    @John Thank you for the comment. I know exactly what you mean. But there is something here, I learnt English grammar by reading about the rules in Persian. And used the rules to make up my own sentences trying to communicate my mean, i.e. the semantic I had in my mind! As you mentioned translation is a bad strategy to use and I totally agree with you. I want to do the same thing: understand the rules and use them rather than using translation. By the way, my mother tongue is Azeri and it is a close sister of Turkish, and I hope it helps me learn Turkish like native speakers! We use Nerdevan for lader, and we have yerıyen /jerijæn/ for almost the same concept. But for escalator we use the word from Persian language, i.e. lone word, just change the pronunciation. I fully understand your point. Your example is reminiscent of idioms or phrasal verbs in English in which the meaning of parts is different from the meaning of the whole

    If you mean we have the word in Farsi, I should say that no, we do not have it. But if your questions is for finding an equivalent Farsi word for that, we need some more information on the word befor answering it. By more info I mean like when it is used, is it a four lettered word, is it formal or informal...

    Can anyone help me kindly with introducing me good sources for self-learning Turkish? Actually this is a request, and not exactly a question! But as there is no request tags, I had to use the question tag! I know a little Turkish, i.e. I know the alphabet, how to introduce myself, how to ask some questions, how to greet people formally and informally, and pretty much that! I would be truly grateful if anyone could help me find good sources for learning Turkish grammar and vocabulary in English! Thank you all very much in advanced! :-)

    Happy Birthday :-)

    I  have never experienced such feelings! And I am indeed older than you! But why? Because I always try to live in today, do my best to do things I know how to do and learn about things I know I can learn doing, look at things I have achieved, and if I fail achieving them or accomplishing my dreams, I never give up and think back to find out about my mistakes and the reason of my failure to fix them and continue, no matrer how long it takes, or how fast the time goes by! I always try to enjoy the time and almost never compete it! I believe The All Mighty God gives every one of us enough time to do things we should do! So don't worry! And remember that life is always short even if we have some thousands of it to live, finally we will notice we have run short of it! Funny, isn't? It is this way because human being is almost never satisfied unless they understand how to save time by using it the best they can, so this way there is no place for regression! This is the only secret of me having no such feelings ever!!!

    PS: Now, how can I go to sleep after disclosing  my secret!? ;-)

    PS: Oh, my! It is 2 a.m. here! O.o You are right time flies! LOL

    Are you asking Iranian users? Or non-Iranians who speak persion?

    Your question is too general! What kind of ceremony you are asking about? Do you mean Iranian way? Or you wanna know how is it in other nations?

    If you really wanna revieve an answer, then explain more about your question! And also taging it with cultural may help your question being more understandable!

    Yes, it is! It is hereditary! But the extent of this heriditary is not much, and also attributing success merely to genes is something I cannot buy! On the other hand that kind of attribution is something and being a braggart is another thing! That was his braggart attitude that led to the reaction of the whole Iranian nation, not his genes! But honestly I wish he used his genes, if he has inherited any that I doubt, in a better way, instead of using them to find ways abusing his father's name and power!

    Happy the font is acceptable now. By the way, the font of the first comment is pretty normal and as big as the font you used on my screen! I tried to make it smaller but there were no options available to do so!

    @<a ui-sref="user({id:comment.commenter_obj.id})" href="https://www.italki.com/user/4767476" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(35, 82, 124); outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 5px; outline-offset: -2px;">sum1.new4u</a>  I never denied the things you wrote about Mr. Aaref and his wife! I just said your reasoning for them having good genes just because they attended good universities and also teaching there is not a sound one! 

    C'mon, I just told I am at odds with that goooood genes unless you can scientifically prove me wrong! It does not mean I am waiting for you to do so! Take it easy! ;-)

    One more thing, almost every one in Iran knows that ruined son of Mr. Aaref! If I were Mr. Aref, I would be disappointed of my good genes having such a son that abused his father's name and attributed his so called triumphs to the good genes inherited from his parents! Such a shame!!! I feel sincerely sorry for such parents!

    If we accept Mr.Aaref's son is a successful businessman because of his goooood genes, then we should admit Mr. Zanjani is way gifted than him and that his genes exceeds those of Mr. Aaref's son! LOL We can have really goood genes but leave then all useless and choose to use the bad ones we have also inhereted!

    PS : Hope the font does not bother you this time! :-)
