I really wish at some point the review would tell you the correct answer.

After 3 tries could the review tell you the correct answer

bir varmış bir yokmuş ne demek?
olduğunu'le ki arasında ne fark var?
olduğunu'le ki arasında ne fark var?
Justin
Bir varmış bir yokmuş means "once upon a time."
I'm not sure what you're second questions means. Could you clarify? Are you asking about the difference between "olduğunu" and "ki"?

In "Language Points"
sarkiyi guzel soyledi (no accents)
She sang a song prettily
Should this read
She sang the song prettily ?
sarkiyi appears to have a specific object ending

In the review . the last question i confused
between the question and the answers :
mektup and (mektub)
Translate using adverb repetition: she wrote the letter neatly (mektup, temiz) here (mektup)
and then the accepted answers :
Mektubu temiz temiz yazdı. (Mektub)
P and B ?

Merhaba Nur!
You are in luck! Our most recent lesson is about this: https://turkishteatime.com/lesson/123/
In a nutshell, the last letter of some words sometimes changes when you add a suffix. Take a look at Lesson 123 and let us know if you have any questions :)

Thank you :)
Silvia
According to the 3rd question of the review, Yavaş yürüdü means also he walked slowly...
why here you do not add any suffix? is it the suffix only optional?
tesekkurler!

Good question :)
At the bottom of the language points, you'll find the answer (I know it's buried there at the bottom, so it's easy to miss.)
"Sometimes, you'll just see unmodified, un-repeated adjectives serving as adverbs."

I thought geçmek took dan/den hence I would have expected
tavşandan geçmiş
I know we have to say "Biz Boğaziçi köprüsünden geçiyoruz" when we are on the bus !

The meaning changes slightly depending on what suffix the object takes - it's the difference between a direct and indirect object.
-i geçmek = to pass something
-den geçmek = to pass through, over, across something
So, you are passing the rabbit, but passing over ("from") the bridge.
-i geçmek = to pass something
-den geçmek = to pass through, over, across something
So, you are passing the rabbit, but passing over ("from") the bridge.

In the last question of the Review, why is "temizce" not an acceptable way of expressing the adverb?
Justin
Oh, that's perfectly correct. The question just says to specifically use adverb repetition. :)
Öğrenci
Tamam, şimdi anladım. Teşekkürler!

Is there a lesson on where to stick question words like ne, nerede, or kim? I feel like I don't quite get where to stick them and how they change the sentence based on placement.
"When he woke up, the rabbit couldn't catch him. In this way, the rabbit won the race by walking."
