You must buy a Turkish keyboard for yourself

By the way "Ben de.." Ben and de are seperate..

 

[Grace Seeker]

How do you say: "Get well, soon."? Is it "Geçmiş olsun."?


And can anyone interpret this phrase: "Allaha şükür hayatta kalmışsınız."? I think it is something like, "Thank God you are alive."

 

[anatolian]

I don't know the first one but you are right at the second.

 

[Grace Seeker]

When someone is sick or in the hospital, what do you say to them when you are hoping that they will recover soon?

Is it not, "Geçmiş olsun."?


If not, how do you use that phrase?

 

[anatolian]

Yes we say "Geçmiş olsun" to them at those times. So you say get well,soon.

Your English phrase seems "İyi olman dileğiyle" or "Yakında iyi olman dileğiyle" but we use "geçmiş olsun much more commonly.

 

[Grace Seeker]

Yes, we say "Get well soon." to people who are sick or in the hospital.

Are there other occassion when you might say "Geçmiş olsun." to someone besides when they are sick?

 

[anatolian]

When some one gets over any bad thing, an accident, illness..etc no matter if he is still in an unhealthy or healthy situation you say "geçmiş olsun".

"what the hell" in my post upset you? :skeleton:

If you try to teach Turksh in net it is better to use a turkish keyboard, wrong?

Or to correct a grammar mistake was wrong?:?

 

[anatolian]

Kardeş, iyiyim, seni çok seviyorum.

 

[Grace Seeker]

I was able to download programs that allow me to type in Turksih characters on an English keyboard. People who want to be able to type both c & ç, g & ğ, i & ı, o & ö, s & ş, or u & ü might want to check them out so that you can actually write the words you intend. The difference between the meaning of "olumlu" and "ölümlü" is significant.

 

[anatolian]

Yes, right..another example, it would be so wrong to write "boring" in Turkish without the Turkish characters

Though for those who understand both meanings of the word "to bore" in English it would make an interesting (even if somewhat rude) play on words.:-[
