| | Hi CursedZephyr, please leave a space after periods and commas, also:
What's happened
What happened |
| | 16 February 2009 17:01 |
| | 'What "has" happened?' Isn't it possible? :S |
| | 16 February 2009 17:45 |
| | Yes, it's possible. Is it the case here? a present perfect tense? |
| | 16 February 2009 17:47 |
| | Yes, it is. Actually, it was. |
| | 16 February 2009 17:50 |
| | Kafetzou? Is that present perfect or simple past? CC: kafetzou |

| | Hi lilian,
this is not a word by word translation, so what happened is not in the Turkish text, it's more like
Ozan, what is this appearance |
| | 16 February 2009 19:13 |
| | Yes, you're right turkishmiss. But we can't translate it like this. |
| | 17 February 2009 04:42 |
| | I don't see any difference between simple past and present perfect here. |
| | 17 February 2009 17:57 |
| | "The present one is way better"
Is this an idiom?
or is it "you are more better (good-looking) now" ? |
| | 17 February 2009 18:08 |
| | 'The present appearance','The one you have now'. It's what the text says.. I don't know if it's better now or previously.. :-/ |
| | 17 February 2009 18:10 |
| | By the way, "way better" = "much better". OK now? |
| | 17 February 2009 18:57 |
| | I guess "your present appearence" or "actual appearance" would be better because in this case "halin" is not translated, it can only be understood "ÅŸimdiki daha iyi", but what about "halin"? Because the meaning is not that clear at this point, for my opinion. |

| | It's alright now. Thanks cheesecake! |
| | 18 February 2009 05:30 |
| | What's wrong with "way better"? This translation sounds way too formal. My suggestion:
Ozan, what's up with the look?
Why - didn't you like it?
No way - you look better now.
Ha ha - I got it. Thanks.
NOTE: I would not translate "cnm" (canım), because it could be misleading in English. We do not say "dear" or "my dear" between friends - only between (older) lovers or a married couple. I don't think there is a translation for "cnm" in this context. |
