"preparing" sounds weird here. Could it be: "draw" or "paint"?
also your second option for the last line is better (using the verb 'to be' ), but "much' is not necessary, I'd say:
"I can't explain how happy I am/was"
What do you say? | | | 3 July 2009 15:36 | | | Hi Lilly!
You are right, "preparing" doesn't sound natural here. And I would have translated it as "drawing" or "painting", but "hazırladığın" (hazırlamak) means "prepare, arrange, etc.", so I was confused a bit.
And if it was meant "draw", I guess it should have been used the other verb in the original (çizmek, yapmak).
Can we translate it as "arrange"? Because I think it is not obviouse from the text that the person drew the picture him/herself.

@Cursed... what do you think? CC: CursedZephyr | | | 3 July 2009 15:44 | | | You are right, Lilly, thanks! | | | 3 July 2009 15:57 | | | Yes, "prepare" is not suitable for this sentence. But, we don't know exactly what the person is trying to say. "hazırlamak" is "to prepare,to arrange,to make", that's right. And what we know about the picture is that it isn't taken,drawn or painted. Maybe some changes were made on the picture and it was given as a present, we can say. | | | 3 July 2009 16:13 | | | Well...I think "for getting that picture for me" would solve the issue. | | | 3 July 2009 16:26 | | | Thanks Lilly and Cursed! | | | 3 July 2009 22:14 | | | "getting this picture" is actaully "preparing this picture".
