Merhaba!
i have a doubt,
why instead of kimlik numarasımız is kimlik numaramız? isnt it a compound noun?
tesekkurler!

Merhaba Silvia!
Good question. You actually don't put the compound noun suffix when a compound noun is possessed by something. For example,
kimlik = ID
numara = number
kimlik numarası = ID number
benim kimlik numaram = my ID number
onun kimlik numarası = his ID number
bizim kimlik numaramız = our ID number

in the review, second question, 2 answers are correct, but on my ipad i can only choose one. So now I cant get into the 'fun' section.....:(
Justin
Look at the fourth option ;-)
Libbi
Why in the Language Points section under O zaman, the kast sentence is yemek repeated?
Libbi
Sorry, last not kast above.
Justin
Merhaba Libbi! Kind of weird, right? That's actually not a typo. Turkish people actually say this.
Yemek is both a noun that means "food" and a verb that means "to eat." Except, if you're not talking about explicitly what you ate ("Elmayı yedim"), it's common to include "yemek" before the verb. So, you might think of the full verb for "to eat" as "yemek yemek" (literally, to eat food).

In your experience is it better to change money in a bank or a Döviz Bürosu?
Justin
In my experience, the exchange offices have virtually the same rates as the banks in town. Just don't use the ones at the airport.
The absolute best rate can be obtained through black market traders around the Grand Bazaar, but that's probably more trouble than it's worth, not to mention probably illegal.

Hi Justin, here am I with practical informations:
In Turkey it is most times as well possible to excange money at juwelery-shops, which sell /buy gold
If Internet (also in the shops) is available you can have a look to the actuell daily rates.
In the City, where tourists are around some times it is much more expensive to change money oder to take from
automatic shelter.
Sometimes I changed little amounts at the hotel lobby - but you have to be carefully about the rates they ask for.
Greetings

Hi Justin,
My Turkish friends often use milyar instead of bin when they talk money. That is a few orders of magnitude out. Any help on that one? Did they have a currency reform?
Teşekkürler,
Josef

Merhaba Josef - I don't mean to alarm you, but you may be living in the year 2000.
In 2005, there was indeed a currency reform. Here's an article about it:
