hi lilian
well i didn't get it either, it doesnt make sense in turkish either, maybe it's supposed to be poetry

at first i had read "ana kadar" which does make sense but fuyaka corrected me on it

maybe its a typo, ill put it in remarks

can we use "Life that you said is about a moment the raindrop hits the ground.."?yani Ömür dediğin damlanın toprağa değdiği an kadar(dır) desek olur mu?ya da Life that you said is as moment

Oh..OK, now it makes more sense, however I'd say that differently:
"What you call life lasts no longer than the time a raindrop takes to hit the ground..."

What do you think?
