| | Hi CursedZephyr, please leave a space after periods and commas, also:
What's happened
What happened |
| | 16 Febrero 2009 17:01 |
| | 'What "has" happened?' Isn't it possible? :S |
| | 16 Febrero 2009 17:45 |
| | Yes, it's possible. Is it the case here? a present perfect tense? |
| | 16 Febrero 2009 17:47 |
| | Yes, it is. Actually, it was. |
| | 16 Febrero 2009 17:50 |
| | Kafetzou? Is that present perfect or simple past? CC: kafetzou |

| | Hi lilian,
this is not a word by word translation, so what happened is not in the Turkish text, it's more like
Ozan, what is this appearance |
| | 16 Febrero 2009 19:13 |
| | Yes, you're right turkishmiss. But we can't translate it like this. |
| | 17 Febrero 2009 04:42 |
| | I don't see any difference between simple past and present perfect here. |
| | 17 Febrero 2009 17:57 |
| | "The present one is way better"
Is this an idiom?
or is it "you are more better (good-looking) now" ? |
| | 17 Febrero 2009 18:08 |
| | 'The present appearance','The one you have now'. It's what the text says.. I don't know if it's better now or previously.. :-/ |
| | 17 Febrero 2009 18:10 |
| | By the way, "way better" = "much better". OK now? |
| | 17 Febrero 2009 18:57 |
| | I guess "your present appearence" or "actual appearance" would be better because in this case "halin" is not translated, it can only be understood "ÅŸimdiki daha iyi", but what about "halin"? Because the meaning is not that clear at this point, for my opinion. |

| | It's alright now. Thanks cheesecake! |
| | 18 Febrero 2009 05:30 |
| | What's wrong with "way better"? This translation sounds way too formal. My suggestion:
Ozan, what's up with the look?
Why - didn't you like it?
No way - you look better now.
Ha ha - I got it. Thanks.
NOTE: I would not translate "cnm" (canım), because it could be misleading in English. We do not say "dear" or "my dear" between friends - only between (older) lovers or a married couple. I don't think there is a translation for "cnm" in this context. |
