hi Kafetzou
i think you meant glasses?
kuru yanında yaş telaş yapmaz= in the company of dry, wet goes slowly, don't know the meaning of the idiom though
eli ayağı tutmak=to be physically sound and strong

Oh boy - I really messed up on this one. I've changed it, but I need to find out the meaning of the idiom. Serba, can you help?

Hey guys,

The similar Turkish proverb I found is:

"Kurunun yanında yaş da yanar".

Literal translation: Near the dry, the damp will burn.
Meaning: If you are with wrongdoers, nobody cares if you are innocent.

Do you think it may be the same?

exceptions never spoiled the rules,compared to the drt,the wet does not rush

ı am 1.76 tall,my weight is 58 kilos.ı have brown eyes with normal body.I love laughing and ı know when to look at life through pink glasses

....ı am the one who hold any kind of hand and foot

as I know there is any idiom in similar Turkish like "kuru yanında yaş telaş yapmazzzz" .
It has to be "Near the dry, the damp will burn" like lilian mentioned.
mireia wants to say( exceptions do not break the rule; compared to near the dry, the damp will burn)

".....her türlü eli ayağı tutan "
in this sentence there isn't any "I".

merdogan, I know there isn't any "I", but it doesn't work in English to say "holding any type of hand or foot" - it needs a subject.

I'm going to take the distorted 2nd proverb as being similar to "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch", and translate it as "One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch."

Hi kafetzou,
it can be,
"holding any type of hand or foot can be accepted"
As I understood he was looking for a lady.

Hello Kafetzou,

"eli ayağı tutan" = "to be in good health".

he/she wants to say that he/she is healthy in all respects.

I've made several changes. Maybe the poll should be re-set.

Kafetzou,

the translation is ok, but may I make a point here:
he says "ne zaman hayata pembe gözlükle bakmasını bilen biriyim".

so you must have said "knows WHEN to look at life through rose-coloured glasses." not " know HOW to...". and here the word "sometimes" is not necessary

excep for that, the rest is correct..

Thanks, handyy - I fixed it. Also, I wasn't sure about "of sound mind and body". This is a common expression in English, meaning having no health problems, but it includes the mind, which I'm not sure the Turkish expression does.

Actually the text implies physical health.. you can just talk about body.
