Ã–leceÄŸimi zannettiÄŸim bir gÃ¼ndÃ¼. Ã–ncesinde, uykusuz bir gece geÃ§irmiÅŸtim. Yorgundum. ArtÄ±k Ã¶ÄŸle saatleriydi. BÃ¼romdan Ã§Ä±kmÄ±ÅŸ ve yemek yiyebileceÄŸim ucuz bir yer arÄ±yordum. KalabalÄ±k yerler genellikle tercihim deÄŸildi. BÃ¼romun bulunduÄŸu civardan epeyce uzaklaÅŸtÄ±m. Kentin yoksul kesiminin yaÅŸadÄ±ÄŸÄ± mahallelerin birinde, bÄ±Ã§aklÄ± genÃ§lerin ortasÄ±nda buldum bir anda kendimi. Birileri yolumu kesmiÅŸti. Keskin gÃ¶zleri Ã¼zerime Ã§evrilmiÅŸti. Ã–leceÄŸimi zannediyordum.

It was a day I thought

Translation

Target language: English

It was a day I thought I was going to die. Before that, Iâ€™d had a sleepless night. I was tired. Now it was around noon. I left my office and was looking for a cheap place to have lunch. Crowded places were usually not my choice. I went quite far from my office. All of a sudden, I found myself in one of the neighborhoods where the lower class people lived, among youngsters with knives. Some people blocked my path. Their sharp eyes were turned against me. I thought I was going to die

	kfeto Number of messages: 953	hello silkworm i had a few suggestions you could consider maybe it should read just 'youngsters with knives' no 'the' since it's an undefined group 'some of them blocked my path'

	silkworm16 Number of messages: 172	oh yes thank you, you're right about the define article. I will edit it. to block one's path is a better choice as well, but I am not sure about translating as "some people " or "some of them" because I couldn't understand what's exactly meant by "birileri" and so I translated it like that. why didn't the narrator say "birkaÃ§Ä±" then?

	kfeto Number of messages: 953	yeah, thats true, birileri means somepeolpe well i live in belguim and the turkish spoken here is sometimes grammatically 'wrong', i hear/use myself birileri used like that(some of them) althetime thats maybe why i interpreted like that i didnt even notice till you just pointed it out...
