"Fakat dışarıda kar yağmaya başladı"

-e başlamak
yağmak-e: yağmaya

These bits I am not understanding

"dışarı" already means "outside" so why does it need the locative suffix?

What is wrong with using the infinitive "kar yağmak" - to snow?

Why can't başlamak be in the aorist tense as it is something that is just happening as I was writing?

What do you mean by "-e başlamak" ?
The dictionary doesn't list başlamak as needing to be in the dative state.

think of "dışarı" and "iÃ§eri" (inside) as any place name, unlike in english it takes -e for direction and -de for position.

In english you say,"I am outside" while you say "I'm at home."
In turkish, you say "Dışarıdayım" just like "Evdeyim"

For present perfect tense, in turkish past tense is usually used. So "it has started" is "Başladı"

And forget all your english grammar rules.
You start or begin to do (or doing) something but in turkish it's always -e başlamak

to start to read.
Okuma-y-a başlamak

to start smoking
Sigara iÃ§meye başlamak

There are a lot of verbs like this:
to try to do: -e Ã§alışmak
to try to read:
Okumaya Ã§alışmak

When you learn a turkish verb, you have to learn it in a sentence. Because the usages aren'T same.

Şu hafta sonu kervanımızda tatil yapacakız
Fakat dışarı kar yağmak başlar

This weekend we are going away in our caravan
However it has started to snow outside

Does the dictionary say kervan for caravan? Yes, it says.I also looked.

But in the meaning you use, you should say "karavan"

If you say kervan, an image like camels on a desert probably comes to mind.
Because kervan is used to define: a convoy of pack animal mostly camel.

"Bu haftasonu karavanımızda tatil yapacağız."
"Fakat dışarıda kar yağmaya başladı"

-e başlamak
yağmak-e: yağmaya

French music.. Chansonsss. French are really very good at melancolic, romantic songs.

"Avec le temps" is really a nice song as you found out.

There are a lot to discover, but these days I listen to

-"Amour Perdu" (Lost Love) and "Si l'amour existe encour" (If love still exists) of Salvatore Adamo.

- "Je l'aime a mourir" and "Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerais" (I loved, I love and I'll love) from Francis Cabrel.

- "Elle est d'ailleurs" from Pierre Bachelet.

- And you can try Isabelle Boulay. She has a nice voice.

Meltem,

Congratulations on being a new moderator in our forums. Yesterday, tough we were writing on the same subjects, I was'nt aware of the change. Later on when I saw your name it was too late.
You are really working hard on language related forums.
I have seen you many times doing the longest translation only for a "thank you". It is very nice to have so active peope around. Tebrikler.

Erdem,
Selamlar. It's nice to see you around as well.

Dear ErdinÃ§,

Thank you very much. It happened yesterday evening. So, it's normal that you didn't notice.

Really, I like working with languages, and also if it helps someone, it's much better.

I'd like to do more for this site, but unfortunately, I can't give a lot of time. And, I can't do moderating as well as you. You're really a very successful moderator.

Anyway, I hope all the things go well.

Meltem

"GÃ¶rÃ¼yorum ki beni msn listenden silmişsin, bu şimdi bir daha hiÃ§ konuşmucaz anlamına mı geliyor? GerÃ§ekten şok oldum ve Ã¼zÃ¼ldÃ¼m."

I know that frustrating situation!

They copy-paste, copy-paste... Even their loves are copy-paste.
