actually you did and i am not a man, more i dont see it funny to make jokes about nicknames or NAMES.more as we are all writting in forum - we all have rights to share our ideas about topic

 ??? what is your problem? why i cannot say my opinion? i am living in Turkey for 2 years and my friends are not affraid to get flowers from me

i think you can send flowers, but you need to be careful with choosing which ones.sunflowers here is on all corners as they are for seeds and for oil, so i dont think that it will be something special even they look so cheerful.Good luck!

yes - "asla" means "never"

"i am bored (or sick off)  of being alone and my life"

it means "i didn´t forget"

i have similar experience and can just say - share this with your bf - and he will take you to female hairstylist, as i am sure that he would feel uncomfortable also...

good luck!

çok teşekkür ederim

 Thanks again i know but in the same time in family is other "kids", so i dont want make them more jealous about me and our perfect relations with parents actually they are already...

thanks

yes, i am asking my father in law to be witness in my weddings as i dont have my own father here i am calling already him like my dad but i will leave "babacığım" to my beloved as he can become jealous

can someone please help and check if my sentence is correct?

"Babam, sen benim nikah şahidi olmak istiyor musun?"

thanks

because instead of saying how wonderful they are and puting them in next place after God, with saying that i dont like and that they are not so so so (we can see of broken heart count here and cheating) wonderful as they are saying or prettending they are.

i just told my opinion - nothing personal.As everyone i have right to like or dont like someone too.Well i dont.İ dont care they are crazy or not about me.

but i dont like turkish man, actually never liked just my only one - in the rest of them i cannot find anything attractive for me as they are to hairy, to dark, sometimes so so annoying and more i am sick of their attention as they cannot accept word "no" but if someone likes - good luck!

Hey - dont worry! is she is calling you as a daughter it means that she is really open to meet you it is great

well for sister always jewellery will be always working - no matter how expensive - it can be something small like earings.Maybe also for mom...İf she is wearing them.İt is difilcult to say about prices, i have no idea about that- but with or without presents - i am sure that will be happy also just about your visit.but as i said - souvenirs always work maybe in your country is something special also from foods what you can take with you...

hi! i still have this problem with gifts even i know my mother in law pretty well.You can always bring something traditional from you country - what they cannot find in Turkey.İt can be some souvenir (book about your country or something else) or some scarf - as you know women are wearing them so often here.İ think you should ask your BF about her hobbies and it will make your decission easier.İt can be something also handmade - so she can appreciate your skills and be proud that you spend some time for making present for her instead of buying.My suggestion is - try to bring something small for all family members - it would be nice and i am sure that presents everyone likes good luck!

i am so sorry that you will not be able to have sex anymore of course not - but from all posts - it is conclusion and solution for broken hearts...

 Yes!!!so many turkish guys have relations with foreigner girls - if they have sex - they should marry them!

 it was a joke i have really wonderful relations with all 4 my parents (real ones and turkish)and we are planing weddings no matter what

 nope i am for love -  not for having forced marriage. just having fun as i found this as mistake in the situation what we were talking about - family dont let son to marry girl who he loves, but in the same time if they were caught having sexual relations, they should marry each other...

that´s all

from this point they should force to marry all those foreigner girls with whom guys had relations - to be fair.

i hope they will force my BF   

 yeah... this sounded for me also the most scary thing for a women that´s why i want to know is it true or not.

we still dont know my mother-in-law birthday either, as she was registred few months after she was born.

 yes.İ heard this from one turkish guy who shared traditions in seminar...

to JUSTİNETİME.İ agree with you also.But from this point i think also turkish guys who knows their families pretty well should think before get involved in relations without saying what kind of dificulties they can face.İ mean there is no secret that all these interenet relations sooner or later will end in a one or other way and before to start them,it would be great to think what they can do with other person lives (in this case those women who is going to Turkey blinded with empty promises and after suffering because of dumping with some excuses).it is not fair anyway.so before jumping in to foreigner bed they should think at first what they really want and what they are doing.

Of course we dont have right to judge just share opinion.And of course we should respect also other culture and traditions (i really do, just try to see diferent angles too).By the way - i think some time ago i heard that in some traditional williages women who has been raped need to get marry with guilty person...İs this true?

İ agree with CANLİ.Man should be MAN in situation like this (in age close to 30 when i think is the right time for creating a family and live his own, adult life).Maybe just this guy is not right one - as it is to hard to make his own decissions and be in charge about his and other persons life.İt is much easier to give up and put the blame on something or someone else.Wanting is in 1st place and the rest is just obstacles with what he should fight.İf love is REAL-- only thing what can stop lovers is rejecting from beloved.İf woman is ready to sacrifise all her life and leave everything behind in the name of love (even more - she feels guilty about spliting family,but her beloved didnt say anything about her family and their reactions), he should do the same.İ am so sorry again that life is not always giving everything so easy.But maybe it is better, who knows...i wish the best and still believe that everyhting what happens is just next step forward to something much better...

