Quoting caliptrix: Quoting bod: The dictionary translates düzeltmek as "to repair, put (something) in running order". "Rebuild" is a bit more involved than "repair" so would düzeltmek not be a better choice than tamir etmek ??? |
düzeltmek is usually to make something correct:
Yanlışım varsa düzeltin.
If I have a mistake, correct me.
or if something is bad as physically, and you want to make it better:
Kapının kolu yamulmuş, düzeltir misin?
The handle of the door has buckled, do you repair it?
By the way, we can use it for broken computers but we should not use it for engines. tamir etmek: repair is better for here.
Arabamı tamir ettirmem gerekiyor
I have to make my car repair
or if you will repaire:
Arabamı tamir etmem gerekiyor
I have to repaire my car
Kolay gelsin!
