Quoting CANLI

 

 

 Makes very much logic .

Ý always thought that Pimsleur is sucks at grammar.

And they keep prove me right ! {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

 

 

Yet we cannot say that "it´s compeletely wrong", because it still answers the question but they are not in the same grammatical structure, and there´s a slight difference in the meaning, which in daily life you may ignore (when it answers the question as well).

However, it´s always preferable that the questions and answers are constructed in the same grammatical structure.

Quoting CANLI

But mltm it was about location

Ýn the text,

He asked

Sultan Ahmet meydaný nerede?

The answer was

Sultan Ahmet meydaný burasý.

 

That means the one who answered already standing at Sultan Ahmet square ? or he is close to it and pointing at it ?

 

And if i say Sultan Ahmet meydaný burada

Would mean any difference ?

 

 Then it´s not a good answer to the question.

Relevant questions and answers should be:

 

-Sultan Ahmet meydaný neresi?

-Sultan Ahmet meydaný burasý.

 

- Burasý neresi?

- Burasý Sultan Ahmet Meydaný.

 

-Sultan Ahmet Meydaný nerede?

- Sultan Ahmet Meydaný burada.

Quoting SuiGeneris

 

 

 Come on! what can be difference on treatment to a woman at 60 and 79?

 

 I think there´s a huge difference. Nearly 20 years, and it´s a generation.

Quoting Merih

 

 

 

 

 

If you are presenting something, "Burasý Sultan Ahmet Meydaný", Here is Sultan Ahmet...

In fact "Sultan Ahmet Meydaný burasý" means again "Here is Sultan Ahmet Square." although the subjects of the two sentences are different.

 

To say "Sultan Ahmet Square is here", it´s "Sultan Ahmet Meydaný burada" -de is a location suffix, so it gives rather its location whereas in the first one it presents.

"Here" (bura) and "there" (ora) are like any other noun in turkish.

And same rules apply to them. They take the same noun suffixes; "case suffixes: -de, -e, -den, -i ...

 

Buraya gel.  --> Come here. In turkish "come to here" because with the verb "come", -e suffix is used.

 

Burada yaþýyorum. --> I live here. In turkish with the verb "yaþamak" (to live), -de suffix is used like in "Türkiye´de yaþýyorum".

 

Burayý çok seviyorum.---> I like here a lot. With "sevmek", accusative is used.

 

Though when with no suffix cases (like when "here" is the subject of the sentence", either "bura" or "burasý" is used. (most of the time "burasý")

 

Bura çok güzel. --> Here is very nice.

Burasý çok güzel.

 

 

And in "burasý", the -i suffix is the possessif suffix. Why possesif is used? Maybe this example can explain better:

- (Vücudunun) Neresi aðrýyor? Where is hurting? Which part of your body is hurting?

- Burasý aðrýyor. --> Here is hurting, but in fact "here of my body" though it´s cut and just "burasý" is used.

 

This is my try.

Quoting femmeous

my conclusion is: women like mltm and alameda are those who condemn raped women for being raped. they will definetly say: she wouldnt be raped if she didnt provoke by her dress.

 

 

 

 Yes! how do you read my mind? Exactly like that.

 

Though I wonder how did you jump to thi subject.

I agree with alameda on this.

 

If this kind of jokes will not be tolerated and will be classified as sexist, then it should apply to jokes about both genders, or we need to modify the rules to "sexism against women". Otherwise, the rules itself will be sexist.

Quoting Trudy

 

 

 Humbleness is crap. Invented by men, maintained by men and women to keep women down.

 

 

God god god.... Gimme patience

Quoting Trudy

 

 

Humble? Why on earth should a woman be humble? She - general - can be proud of anything she likes and shout that out loud. If you don´t see that, you are not liberated as you think you are!

 

 You can be humble in a lot of different ways. And it has nothing to do with being a woman or a man.

 

Shouting out loud in every occasion that "you are a liberated woman" just emphasizes that you are not in fact as liberated as you think.

Quoting femmeous

the difference between me and limitted mltm is that if anyone calls mltm´s body part as rotten fish i would be shocked and comment against that, but mltm would have fun out of primitive jokes.

mltm, you are so primitive.

 

 Please femmeous do not feel anything against any comments made about me.

I don´t want to listen to your differences. Ofcourse we are very very different, even not comparable.

 

AND I´m that honest to tell the truth. I felt shocked and found it funny.And I do not care about your opinions about me finding it funny.

 

Someone just descended to your level and answered you in your level.

 

At the end of the day, humankind is not very different from its primitive ascendants.

 

So, primitive jokes about primitive people made me laugh in a primitive way.
