Thanks for your reply Henry. I´ve just noticed my typo on "Bursa´ya seviyormusunuz", I of course meant Bursa´yı seviyormusunuz

Thanks for the explanation sonunda. Is this the ´Teach yourself Turkish´ you refer to: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teach-Yourself-Turkish-Book-Languages/dp/0340871059?

I have learnt most of the little turkish I know from the linguaphone PDQ course. I was taught that:

´Do you live in Istanbul´ is Istanbul da mı yaşiyorsunuz

but

´Do you like Bursa´ is Bursa´ya seviyormusunuz

Is there any particular reason why the positioning of ´mi´ differs in the two sentences? Is it as valid to say ´Istanbul da yaşiyormusunuz´ for the former or does ´mı´ usually follow a locative case suffix if one is present in a question?

Many Thanks

Thanks tomac. Doing a Google search of ´duyrulur´ brings back lots of Turkish pages which include that spelling so maybe it is a word in its own right. I guess we need a native turkish speaker to confirm

Hi sonunda (is that turkish for ´eventually´?)

No, I couldn´t work ´duyrulur´ out either. I´m also intrigued about ´yapamamıştım´: are you able to break that into its components parts for me?

Thanks for your reply (yanıtınız için teşekkür ederim?)

Bob

kardeş ben balayı yapamamıştım zamanında duyrulur

is it something like:

I couldn´t make your honeymoon on time?

teşekkür ederim