 Thanks Trudy!

i have question about section 2 Constant Harmony 1.homework.Why i need add "e" and which meaning i need to put on words.İt is the same as add "a" or "e" ?

 life here is pretty interesting, you just need to be sure about your deccision and open to all new  

 maybe it was meant like "i am young, but for you it is enough, as we are lowers now"...

welcome to the club 

my try "i will prepare breakfast"

 i am so sorry actually i had similar experience with my turkish family but after they met me and my boyfriend didnt change his mind about our relations, i arrived to Turkey and they needed to accept me, as they needed to choose - lose son or not.For now our relations are perfect - even better than i had ever with my own parents.Maybe try to find some chance to meet them and try to prove that their son will be happy with you good luck!

we will it is on our wayback plan thanks

Hi!
we are planing holidays and as i would like to discover more about Turkey we are planing car trip to south-west Turkey.Can someone please suggest some interesting places on the way from İstanbul to Denizli?We will go to Pamukkale and i am really looking forward to see it but maybe there is something else around.Thanks

it is just a beginning

it would be great to get all mistakes on P.M looking foward for new homeworks

well i think if this man is killer it doesnt mean for which country comes or goes... 9 years for killing and after sending away from country? i think it is so unfair for all those who get 20 years for smaller crimes.He killed the men!and no matter türk or german or what ever is nationalıty - and if we start to kill just protect our honor... excuse me, but then we should kill at least half of all people.

hi to all our class! thanks for homeworks!!! i really start to enjoy this website but i have one question about homework.there was sentence "Ali pakta... top oynuyor. "
it shouldnt be "Ali park...(ta) top oynuyor?"??? it sounds logical... anyway - thanks again for this opportunity to study

as far as i know - divorce is not popular in Turkey.And if family is more traditional, they dont accept even thought about divorcing - as family is the most important in their lives and family values is almost saint.but if your friend is ready to make his own decision and he is not happy - he need to be very very strong.good luck to him!and yes in other countries is more dificult to divorce, not like in States where it is almost like a tradition

i am also ready to learn seriously

i was expecting more from this website, to be honest.and also i thought that talks will be more about Turkey and in turkish what could help to learn.

i am so sorry that i opened my mouth.as i am dumb and dont know anything about turkish women and relations and life generally (even i am sociologist and have traveled pretty much).but i still think before trying to change the world you should ask - is it ok for them also who rights you are protecting or trying to get.ok - you all are right!!!tamam mı?have a good day!

maybe i am to dumb but i couldnt find this option...

the fact is that turkish women and average american or europian women are DİFFERENT.we cannot except the way how they live and think with our own experience and try to heal society with - "you need to live like i think because it is better".always will be women who will want work and always will be who will want spent time at home.there is also many things what seems strange for me, but for this society it is normal - as sitting at home and asking money from husband, as growing their kids at home not leaving them to stranger care,as role distribution in family.

but in the same time i cannot delete it and it is a bit annoying

İ didnt read other posts but those women who i know doesnt feel unhappy about sitting at home.İ am not talking about education here - but about peaceful home life(İ am sitting at home also - need to be honest - even i have university degree and i cannot say that i am not good educated,but for now it is more language problem).İt is more like lifestyle for housewives.When husband leaves in the mornings, they have their own things to do,house to clean, kids to play, shoping to do, friends to visit etc.Husband is taking care about financial side of family but women is housekeeper and full time mom.Also for young women it so much depends of family - how they see daughters future - with carrier or at husbands home.İf family is against study, then it is problem.But in the same time let young girl to work in places where is mostly man working also seems to be a bit dangerous.For me - i dont see this as a big problem.maybe it is better than average working mom who doesnt see their children, not have time for themselves or for friends, not even mentioned about time for husband.İ dont know noone who is complaining about sitting at home (just about persons who i know).But of course - to get at least highschool education is important.

i know, but i cannot check all posts just not to copy them.Anyway - not important

Creed "Hİgher"

i did

after this bloody yesterday to be honest i feel really strange and scared.and i all the time questinig myself why people always try to play "GOD"?there is so many things what is not predictable and it makes me feel small and empty.anyway -how is your day?

i am curious about this word usage.İn direct translation it means - "sweety", "honey".but my turkish family is saying that it means more "my life" or "my soul".So which one is more correct?

i think it means in naugthy way

this ir really good dictionary so maybe you can translate them by yourself

my turkish friends told about those turkish bath night and traditional henna drawing on hands (similar like in Ýndia).Maybe it is just some their tradition...

My experiences are little. I see that there is a special night before the wedding day. It is called "kına gecesi". Women do something themselves, and men never be with them at this whole night. As I am a guy, I have been always with the men, and we just sit and chat about the world, about the wedding, the people etc. If the family is religious some, then the chat topic is always religious and the wishes and prayers that god will help this "future" family; the guy and the girl.

QUOTE]

thank you very much
yeah, i heard about this girl night before marriage and as far i understood celebrating is in turkish bath with some dances and body art.
and also (i didnt check this rule before - my fault) you cannot write in turkish here anyway
and as far as i know there is also hand kissing - as showing respect to guests.true?

oops!

Please share your experience or knowledge about turkish wedding ceremony, traditions and afterparty.For native speakers - please write in turkish - so i can learn a bit
thanks

crime is in all cities and everywhere people are swearing - maybe here more passionate as here is so many unwritten rules.again my appologies as i am not english native speaker.and smoking here is lifestyle - i dont like it either but i cannot change them

Name "Asya" for me is to oriental.But maybe for new parents it is ok

İ think Elif is also popular in Turkey or Burcu.But to be honest the most interesting name i found for my own daugther is Servet.İ know - GS have player with this name but as i understood it can be also girl name.Anyway - most of names are with some meaning so be careful when you chose it and congratulations

Thank you all!

p.s. and i told that "peacefull" is not the right word but my english is not so good - so dont take it personal

thanks for it anyway
