This doesn't sound very natural
The syntax is awkward.
Is the line being addressed to Mrs. Semra?
What is the real meaning of the line in different words? | | | 17 November 2009 22:01 | | | Yes it's quite weird in Turkish too.. it seems more like a conversation than a 'formal text' in an e-mail:
semra hanım pazar günü lütfen buluşalım toplantımız var
hanim is a formal way of saying 'mrs/miss', pazar gunu is sunday, lutfen is 'please', bulusalim - let's meet, toplantimiz var - we've got a meeting.
maybe: Let's meet on Sunday please, we've got a meeting. But the 'lutfen' should then be after 'bulusalim', which is why I translated it like this, as if it's more pleading? | | | 17 November 2009 22:31 | | | Hum... let's set a poll and see what the community offers to help
I'll just edit Sunday and change the punctuation a bit, OK?
Before:
"Mrs. Semra let's please meet on sunday, we've got a meeting. | | | 18 November 2009 00:00 | | | we've got a meeting...>we will have our meeting. | | | 18 November 2009 06:32 | | | Oh yes you're right merdogan.. | | | 18 November 2009 11:14 | | | I agree with merdogan.
It should be: we will have a meeting. |
