| Since some of the Turkish characters cannot be visualised correctly I have changed them into some capital letters. The capital letter"I" stands for the lower case "i" without a dot. And "S" stands for "s" with a cedilla. "G" stands for "g" with breve. |

| Translation of the Dialogue N: Hi Omer! How are you? O: I am fine, and you? N: Not bad. What did you do today? O: I went to the cinema with my (elder) sister's daughters. The film was funny. N: I used to go to the cinema very often before but I don't have spare time any more. O: You supposedly went to the theatre with Rafet two weeks ago. Right? N: Oh yes. That's right. I had felt rather bored that day (before we went to the theatre). We are going (to the theatre) once more next week. Would you like to come too? O: I can't. N: Why? O: I'll be in Ankara next week; but, I'll let you know if there happens to be a change (in the program). N: OK. Agreed. Would your (elder) sister like to come with us to the theatre? O: I don't think so. She doesn't like the theatre very much. N: I see.. Why don't you sit down? Anything to drink? O: I can have a cup of tea if there is some. N: There isn't any tea but I can make coffee if you like. O: Why not? Thanks a lot. |
