Bence,
(Seni ve aileni "etkilemek" iyi oldu.)
şeklinde olmalıydı.

"catch up with", "yetişmek, yakalamak, aynı seviyeye gelmek" anlamına gelir ama. "etkilemek" anlamında kullanıldığını hiç görmedim Merdogan.

Sevgili handyy,
Lütfen (http://www.seslisozluk.com)
adresine bakar mısın?
Aile içinde "yetişmenin" ne olduğunu anlayamadığımdan bu öneride bulundum.

Laura, could you check the accuracy of this translation please? I have never heard, but can "to catch up with" mean "etkilemek" as Merdogan has claimed?

In North American English, "to catch up with someone" means to find out how they are and what they've been doing, especially if you haven't communicated with or seen them for a long time. I don't know if there's a Turkish expression for that.

Well, actually I can't find a suitable word in Turkish, either. But maybe "arayı kapatmak". (I'm not sure though.)

arayı açmak/soğutmak -- uzun zaman birbirini görmemek/görüşmemek (for a friendship)

arayı kapa(t)mak -- görüşmediğin süreyi telafi etmek/o süre zarfı ile ilgili bilgi almak, vs. (for a friendship)

What do you think?

..or better to get another Turkish expert's ideas.

Hazal, could you help me here? What could be the correct verb?

Well, I'm a bit confused too but I think 'arayı kapatmak' is the best solution.
