Hi theatomicant,

You have to leave a space after commas and periods.

Altough ---> although

I feel like that I know ---> I feel as if I 've known

"Although I've just met you, I feel like I've known you for a long time." daha uygun olmaz mı acaba? Ne dersin theatomicant?

"Although I've just met you" kısmında haklısın minuet.I feel like kısmını da lilian canale'ın önerisi üzerine değiştirmiştim."As if" ya da "feel like" bir anlam farkı yok sanırım...Sen ne dersin?

Evet haklısın, ikisi de aynı anlama geliyor gibi. Arada küçük bir fark varsa da ana dili ingilizce olan biri bu soruya cevap verebilir sanırım. Yalnız google'dan "i feel like I" diye arattım 12 milyon sonuç çıktı, "I feel as if I" diye arattım 1,4 milyon sonuç çıktı. Hiçbirşey ifade etmeyebilir tabii

Could you please post in English? I can't read Turkish and honestly, I'm curious about what you are talking about.

Hi, lilian canale, we wonder if there is a slight difference of the meaning when we use "I feel like I" or "I feel as if I". The first one is more common due to the google search but it doesn't proof something anyway.

Actually there's a quite big difference about those forms. You certainly found more entries using "feel like" because it's a phrasal verb which is largely used meaning "I'm in the mood for", but in this line the correct expression to convey the meaning of "having the impression" is as I suggested.

In other words
"Although I've just met you, I feel as if I've known you for a long time." could be expressed as:
"Despite the short time I've known you, my impression (feeling) is that I've known you for a lot longer"
Does this convey the original?

Hi,

Shouldn't it be "I feel as if I had known you for a long time." Because it's just an impression as you say.

Hi Rise, verb tenses in English are a bit complicated, aren't they?

Your sentence would be perfect if the verb was "meet" instead of "know"
"I feel as if I had met you a long time ago"
