A little about myself personally. I am married (I actually met my husband on italki, so yeah thanks italki... and I have 3 children (almost 4). I have an 18 year old son, 12 year old daughter, 4 year old son, and I will have another son in about another month. I would prefer a female language partner with similar status as me, because I am not able to chat a lot with so many to take care of. In fact FB is the easiest way to message me, as I don't sign into italki unless I am expecting someone or have an appointment. I will accept a FB friend request if you message me first and tell me you are from italki. I can help you with English as well. I am a native speaker (West Coast style ha ha ha), but I have lived in Texas awhile... so if you want to learn some Southern culture/slang I got you covered on that end too. Here is my FB URL: https://www.facebook.com/tatiana.owenby I am looking for a language partner to teach me Arabic. I am studying for my Masters in Cultural Anthropology now and my regional focus is North Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Turkey. However, at this time, Classical Arabic is my target language for now because it encompasses a broad spectrum of several different cultures. Right now, I have yet to begun my linguistic training, but I wish to start like a baby. Learning the alphabet and to write... You know... I am a baby just learning a new language.

    Turkish Poem There is a TV series I was watching called: Muhteşem Yüzyıl. Especially for the poems. There is a poem during Hafsa Valide Sultan's death scene... I can't understand it. Could a native Turkish speaker, help by writing it in Turkish and English. I know that is a lot of work, but I really want to be able to understand it. Teşekkür. The link to the poem is here, but it does not start until around 7:45 https://youtu.be/9YYpJ1Q3qBw

    I have a question about dialect. Is there a particular dialect (aside from standard) that is used for several of the same regions or countries? Or is each and every one different?

    Announcement About Request For Female Arabic Language Partner I am getting lots of requests from men, and some are asking why I am looking for a female language partner. Since there is so many, I will make an announcement. I am a woman, I am married and I have several children. I feel I can learn more about culture, language, and way of life of Arab women and can identify more with a woman. I am also trying to find a language partner close to may age (35) and that has a same status as me (married with children). It is not that I have anything personal against men you guys. Thanks for your understanding. lol

    Oh I need to find that movie. This song I got from this Turkish Series I am watching about Suleiman the Magnificent. It is mostly about him, but about Roxelana too... because as we know... she ruled him. lol

    Great! And Thank you! I did not notice the translation in the video actually. I just randomly took that video, but yours is a lot better I think. :-) I kind of almost got the translation right for my group. Just kind of off on some parts or missing words! So that is nice. Is it Ukrainian or an old style language (Old Slavonic)?

    I know even in the series, the Turkish they use is the old style of the Renaissance Ottoman Empire.

    I will try to correct you, but I am not sure I understand what you meant:

     

    Kazan...

     

    Kazan is a beauitful city, with a similar style of architecture like Saint Pertersburg. I was amazed there was hardly anyone on the central streets in the evenings.

     

    [I don't know if that pharse was supoosed to be sarcasm and the streets were actually busy and not deserted. Also, Americans would tend to us "on" the street, but British will tend to use "in" the street- I don't know why LOL. Remove "some" it is a word that does not need to be in that sentence.]

     

    This was the first time I rode my bike to another city and I beleive is was the damn right decision. I found that many of the tourist thought I was a local citizen. This was amusing at times. :-)

    Lullaby of Roxelana

    I am looking for someone who is able to translate this entire lullaby... I kind of understand a little of it... about birds and feeding a baby in cradle. I think it is Ukrainian, but it has some Old Slavonic.

    It comes from a Turkish drama series about the Renaissance Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent. The women was his wife (the only legal wife of an Ottoman Sultan ever) and a Ruthenian (now from Ukrainian region) names Aleksandra Lisowska (she was renamed Hurrem Sultan when she became the Sultan's favorite). Slavic people may know her as the infamous Roxelana. Anyway, we are discussing this series in one of my history groups and I can't completely translate this. Can anyone help?
