-memezlik  etmek 

 

When we want to impress upon a person that he must not fail to dosomething or, to put it another way, he must be sure to do something, we add - memezlik [-mamazlık ] to  the verb stem followed by etme, etmeyelim, etmeyin, etc..

 

 Verb stem + memezlik [mamazlık ] + etme.....

 

Sometimes the word sakın " is placed before the sentence for an extra emphasis.

 

- Sakın gitmemezlik etme ! ----> Now be sure to go ! [ Don´t fail not to go ]

 

- Söyle , gelmemezlik etmesin ! ---> Tell him/her to be sure to come !

 

- Dersine çalışmamazlık etme !  ---> Make sure you study your lessons !

 

- Doktora gitmemezlik etmeyin ! ---> Make sure you [plural] do go to the doctor !

Quoting gokuyum

 

I think he doesnt mean the heart dear tunci. He says as long as your heart is not broken let thre be dirt and filth on you. That is my interpretation.

 

 

Your interpretation makes more sense gokuyum. " let there be dirt and filt on you rather than having a broken heart ". You are right.

Quoting sweetalmond

Can someone please explain what olduğunu or olduğu means and what context it should be used?  Thank you in advance! 

 

 

  ol + duk + personel suffix

  k ---> ğ

  ol  + duğ + u, un, um, umuz, unuz, ları

 

 Kim olduğun + u   biliyorum.

 I know [that] who are you.

 

That extra " u "  is required by the verb "bilmek".

I am sorry for offending you. I was having a bad day and said something silly. I hope you forgive me.

Quoting trip

Merhaba! I am trying to translate Can Yücel´s "Doğum Günü," but I am stuck on one line:

"Kalbin kırılmasında, üzerinde kir pasak olsun."

I think the first part means something like "in the heart´s breaking" or "in heartbreak," but the second part has me stumped. I can see the parts but not the whole. The closest I get is "Let there be dirt and filth on top." Or something like that. But that can´t be right, so I am thinking this must be an idiom or somesuch.

Bana yardım edin, lütfen!

Teşekkürler!


 

You got it almost right if there was not important spelling error in the critical point [ seperating conjunction -de [da] ] 

Because , it is attached to the word it confused you. It looked like a case ending [locative], but in fact it is a conjunction and functions as something like " as long as ". So, lets seperate that "de " by not touching your initial translation.

"Kalbin kırılmasın da üzerinde kir pasak olsun."

"As long as your heart is not broken, let there be dirt and filth on it "

In other words, the poet says, its better having  dirt and filt on your heart than having it broken.

 Five forms of the question "WHERE" [NERE]


NERE : This is a singular root of the question "Where" and it is rarely used without ending.

 

Burası  nere ? ---> Where is here ? 

* Although it should be "neresi", you may hear people using it without ending in questions like that.

 

NEREDE : " In , on, at , where ? ". It asks the locality of the subject, and it is always used together with a verb " to be ", and the verbs thhat give a "da, de" ending to the object "

 

Postane nerede ? ---> [At] Where  is the post office ?

 

NEREYE : "to towards where ?" It asks to where the action of  the subject is directed, and is used together with the verbs that give an "-a,-e " ending to the object. [dative verbs]

- Nereye gidiyorsun ? ---> [To] Where are you going ?

 

NEREYİ :  "Where". It is always with the verbs that give an "i,ı " endings to the object. [Accusative verbs]

 

Nereyi aldın ? ---> Where did you buy ?

- Burayı aldım. ---> I bought here.

 

NEREDEN : " From where ?",  " Out of where  ? " . It asks from where, or out of where the action is taking place. 

Nereden gideceğiz ? ---> From where we will go ?

 

NERESİ :   "Where ? " , meaning what place ?, which country ?, city, room etc..  It points out a part of a whole.

 

- Almanya´nın neresinde yaşıyorsun ? ---> In what part of Germany you are living ?

demek 

 

In some cases the adverbial form of the verb "demek" ---> "diye"[by saying/thinking ] precedes these verbs :

 

- Ne yapıyorsunuz ? diye sordu "--> He/She asked [saying] what are you doing?

 

- " Hayır hiç görmedim" diye cevap verdi. ---> He/She answered [saying] "No, I haven´t seen at all "

 

- Öğretmen öğrencileri, "sessiz olun !" diye uyardı. ----> The teacher warned the students [by saying] " be quite ! "

 

- Anne, bakıcıya "Çocuklara iyi bak " diye tembih etti. ---> The mother admonished the carer [by saying ] " look after the kids well "

 

- Öğretmen, " Ödevlerinizi unutmayın"  diye ekledi.  ---> The teacher added [by saying] "Don´t forget your homeworks ".

 

- "Mektuplarımı açmayın " diye size kaç defa rica ettim.---> How many times I pleaded with you [by saying] " Do not to open my letters ".

 

- " Acaba başına bir iş mi geldi " diye merak ettim.  ---> I worried about you [by thinking ] if something happened to you.
