Title	yanlÄ±ÅŸlÄ±kla olmuÅŸ ben bulium
Text Submitted by vovere	Source language: Turkish yanlÄ±ÅŸlÄ±kla olmuÅŸ ben bulium

Title	It was a mistake - I'll find it.
Translation English Translated by kafetzou	Target language: English It was a mistake - I'll find it.
Remarks about the translation	There is a mistake in the original. The word "bulium" doesn't exist in Turkish. If it was supposed to be "bulayÄ±m", as I had assumed, then this translation is correct. If, on the other hand, it was supposed to be "buldum", then the translation should be "I found it."

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Aha - you're right - it might have been that. That would change the translation to "I found (it)." I'll ask the requester if she's sure that she copied it correctly.

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Hi all I think you are right Laura. We say "buliim" in daily spoken language which means "bulayÄ±m". There is just a typo. So, it would be better to tranlate it as "Let me find it.". Because if we said "I will find it", then the meaning becomes "BulacaÄŸÄ±m.".

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Not necessarily, handyy. "I'll find it" can have the meaning of future, but it can also have the meaning of volunteering, as when someone says, "I'll do it!" "Let me find it" means "Give me permission to find it" - it is not the singular of "let's".
