Quoting TeresaJana:

Is 'için' --'so as to', 'so' (per my dictionary) always used with almak ?

what other uses has icin or almak icin?



Dictionary definitions can be inadequate, especially for "icin". "Icin" is a postposition, meaning that it comes AFTER the word it modifies. It can connotate "for", "for the purpose of", or "because".

One example is a Advirtiisement for AKBANK. It fininishes with:


"T üriye Icin" (FOR TURKEY)

(Taking a chance with Turkish)

Seni geçtin icin, Biz çikdik. (or maybe)
Seni geç geldiginiz icin, Biz çikdik.

Because you were late, we left.

Gezbelle explained it as well as I can.

In this forum, "guzelim" usually starts the sentence and it means "my beauty".

The other possiblity, though grammatically, correct, it is hard to picture a "sober" person, (Unless in a therapy session). Who would to say(in either language) "I am beautiful". (at least in front of witnesses)

If you want to write the screenplay on this it might do well.

Thank you all for your replies:

I apologize for the original bad typing.

I realized after posting, that there might not be any "polite" way to answer in Turkish. But that helps me.

Tes¸ekkürler

Quoting Ayla:

)
4.Believe me that I'll call you and my girl (unless it's a typo and meant to be "kızma"-don't get angry)



I think 4. could be "..... you and my daughter" if that fits your situation? Ayla what do you think?

Is "sim" another word for Hello?. It came up twice in Trans.Req Forum, but my online Dictionary just says it means "silver":?

There is an expression, I think its even in a Rock Song,

"I want it bad, (and sometimes also) AND I want it now."

(Some may say it is not "correct" English, but in America people do say it) when they need for example:

Something manufactured.

Something written,

Something drawn:

Some product urgently: etc. etc.

A Humorous reply to this:

"If you want it bad, you get it bad, AND

the WORSE you want it

the WORSE you will get it."

Are there Turkish expressions that relate to this situation?

If the message came from your husband, (and based on your response it guess it did) that is fine. If it came from a relative or brother in law, then

"yenge" is

1. uncle´s wife, affinal aunt.
2. sister-in-law, brother´s wife.
3. used when referring informally to one´s own wife or to a friend´s wife:
