Quoting CANLI:

İ understand it as 'while'
Am i wrong then ?! :-S

I've never seen it to mean while. I think the 'ken'suffix is used with the third person present simple to mean 'whilst' e.g. yaparken-whilst doing.

It's not necessary to telephone, if you sell send a pm to his friend like we said.

My attempt but not 100% sure about the middle bit 'denildiği gibi'

You were right!I'll delete mine.

Quoting gencturk:

i think "denildiği gibi" means "Ã¶nceden anlaşıldığı Ã¼zere-gibi" .

if we change the all sentence:

Telefona gerek yok , Ã¶nceden anlaştığımız gibi satacaksan PM at arkadaşa

Why?

Quoting Hilliar:

Hey guys, I'm having trouble understanding when it's appropriate to use 'olarak'.

I know in English it's meaning is roughly translated as 'As'... for example: turist olarak gidiyorum (I'm going as a tourist - forgive minor mistakes.. learning).

However, in what other contexts can it be used? I wanted to say "I'm happy as a student"... and thought saying "ogrenci olarak memnunum" would make sense, but apparently it doesn't... why?

When you add erek or arak on to a verb stem it means 'by doing' so yÃ¼rÃ¼yerek means 'by walking'or 'on foot' calişarak means 'by working' etc.
olarak literally means 'by being' and is commonly used as 'as'.
For example-Garson olarak calişiyor-'he works as a waiter.

Quoting lauralee85:

yo iyiki dogdun dostum, ozledim seni

Yesterday was my birthday and I got this message from a friend...I'm not sure what it says

Does it not say 'it's good(fortunate) that you were born,my friend. I miss you.'?
