|
| | 3 May 2008 11:33 |
| | OK now how about "I'm coming to Canada 4 months later."? |

it says "to canada" because of the -ya after canada= dative case in turkish
otherwise it has another uhm adult meaning
also i am studying perhaps since it is present continous. i study would be okumaktayim or okurum |
| | 3 May 2008 17:12 |
| | I am studying in Turkey but I am coming to Canada 4 months later.
Since this one is meaning only, I think it sounds better like this :
I am studying in Turkey but I will come to Canada in 4 months from now.

| | Hey guys, all your suggestions can be valid, but what we have to decide is:
1- the person says that s/he is studying in Turkey (now) but will go back to Canada in four months (4 months from now)
2- the person has spent 4 months studying in Turkey and now s/he is going back to Canada.
What is the right idea here??? |

| | Great! so, let's put an end on this odyssey and validate it as:
"I'm studying in Turkey. But I am going to Canada in 4 months" |
| | 3 May 2008 23:25 |
| | ok ,but "to come to Canada" and "to go to Canada" hasn't the same meaninng in the Turkish language.
to come to Canada= Kanada'ya gelmek
to go to Canada = Kanada'ya gitmek
Dear lilian ,because of that ı don't agree your choice. |
| | 3 May 2008 23:28 |
| | Merdogan,
if you say "come to Canada" is because you are in Canada. See what I mean?
Is the person in Canada or in Turkey? |
| | 3 May 2008 23:39 |
| | Now is in Turkey but after 4 months will be in Canada.
|
| | 3 May 2008 23:51 |
| | I bag your pardon, but if you are in Canada
how can you say "ı will come to Canada" ,
This person is in Turkey. After his/her study (perhaps because of Sokrates/Erasmus educations projects) he/she wants to go to Canada (or turn back).
|
| | 4 May 2008 00:04 |
| | I see you don't understand what I mean.
Let me try to explain in a different way, OK?
I don't know if in Turkish there is a difference about the "direction" someone is towards.
The difference I want you to understand between "go" and "come" is that when you use come, like in: Come here!, Come with me! you are calling the person to where you are, right?
When you use "go" you mean leaving the place you are and head to another place like in: Go away! Go out! (leave this place)
If the person is in Turkey, in four months s/he will be going to Canada. You can use " arriving in Canada if you want, but "coming in Canada" is not correct.
See what I mean?
Maybe using "arriving" would be better. |
| | 4 May 2008 01:02 |
| | ok
what do you say for the difference between;
ı will come in Canada(come)
and
ı will go to Canada(go)
at least , s/he now is in Tutkey and after four months s/he will go to Canada. But text says " will come in Canada" |
| | 4 May 2008 01:10 |
| | Merdogan,
gelmek could also be translated as arrive, so as lilian said before you can use "arriving in canada".
Lilian,
Maybe you should edit in this way.
|
| | 4 May 2008 01:16 |
| | Hello Lilian, the speaker is talking to anyone who lives in Canada. So he/she said "come".
But..merdogan, why do you write "come IN Canada" so consistently? |
| | 4 May 2008 01:24 |
| | Merdogan,
"I'm coming in Canada" is definitely wrong.
The correct preposition should be: "to"
You can say:
1- I will go to Canada
2- I will be in Canada
3- I will come to Canada
4- I will arrive in Canada
I believe one of these will convey the meaning.
