Hi Saucysue

Its not really all that difficult to fast. We can eat and drink when its dark. We also get up a bit earlier during ramazan to have a little something. I only have a drink of water but I know of people who actually have proper meals. I've been doing it since I was 7 years old though and its only 1 month in a year.

Happy Ramazan to all!

For the UK you may want to have a look at the link below. I think it lists all UK universities and HE institutions. You can go to the respective websites and look for the information you want.

Thanks for the quick translation Sui....You're a star!

Please help translate this....

You sounded so upset the last time we spoke. I do hope everything works out the way you want. I really want you to be happy. I wish I could help you although you've said you don't want me to. I know that sometimes it seems that I don't understand what you are saying but honestly I do. Not really sure how but I do understand the things you tell me. Please do not worry about me not understanding you. Your English is definitely a lot better than my Turkish. All I want you to know and be sure of is that I am always here for you. Afterall we have known each other since we were kids and I'm not about to give up on you.

Thanks loads! Çok Teşekkürler!

Its 2-0 now.....

Teşekkürler duskahvesi!

Thanks Freshman

What does this mean?

Ben sana aşik oldum

merhaba nasilsin uzun zaman oldu görüşemedik nerelerdesin beni nasil buldun çok merak ettim kusura bakma ingilizceyi iyi bilmiyorum onun için türkçe yazmaya karar verdim seni çok iyi hatirliyorum bunca zamandir neden aramadin seni çok merak ettim şu anda çok hecanliyim arkadaşim inşallah tecüme edecek bir yer bulursun

Got this message before I found turkishclass and never did get it fully translated.

Çok teşekkürler!

Hi Linda

Our translations are close enough....so I reckon we're both correct. But yours is perhaps more accurate as you've punctuated the translation. Looks much better.

No problem Jools!

Totally understand the frustration. I always have to review my MSN chats with my man as half the time he goes so fast that I can barely keep up

Thanks aslnby

Merhaba!

Somebody please help me translate this into turkish.

When I told you I was going home on 31 October it was true, I had already made all the bookings. But today I found out that my father is still not well enough to travel. The doctor decided to redo his stitches and it will take at least 10 days to heal. My father has diabetes so wounds take time to heal.

I never lied to you. Its all just an unfortunate case of misunderstanding. Why would I want to stay here longer than I have too. Bayram is upon us and if I stay here, I won't be celebrating Bayram. I'm here for my father. Everyday I iftar by myself. Do you think I want this?

Tesekkürler!

I've tried to translate it. I think the gist of the message is:-

1.Good morning
2.that he's quite impressed with her Turkish
3.asks how she is
4.he's fine
5.work is not as he would like but he's ok with it
6.he loves her very much and addresses her as young miss??
7.Goodbye

What do you turkish language experts think of my amature effort?

Thank you duskahvesi!

Can someone please translate this for me?

seni anlamiyorum pardon genç hani
belki bir yerde tercüme etirirsin böyle anlaşamiyoruz

Thanks!

Thanks Nightingale!
