Title	HI I already told you in the e-mail ...
Translation English Translated by kafetzou	Target language: English HI I already told you in the e-mail. I don't get along with emre anymore we don't talk anymore that's why I'm in a bad mood do you understand? he was my best friend. Why are you confused? I want you to believe this I really miss you a lot. You don't have to believe me but this is part of life. As realistic as life is, that's how truly I miss you...If you still say you don't believe me yet. There's nothing else I can do but miss you...It's not easy for me to forget what we experienced don't forget this...maybe for you it was just a one-night stand but for me it was of life-long value... bye for now...I won't forget you
Remarks about the translation	I tried to translate this with the same style as the original - missing punctuation, missing capital letters, and run-on sentences. I think it's still understandable in English.

	smy Number of messages: 2481	the translation sticks to the source text in every aspect but I think the following suggestions would make it sound better (whatever the source text looks): 1. If you still say you don't believe me, there's nothing else I can do but miss you... instead "If you still say you don't believe me yet. There's nothing else I can do but miss you" 2. I won't forget what we experienced it's not that easy to forget these things... this part has mistakes. The correct way is: "don't forget that it's not easy for me to forget what we have experienced"

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Your suggestions make it read more smoothly, as I could have done, too, but the Turkish original is not smooth. That's why I translated it the way I did (see my comment under the translation). You're right that I made a mistake on the second one you quoted above, but I don't think it's right the way you wrote it either. I have fixed it. It nows says: I won't forget what we experienced it's not that easy don't forget this. Do you think it's still understandable in English, Dramati? Also, Dramati, what did you change?

	smy Number of messages: 2481	but it doesn't say "unutmayacaÄŸÄ±m", it says "unutmam" (for me to forget). as in this example: "bunu unutmam o kadar kolay deÄŸil=it's not so easy for me to forget this"

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Oh - I see. I thought it was "unutmam" as in the simple present form of the verb, but I see that you have interpreted it as the gerund form with the possessive "my". Aren't both interpretations possible? Anyway, I will change it.
