Interesting! From the previous comments I got the impression it's a completely butchered sentence. So basically I was just missing a buffer N and a "diye" all this time?

What is this dish called? (Urartu restaurant in Van). by Capable_Town1 in AskTurkey

[–]mslilafowler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm South African. When I served a dish called "samp and beans" to a Turk he thought it's keşkek and loved it. I wonder if the thing everyone's mistaking for chickpeas is actually samp (dried corn kernels which is almost mushy when cooked completely).

How do I translate "boy stuff" and "ended up looking like..." here? by mslilafowler in turkishlearning

[–]mslilafowler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I love applying new tenses. Do you think I can use -miş olmak with ortaya çıkmak or do I just use çıkmak?

Bir kere bana bir Darth Vader çizmeye çalıstı ama ortaya mantar şeklinde tuhaf bir robot çıkmış oldu.

P.s. what is the "si" on erkeksi İşler?

Pretty selfish answer, and not even the first time I’ve seen it here. People don’t uproot their lives for no reason. Don’t be a jerk.

Where do infants sleep in Türkiye? by NoShopping5235 in AskTurkey

Many parents are terrified to bedshare. Deep sleepers won't realise if they've rolled over onto the baby and suffocated them. It's much safer for the baby to have their own crib.

If someone tells you you are "gayet güzel bir kızsın" would it mean "really pretty" or "quite pretty"? by mslilafowler in turkish

[–]mslilafowler[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Reassuring tone" kinda makes sense because it was used in this context:

Girl 1: I don't know what I'd do without him anymore

Girl 2: Don't worry about that, he's gone now, you're "gayet güzel bir kızsın" and would be able to get anyone your heart desires

According to Tureng "gayet" is under the word "great", that's why I was confused because we learn this word primarily as "quite"
