Hi kfeto

There seems to be something missing from your text, either at the beginning:

(for instance) "They asked if we would list, by subject, the reasons..."

or at the end (and in this case the word "would" seems superfluous:

"If we list, by subject, the reasons... ...for their holidays, it is because...

See what I mean?

I've set a poll, as my Turkish is just up to "merhaba".

merhaba tantine,
the sourcetext as submitted is incomplete
in english you have the options you listed above.
taking into account the turkish, i think there can only be a missing part such that the sentence would be: "if we would....(missing part> )then...."
a cause-effect relationship
there's also another possibility(i had considered):
that the verb 'sıralarsak' is misspelled and should be 'siralasak' then it would be a kind of self-encouragement: the 'cohortative mood'(i had to look this up;-))
so in english: let's , why don't we or if only we would
the last one i decided to use leaving out the only so both possibilities were somewhat covered.
the poll it is then

Hi,
I think putting ellipsis at the end of the sentence would solve "the missing" problem here and indicate the incompleteness in the translation as well.

If we would list, by subject, the reasons why tourists prefer Antalya for their holidays...

Merhaba kfeto

Two great words in the same discussion thread, "cohortative" is not too bad itself (I had to look it up too .

I'd still prefer that we remove the "would" at the beginning of the text, as it make the phrase "unwieldy".

"maddeler halinde" değil de "başlıklar halinde sıralarsak" diye yazardım ben olsam.

ok tantine, removed 'would'
hello serba, would 'arranged by title' or 'under/with separate headings' or something like that be ok?

Hi kfeto

For me, either would be fine, so choose the one that sticks the closest to the Turkish . In case of you choosing the second of your suggestions it would read best using "under".

Bises (Tell me how to write/say that in Turkish, then I can greet you other than in French)
