Burada daha iyidir Türkçe konusmak. Bir yildan önce Türkçe bana çok zordu. Ama simdi Türkçe konusmak daha kolay.

Bu atasözü çok ilginçtir. Bunu seviyorum. Tessekürler.

[QUOTE=William Camden]

Google machine translation:

Fatma tren istasyonuna gitmek gerekir.
Ayşe elma ve armut bir kg ihtiyacı var.
Bazı alışveriş yapmak gerekir.

My own translation:

Fatma'nın istasyona gitmesi lazım.
Ayşe'ye bir kilosu elma ve armut lazım.
Benim biraz alışveriş yapmam lazım.

What is your comment on these translations, William Camden?

Fasulye-Babylonia

Fatma is supposed to go to the station. Fatma has got to go to the station.

Fatma'nın istasyona gitmesi gerek, Fatma'nın istasyona gitmesi lazım, Fatma istasyona gitmeli.

Ayşe needs a kilo of apple and pear.

Ayşe'nin bir kilo elma ve armuta ihtiyacı var.

I've got to do some shopping.

Benim biraz alışveriş yapmam lazım/ Biraz alışveriş yapsam iyi olacak. I better do some shopping.

'Akıl akıldan üstündür' means something like two heads are better than one or each wisdom is better than each other.

I want to add few more quotations which are often used in daily Turkish:

Damlaya damlaya göl olur. : Actually it's something like many a little makes a mickle. If you save money or collect something else, you will eventually have a lot.
Literally it means: It rains and rains and then becomes a lake.

Gün doğmadan neler doğar: It's something like there is always hope even before the sun rises. Tomorrow is another day and literally means lots of things rise before the another day starts/before the sun rises.
