Welcome to Turkish Tea Time, where we can't go one lesson without making a typo. It's actually a feature to keep users on their toes. . . :-/

ecek/acak is the future tense. Buradan alacağım = I will buy from here.

Hey there,
Did you disconnect the search funktion ?
Love your service
Mar 10, 2014
Justin
Thanks Jacob! The search function is working okay for me. Do you remember your search term? I can check to see if that's causing the problem.

Hi Again Justin
Found out it is only on my iPad I can't get to work. Programming? or maybe my iPad?

Justin
@Josef - sağ olun. All fixed.

@Jacob - It must be something wrong on our end, but without an ipad here to test with, it's really tough to figure that out. I'll see if I can't get my hands on one and debug it. Thanks for following up!

@Jacob - just tested the search function out on an ipad with the latest OS. There wasn't a problem, so maybe it's not on our end after all. Sorry I can't be of more help.

In the Review section, question #2 ... should the answer that is shown as being 'correct' have the dative ending? "Biz kendi kendimiz-E aldik"? thanks!
Mar 17, 2014
Justin
Yep, all fixed. Çok teşekkür ederiz! Surprised nobody mentioned that until now.

Hi I'm just curious will this work for the United Kingdom

Krallık Birleşik

Birleşik Krallık

BK'den
May 29, 2014
Justin
Birleşik Krallık is correct.

Krallık birleşik is a sentence: The kingdom is united.

After asking Büşra and googling around, it doesn't look BK is being used by anyone. BK is, however, used for Burger King ;-)

I don't come from Burger king But My Nephew of 8 certainly does.

So, Kendisi gidecek could mean (o) kendisi gidecek, i.e. he/she will go by him/herself, OR he/she will go (use as subject).
Right? If so, you just have to guess which one from the context?

Justin
Aynen öyle. That's exactly right.

ABD’dekinin iki katı.
I dont understand why the -n-in is on the end of ABD ===
I understand Mac'ın fıyatı. I just do not understand why there is the possesive on ABD. Could you help clarify?

^ It's the same possessive as Mac'ın. ABD'dekinin gets translated as "the one's (price) from the US." The possessive, even in English, remains, even if the exact nature of "one" (in this case, a Mac) is already clear based on context.

I believe it's explained in the dialogue :)
