	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi Turkish experts, Could you check that "I cleaned all my loves for you." It doesn't make sense to me CC: Sunnybebek cheesecake minuet

	minuet Number of messages: 298	Literally, it means "I made a clean/fair copy of all my previous loves with you". It may mean "I forgot/overcome all my previous loves with you".

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	What about: "You made me forget all my former loves" or " I forgot all my former loves because of you"? Does any of them convey the original?

	minuet Number of messages: 298	Yes, I think both of them do.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi aydin, Sometimes we have to use different words or a more common expression in order to sound natural in English (as long as the meaning doesn't change, of course). Do you think that choice does not convey the meaning of the original? CC: aydin1

	User10 Number of messages: 1173	temize Ã§ekmek-> to engross, to transcribe clearly and correctly. Lit: I transcribed clearly on you all my former loves->(mean.)With you I correct (remedy) the mistakes I made/the bad experiences I had with my former loves, or something like that...

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hum...perhaps: "I redeemed from my former loves through you" CC: aydin1 User10

	aydin1 Number of messages: 33	Perhaps "clean slate" can be used. It conveys the literal Turkish "clean" while meaning to make a new copy free of mistakes.

	User10 Number of messages: 1173	I agree with Lilian's suggestion, I think "I redeemed from my former loves through you" is the closest possible.
