Cumartesi Cumartesi sabah sınavım vardı. Sınava gidince trende kötü hissettim. ‘’Sınavı giremem’’diye düşündüm, ama çok şükür devam ettim. Yavaş yavaş daha iyi hissettim. Okula varınca tamamen iyidim. Sınav çok uzun zaman sürdü. Nasıl geçti bilmiyorum. Sonuç bir ay sonra çıkacak. Bu sınav benim okuduğum üniversitedeyidi. Üniversitede eski hocalarımı görüşüp onlarla sohbet ettim, sevindim. Öğlende bir arkadaşımla görüşüp fuara gidecektim, ama sabah kötü hissedince ona mesaj atıp ‘’belki gelemem’’ ona yazdım. Sınav bitince iyi olduğumdan dolayı ona aradım, ‘’ben iyiyim, görüşelim’’ dedim. Beraber yemek yedik. Öğleden sonra Çin spada masaj için onun randevusu vardı. Beraber gittik: onlar hep Çinlilerdi, herkes Wenzhou’lu. Onlarla Çincede sohbet ettim. Çok enteresant, ama biraz üzüldüm: onların hiç tatili yok, abartmıyorum! Ne Pazar ne her hangi bir günün tatili var!Senede sadece bir gün tatili var: Noel’de! İmkansız! Spadan çıktık’tan sonra marketeye alış veriş yapmaya gittik, çünkü akşam başka arkadaşlarımız’la beraber yemek yiyecektik. Bol bol yeyip muhabbet ettik. O kadar konuştük ya, zaman uçtu! Çok güzel bir akşamdı.

Age: a Relative Concept (part one) It’s interesting to observe how differently the age of a person is considered in different cultures and which things are related to that age according to a certain culture. Is a thirty years old individual young or not really young? Is a sixty years old individual old or not really old? In my experience, the society you grow up in effects on the perception of you have of people age and the expectations you have for that age. Let’s consider a thirty years old girl/woman. In my country, Italy , people look at her as a girl or a young woman, who whether is married or not is not significant. But in a country like China, Pakistan and sometimes Turkey too, it is very significant (I named these countries because I know better their cultures). I have been living in China for five years and I can say that not been married at the age of thirty in China is considered quite abnormal. It doesn’t matter you want to marry or not, you fall in love with someone or not, you finished your studies or not, you are ready for that or not, you have got to marry, because “you are already thirty years old”. This is what Chinese think. Even if this kind of mentality is far away from my mentality it did effect on me somehow. I started thinking ‘maybe I am not that young anymore’. As for people after fifty years old, in my country, especially ladies, they like to think they are young and strong even when not, they try their best to wear clothes and do make up to look like younger. If a forty years old woman gives her sit to her, in some cases she will feel a kind of disappointed and maybe will not sit, in order to show she is not “old”. But in China is very different. This is connected to the different conception of elders. Elders are wise and young people have to show high respect of them and learn from them, elders are a step higher then young people. So what happen is that people sometime even abuse of power related to their age. Ladies after forties become the queens of public transport: even if they are healthy, energetic and all except from old, they will frown at you if you don’t give them your sit, because that’s a matter of respect! By having contacts with people from different countries I realized how relative the perception of the age is.

beni ektiler Bugün enteresan bir gündü: bir günde iki kişi beni ektiler. Ama beni ektiğiler için hiç kızmadım çünkü sebep vardı. Sabah Taiwanlı arkadaşım evime çince çalışmaya yardım etmeye gelecekti, ama gelmeden 10 dakika önce bana telefon etti ‘’Gelemem canım, evde işlerim çok fazla, biteremem!Kusura bakma’’ diye söyledi. Erken bilseydem, bir daha uyuyabilirdim diye düşündüm, bir de bugün sabah çok iyi hissetmiyordum. Ama onun çocukları var, ayrıca o benim 10 sene arkadaşımdır. Ona kızamam o gelmeseydi demek ki gerçekten gelemedi. Bugün akşam benim başka arkadaşım akşam yemeğine evime gelecekti, ama morali bozuktan dolayı gelmedi. Yazık ona: dün çok önemli bir sınavdan geçmediğini öğrendi. Bugün evden çıkmak canı istemiyordu, çok ağladı. Ona çok üzuldüm. Sonuç bugün bütün gün evde tek kaldım. Ama tek kalmak bazen o kadar fena değil :)

Please reply to my question http://www.italki.com/answers

How to distinguish masculine and feminine nouns? Most nouns ending in "a" or "h" sound are masculine and those ending in "i" are feminine, but how about the words ending with other letters, like "zabaan"? To form the plural of a noun I need to know its gender. My question is how to know it?
