Ooh Lilian, don't be so quick, the short ones are a piece of cake for me!

I think it should be 'I wanted to be there too' instead of would like. It says ister-d-im, which is in the past tense. If it had been 'I would like to be there too' it should be 'ben de orada olmak istiyorum'

Oh, sorry, you are right.
I was so used to set polls immediately after checking the English in order to avoid that awful backlog that it's automatic.
Now that I know I'll have help with the evaluations I'll leave these to you, OK?

Hi Chantal!

If it were "I wanted", there would be used "istedim", not "isteRdim". And "istiyorum" refers to present: "I want". And this "isteRdim" refers to subjunctive mood in Turkish. If I'm a bit incorrect, I hope our Turkish experts will correct me

I'm sorry Sunnybebek, I'm sure your Turkish is better than mine I just thought this was the way it worked, but let's ask a Turkish expert then!

Sorry, I was late. The pages were open but I was dealing with something else.

You already validated this one, but still let me explain that this one is correct as it is now.
