Birkaç sorular Merhaba! I'm just starting out, and can't find a reliable translation for these words: Confusing (adj) "Turkish grammar can be confusing" "What a confusing sentence!" Other (adj) "You should go to the other doctor" "I have an other idea" "I want to go to the other side" "How should I address you?" (phrase) "How should I address him/her?" (phrase) ^^If I don't know what name to use, "bayan" "hanım" "nine" "yenge" etc

# Confusing (adj) : "kafa karıştırıcı". It means something hard to understand or learn, and makes you confused. "Turkish grammar can be confusing." -> "Türkçe gramer kafa karıştırıcı olabilir." "What a confusing sentence!" -> "Kafa karıştırıcı cümle!" or "Ne kadar da kafa karıştırıcı bir cümle." # Other (adj) : "diğer", "başka". It means something different. "You should go to the other doctor" -> "Diğer doktora da gitmelisin." "I have an other idea" -> "Başka bir fikrim daha var!" "How should I address you?" -> "Sana/size nasıl hitap etmeliyim?" "How should I address him/her?" -> "Ona nasıl hitap etmeliyim?" You can call "hanımefendi" to a woman who you don't know well. You shouldn't use just "hanım". Because we use this word to our wife :) It can be perceived as rudeness. The words like "yenge", "nine", "teyze" etc. indicates kinship.
