Përkthime - Turqisht-Anglisht - merhaba canim nasılsın .seni öpüyorum . ayakkabı...

Hi merdogan. It's been a while, hasn't it?

"I kiss you" is not very common in English. We'd better say: "A kiss to you".

What do you think?

Do you ever use "canim" and "seni öpüyorum" if you speak to a friend, or could this only be used in a romantic fashion?

''My life'' have not same meaning.darling, honey, sweety, sweetie, sweetheart, dearling, honeybun, honeybunch
are more appropriate for ''canım''

I think it would be more correct to translate "canım" as: my darling, my dear.

I agree with Gergeb and Sunnybebek, but I think "canım" is right this way too.

OK, that was fixed. Anything else? or may I validate it?

It´s ok... I understand, but can anybody tell me:

Do you ever use "canim" and "seni öpüyorum" if you speak to a friend, or could this only be used in a romantic fashion?

I think we can't use "canım" or "seni öpüyorum" when we are talking to a friend. I think you should ask a native to be sure about it, Luna.

@Lilian, I think you can validate it.

Hi Dear lilian.
Yes, ıt's been a while, you seem to have thoroughly forgotten me.
if you ask me I say "my life" is more better(romantic) than the others because life is very important. The others (darling, love, dear....) are standard forms.

Of course, you can say 'canım' or 'seni öpüyorum' to a friend. 'canım' is 'my dear' and 'seni öpüyorum' is literally 'I kiss you' but in English I think it's more appropriate to say 'kisses'.

Merdogan has right too, look at this:

aşkım - my love
canım - my life
bi tanem - my only one
hayatım - my life
sevgilim - my darling
balım - my honey

Hazal, what do you think about it?

Yes, literally it could be 'my life' but in English I think 'my life' is quite romantic (isn't it ?), whereas 'canım' is not necessarily romantic. You can say 'canım' to your brother, your sister, your friends... and you can also say 'canım' to your boy/girlfriend, your husband/wife...
Personally, when I have to translate 'canım' into English, I translate it as 'my dear', it's more usual.

Thanks for your explanation, Hazal. Like this I learned a little bit too.

I don't agree with 44hazal44 for last line.

You're welcome.
