| |  Hi Handyy, it's good to see you. 
"Trucks carry melons, I always think of you" ??? 
That's not a very romantic statement, is it?  |

handyyNombre de missatges: 2118 | Thank you Lilian
I know, but it is a piece of song and -believe me- it says so. God knows what the writer was thinking while writing these lines |

| | "anymore" can be better instate of "now". |

|
handyyNombre de missatges: 2118 | "Anymore" usually used in a negative sentence. |
| |

| | Yes it is.
this city is different than before and in negative way.

handyyNombre de missatges: 2118 | But it doesn't say "bu şehir eskiden olduğundan farklı", so we can't say "this city is different than before".
I really can't understand what is wrong with "now"  |
| |

| | What about: "This city is not the same anymore"?
Too long? Perhaps simply: "This city has changed" |

handyyNombre de missatges: 2118 | Lilian, "Now this city is different" is neither grammatically nor semantically wrong. So I prefer to make it stay as it is, if is not a problem. ?? |

| | I didn't say it was wrong, I was just trying to find an alternative to please everyone.  |

| | I agree with lilian,
The meaning is more better with "This city is not the same anymore". |
| |

|
handyyNombre de missatges: 2118 | OK then let's wait and see what other people will say. Then accordingly we could make changes -if needed. Is it possible Lilian? |
