He lives in a place called Yenimahalle.

2) Describes action (except ´said´ in Direct Speech:

"I didn´t do that!" he shouted.

"Bunu ben yapmadım!" diye bağırdı.

"Evin nerede?" diye sordu.

3) Used as "because of" :

I can´t get out because of there is exam.

Zamanı yetmedi diye soruları cevaplamadı.

Hello my friend,

I should say that "ki" is one of the most complicated structures of Turkish language. Basicly there are two kinds of "ki" in Turkish;

1) Belonging -ki

2) Conjuction ki

Belonging -ki is written with noun and it is a suffix

Evinki: the thing that belongs to home.

Benimki: mine

Conjuction "ki" is written apart:

It rained so much that streets turned into rivers:

Öyle bir yağmur yağdı ki caddeler nehre döndü.

But, we also use "ki" for "meaning emphasis, excalamation" and for "unsure tones"

Bilmiyorum: I don´t know

You say that sentence directly, without adding any stress in toning.

Bilmiyorum ki: I don´t know.

You pronounce this sentence with an "unsure" voice tone. (Adding an exclamation toning)

And an example for "meaning emphasis" :

Seni bu tanımayan yok ki bu şehirde.

ki provides "emphasis" for "yok" concept and a little "exclamation"

Let me try to explain it with another example:

Burada da hiç kitap yok : there isn´t any book in here.

You pronounce that sentence directly, expressing your view about surrounding.

But; when you say:

Burada hiç kitap yok ki.

You add "exclamation" and emphasis for "yok" concept.

Sometimes we use this structure for "but" meaning; or to emphase to "but". Likewise in "burada hiç kitap yok ki" it expresses an expectation that didn´t come true.

Yerler ıslak: Floor is wet.

Dün yağmur yağmadı ki : But it didn´t rain yesterday. (Floors may be wet because of rain but I see that it hadn´t rained.)

Yerler ıslak,

Ama dün yağmur yağmadı ki : But it didn´t raint yesterday.

Another example for that:

Sen neden yemiyorsun? : Why aren´t you eating?

Ben aç değilim ki : I am not hungry (you stress that you aren´t hungry)

I hope I could explain it. If there is any point that you didn´t get, please ask. Coz this kind of "ki" does not have a certain meaning and it gains meaning according to daily speech and stress.

A very nice song from Yüksek Sadakat:

Aşk Durdukça (As long as Love Lives)

Dünya döner bir gün daha
Yeryüzünde aşk durdukça,
Gece erken inse bile korkma,
O hep seninle kaldıkça.

Biliyorsun gitmem gerek,
Yollar bitmez düşünerek,
İster sonuç de istersen sebep,
Bu düğümü çözmem gerek.

Belki sana yazarım uğradığım bir şehirden,
Renkli bir kart atarım Mekke ya da Kudüs´ten,
Sonra bir gün çıkarım sen artık dönmez derken,
Bir şarkı fısıldarım kulağına gün batarken

Dünya döner tek bir yana,
Dolsun diye gün bir daha,
Ben de döndüm tekrar sana,
Sönmek için yana yana.

Earth turns one more day,
As long as love is in Earth,
Even if night comes earlier, don´t afraid,
As long as it is with you.

You know that I should go,
Roads do not end by thinking about them,
Call it final or reason,
I should solve this fact.

Maybe I may write you from a city I visit,
I send you a colorful card from Mecca or Jerusalem,
I may come up at the moment you say ´he doesn´t turn back´,
I whisper a sing in your ear when the sun sets.

Earth turns through a single side,
In order one more day to end,
And I turned towards you again,
In order to blow out by firing.

We don´t use "-iş" (together) for every verb in Turkish.

dinlemek does not receive "-iş"

You and her are listening to eacher:

Birbirinizi dinliyorsunuz.

Kızışma is used for a different meaning: it is generally used in meaning of "to become hot"

For saying "we are angry at each other" :

Birbirimize kızgınız.

Gözleşmek is incorrect. "to observe" is "gözlemlemek/gözlemek"

They observed each other:

Birbirlerini gözlemlediler/gözlediler.

Verişmek doesn´t mean "to give something to each other"

Vermek veriştirmek is an expression, to have a rough tongue.

They are giving each other a gift:

Birbirlerine hediye veriyorlar.

Sarılışmak is correct, it means "to hug each other"

Hatırlaşmak is incorrect:

They remembered each other:

Birbirlerini hatırladılar.
