Evet haklisin, oylesi daha dogru. Fakat bizim bu haliyle yazmamızın nedeni bu diyaloğun Noobie'ler için hazırlanmış olması. Onlara daha -mi nin yer değiştirebildiğini gostermedik.

Every time I try to download the guided speaking it gives me this message: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below". Do you know what the problem is?
Öğrenci
how come I can't open the fun page?
asfandyar
i can't open it as well.
Justin
And you've completed the quiz right? It's working for me when I complete the quiz. If it's not opening for you, it must be a bug, Let me know, and I'll look into it.
asfandyar
i made some mistakes in this quiz but the previous quiz which i answered all right, didn't open the fun tab as well.
Öğrenci

There is also some special about the "click".
Germans swing the head towards the sides -meaning "NO".
Turks do the "click" with a short vertikal bowing the head a little into the neck, while doing the "click" meaning "NO".

The first question in the REFIEW confused me; I did'nt check whats the quastion is asking for:
gelmiyorum (the e-vowel of -me) has to be shortend before (-iyor).
The stress in speaking changes to gel, isn't it ?

Sorry about that - I reworded the question to make it more clear.
I don't think I understand your question exactly, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Basically, the question is asking how the negative -me suffix combines with present continuous -iyor.

Yes indeed, that's it:
"Basically, the question is asking how the negative -me suffix combines with present continuous -iyor."
Thanks a lot!

Merhaba!
I get from the lesson that hayır and yok are interchangeable, but I'm wondering if hayır can ever come across as abrupt? For example when refusing an offer, such as ın a restaurant 'çay ister misiniz?'--I hear people using yok in that situation--what do you usually say?

Good catch. Instinctively, I would personally say "yok" - and hayır does sound a bit curt to me. However, as in all cases colloquial - we go to Busra, who had this to say:
"He is right. We use "yok" if you are refusing an offer. But if we are refusing an argument, we more often use "hayır." But both are grammatical in either situations - they just differ in pragmatic import."

Hmm, so quite a subtle difference! That's very helpful, thanks.
