i don't like ataturk!
even tho i am turkish
he took islam away from the turkish ppl- i heard that nowadays you arn't even allowed into a public library with a scarf- so much for freedom!!!
You "heard". I take it that you don't presently live in Turkey. Where do you live? Were you born or raised in Turkey?

salam bro,,
yea,thats right,its not allowed ...
about atatürk,
he did some good ,some bad,,,
i dont like some of his deeds...this is true,,but at least he fought for this country....
I think it is allowed. My daughter works in a library in Istanbul. She doesn't usually wear a scarf, but she does occassionally. Her mother does all the time. She couldn't wear it to class at school, but she could in the library.
I think this is an easy question, but I really struggle with possessive constructions.
How do you say:
I am going to the house.
I am going to his house.
I am going to my house.
I am going to my wife's house.
I am going to my brother's house.
I am going to my wife's brother's house.
I am going to my brother-in-law's house.
(If you would please, I want to see each of the different sentences even if they don't make logical sense, so that I can learn the difference ways the sentence is made.)
Sup? i ent Turkish but evry1 eg. frends and ppl outa skool are always askn me weda im turkish...is it evn possible to luk turkish???
Certainly. Turkish men are rugged and handsome. Turkish women are among the most beautiful in the world. If everyone thinks you are Turkish you must be exceptionally beautiful.

i guess so,,
i am working as a tourist guide in istanbul and i can realize almost every tourist from where they are,,so other people can do the same,,,
by the way where r u from sister?
we turks are quite similar with italians,greeks,polish, n so... (i mean Turkiye turks,,, Kazaks,Turkmens,Uzbeks are little different,,like mongols or chinese,,,the main reason is we ve been living here in Turkiye for hundreds of years and i think we mixed with mediterranians)
Good. Then you might be able to help me make a decision. Do you think that it is better for a person who is going to be visiting family not only in Istanbul, but also friends in the interior to rent a car or depend on public transportation?
I know Istanbul has terrible traffic and I have never seen it in person. But I am continually worned about such and such a place having terrible traffic and yet I have successfully driven in all of America and Canada's largest cities, plus in much of Mexico and Chile.

i need to know in which interior cities are they? public transportation is better for foreigners,,but also you can drive easily in Turkiye,,(except istanbul,its not that hard to drive)...
about the traffic of istanbul,,its awful,,i never wanna drive here,,,better to use tram ,metro etc in ths city,,but u can rent a car to go further,,,
But it sounds like you're saying that I want to avoid renting a car in Istanbul, even if I am going to rent one for the rest of my time. hmmmm??
So, if I've already got the rental car for the rest of my stay, are you still recommending not driving in Istanbul? My daughter lives near Anadolu Hisari and of course we would be spending time with her, with a "niece" who lives next to Boğaziçi Univesity, and wanting to also play the role of tourist in the city's center. Aslı doesn't have a car and just always uses the bus, but my wife has suffered a stroke and is unable to walk distances of more than two or three blocks. So, I wasn't sure if the bus would always work for us. Maybe we would be better off with taking taxis even at their extreme expense?
Üzgünüm, dream gurl, ama hayır. İsteyorun "Nasılsun?".
"Adan ne?" means "What is your name?", if I remember correctly. I've never studied Turkish. I wish I could find a local college that offered it. Where did you study?

LOL. A mix of Arabic and Hindi would hardly make it easy for me, as I don't speak either of them.

Hi,
yes i meant that,,
but the area, where ur daughter lives, is quite beter than city center,,so if u wanna rent (or if u need) a car,its better to drive at weekends,,and also early in the days n late times are better(till 8am n after 8pm)...public transportation is not so good for you i guess,,be coz you ll need to walk a couple hundreds of meters all the time,,,.
by the way,taxi drivers dont take customers for short distances,,i know its rediculus but this is what they do...
