass.com/grammarMain.php

again your example:
'.... var mı?' .... is it there (or so).

BUT "....varma."=.....NOT so
(if varma ends the sentence)

and admitting my limitations. Maybe Ayla or others can say if "varmak" is used in the verbal noun or negative noun way.

Quoting dagdelen:

yaws burda hep yabanc?lar war ama olmuoki tÃ¼rkÃ§e bisÂ¸i yaz?nn ..

Some of it doesn't look Turkish. Best effort,no promises

If I change spelling to:

/yas burda hep yabanc?lar var ama olmusÂ¸ ki tÃ¼rkÃ§e bizi yaz?nn/

"mourning here all foreigners there but that perhaps became that our Turkish writings"

Does this statement have anything to do with Gallipoli?
