hi sirinler

well i wanted to do this one to till i realised it wasn't that simple.
so thanks for biting the bullet:-)

maybe 'already' instead of 'from now'
and just 'miss' not have missed

i dont't know what baymak means (to be bothered, bored?)
but 'are bothered' is prob better

sirin kal ;-)

Hi sirinler hi kfeto

I'm glad you are both biting bullets, because this is going to need a bit of "surgery" lol

I think that if the word could be "bored" it would be better than "bothered", which doesn't make any sense to me

If we decide that it is indeed "bored", we have to change "have" to "are", so the phrase would read:

"you are probably bored there"

There seems to be something missing in this bit or it is badly formulated, "I have missed there from now." I don't really know what you mean

Baymak, the verb that this apparently comes from, means to turn someone off, so "oralari simdidenn sn simdi baymissindr bile orda buuk ihtimal" would mean "you must have even turned that place off by now" - but that still makes no sense.

That of course only works if you divide the sentence where I did. It's a guess at best. I'm beginning to think this one should be removed from the site. The original is in SMS and has errors - it's too hard to figure out what was meant.

Something else:

olmm geldm bn istanbula osledmm lan --> dude, I got to Istanbul. I had missed it, man.

i've arrived in istanbul, i miss that place already, you're probably bored by it(or "by now you must be turned down by the place, no doubt" ).
the place being missed and being bored by is not istanbul but the place where the adressee lives and the writer has departed from but how express that clearly?

Hi Kafetzou, kfeto, sirinler

What about "Man, I've arrived in Istanbul, I'm missing home already and you must be turned off by the place by now"

I'm confused. It says "baymışsın", right? Is that "you have turned (it) off" or "you are turned off (by it)"?

Tantine, it doesn't say what place s/he misses - it just says "that place", which is expressed with the word "oralari", but that could be the object of "I miss" or "you've turned off". It's another best guess one.

i don't know the meaning of baymak here

it literally says "you are <turned off> there" so the second option you gave kafetzou is more likely, no? it being the place

My dictionary says that "baymak" means "to turn somebody off", not "to be turned off by somebody". Is it wrong?

I don't understand your note above. Why do you say you don't know the meaning of baymak, and then you say what it literally means? Do you or don't you know the meaning?

According to TDK Sözlük:

baymak (hlk) (Yiyecek) Baygınlık vermek, mideyi bulandırmak, midede ezinti yapmak.

So it means to make somebody feel sick, not to feel sick oneself.

Turkish experts, can you help?

We're just trying to understand it.

As it stands now, it is definitely wrong. There is no mention of "home" in the original.

my final suggestion on this:

i've arrived in istanbul, i miss being there already, by now you're probably already turned down by the place

"turned down" doesn't work in English, but I think we're getting closer. I'd like to wait for at least one of the Turkish experts to express an opinion here.

bence baymak burada sıkılmak anlamında

yani sen orada sıkılmışsındır demek istiyor
arkadaşı gitmiş kalan kişinin de yalnız kalıp canının sıkılacağını söylüyor bence.


örneğin:
burası beni baydı:burası beni sıktı anlamındadır.

Thanks, serba. I think I'm going to pass the translation with no rating at this point.
