	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Hello spes006 Sorry it has taken me so long to start evaluating this translation - we are dealing with a large backlog of English translations. a few questions to make the English sound better. As I don't understand Turkish, please let me know if my suggestions fit the original: -ask me about unanswered love -ask me about loneliness, ask me about bitterness of heart -ask me about unhappiness - what do you mean by 'pain of the hand was empty'? I see you have not logged in for a while, so while we are trying to improve the translation, I will also start a poll to see if others have a suggestion

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	So instead of 'pain of the hand was empty' you suggest 'ask me about the pain of being abandoned'?

	merdogan Number of messages: 3769	Yes it is. It is an idiom. And your suggestions fit the original. only Line 2: ask me about bitterness of heart ..> ask me about bitter grief.(or ask me about separateness)

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Thank you both! This makes more sense. Can the third line mean both 'being abandoned' and 'losing everything' here?

	Mesud2991 Number of messages: 1331	In Turkish, if your hands are figuratively empty , that means you lost your all.

	merdogan Number of messages: 3769	In this case it is your love.

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	OK - I feel very silly for not seeing this earlier but of course there is a very similar expression in English, which can mean both. How about this? Ask me about the pain of being left empty-handed
