O Geese
by Luo Binwang

O geese, O geese, O geese!
You crane your neck and sing to sky your song sweet.
Your white feathers float on green water with ease.
You swim through clear waters with your red-webbed feet.

Eid al-Fitr 🕌🎈

Herkese merhaba.Bu gün harika bir şiir ile Türkçe’de “if clause” cümlelerini
öğreneceğiz. Hadi başlayalım!
Koşul veya şart kelimeleri İngilizce’de “condition” demek.
Türkçe’de if clause yani koşul cümlesi kurmak aslında çok kolay: sadece if
clause cümlesinin sonuna -sa/-se koşul ekini getiriyoruz. Şu örneğe bakalım :
Yağmur yağar > It rains
Dışarı çıkmam. > I don’t go out.
Koşul cümlemiz “ yağmur yağar”.Yani bu cümlenin sonuna -sa /-se ekini
getiriyoruz.
Yağmur yağarsa dışarı çıkmam. > It means “If it rains ,I won’t go out.”

Melih Cevdet Anday’ın “ Çok güzel şey” şiirinde birçok if clause yani koşul
cümlesi var. Hadi inceleyelim.

Yaşamak güzel şey doğrusu, - In fact , it’s a good thing to be alive
Üstelik hava da güzelse, - Additionally if the weather is nice
Hele gücün kuvvetin yerindeyse - especially if you’re strong
Elin ekmek tutmuşsa bir de - plus if you earn your bread
Hele tertemizse gönlün - especially if your heart is pure
Hele kar gibiyse alnın - especially if your forehead is like snow
Yani kendinden korkmuyorsan - So if you’re not afraid of yourself
Kimseden korkmuyorsan dünyada - if you’re not afraid of anyone in the world
Dostuna güveniyorsan - if you trust your best friend
İyi günler bekliyorsan hele - especially if you expect good days
İyi günlere inanıyorsan- if you believe in good days
Üstelik hava da güzelse- additionally if the weather is nice
Yaşamak güzel şey - It’s a good thing to be alive
Çok güzel şey doğrusu! - It’s a very beautiful thing , actually.

Şiirden bazı deyimler :
gücü kuvveti yerinde olmak: (lit)someone’s power is on its place.
It means one is still physically avaliable to do daily duties or one is still


The music : from my heart
Musician : bdksonic
energetic.
alnı kar gibi olmak: this comes from “alnı ak olmak”. :According to the
understanding, if you haven’t done anything bad to be ashamed of, if you’re
honorable, your forehead is white / bright.

Some animals have been known to use tools such as sticks, rocks and even bait to hunt for food. And humpback whales have been found using their own unique tool to hunt — bubbles.

A study published in Royal Society Open Science in August observed the hunting behaviors of more than 70 humpback whales in Stephens Passage in southeast Alaska, documenting how the whales blow bubbles to catch more prey.

Humpback whales hunt for krill — small, shrimp-like creatures that are around the same size as a paperclip, and which swim in swarms.

Whales can take in large amounts of krill in one mouthful. And to make this easier, humpback whales trap swarms of krill in "bubble nets" before feeding on them.

The whales create these "nets" by releasing air from their blowhole as they swim in circles below the surface of the water. The bubbles rise in a spiral pattern, which, from above the water's surface, looks more like artwork than a tool for hunting.

The rising bubbles create "curtains" of air around the krill that they are reluctant to swim through, although researchers aren't yet sure why this is. The whales then swim up through the "net" with an open mouth to eat the trapped krill.

The study data showed that as a whale swam in tighter circles and the "net" got smaller, the krill caught inside became, on average, more than seven times denser. This allowed the whales to catch more krill in a single mouthful.

A whale doesn't have to move very fast to create a net or eat trapped krill, allowing it to get more food without using any more energy.

While not many other animals create their own tools to catch prey like the humpback whale, there are examples of animals using other tools to hunt.

For example, chimpanzees have been observed using sticks to dig for bugs, while sea otters use rocks to open mussels. Certain species of heron have even been found to use food as bait to attract fish.
