	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Could we say "Don't call me again, and go to your bartender's side ..." ?

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Ah - you don't think "barmeninin yanÄ±na" goes with "arama"?

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Yep, it seems a bit strange - or am I missing something there?

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Do you think the text is cut off at the end? Or maybe there's a mistake and it was supposed to be "yanÄ±nda"?

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	I think "barmeninin yanÄ±na" is just used to form a rhyme with "arama bidaha". There is no relationship between them. If we added "now go to your bartender's side!", it wouldn't be wrong in my opinion. I don't know what else it could mean.

	merdogan Number of messages: 3769	I suppose it is " Barmeninin yanÄ±ndan beni bir daha arama" "Don't call me again when you are your bartender's side. "

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Nope merdogan, he wants her not to call him not only when she is her bartender's side, but never and ever!

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Lilian, I still think the translation is correct. What handyy is suggesting is a real departure from what is actually written there, which doesn't totally make sense. My translation is what it actually says (as you can see from gulshah's translation). As for whether it should be "man" or "girl", it's just a genderless exclamation in Turkish, so maybe it should be something like "gosh" or "argghh". CC: lilian canale

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	"Don't call me again to your bartender's side" means "Don't ask me to come to your bartender's side", am I wrong? But what is meant there with "call" is to communicate with someone (by telephone). That's why I said that it should be changed. Maybe "Don't call me again! ...to your bartender's side."

	merdogan Number of messages: 3769	My choice is 'Yah' for 'Man' and I agree with handy.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	"Yah" means "yes", merdogan. I've changed "man" to "oof", although "man" is certainly what I would use in this situation. It doesn't have anything to do with gender when it's used as an expletive. handyy, I took your suggestion and put in the ellipsis marks (...), and I added a note in the comments box.
