Did you try this? ;) It is accepted, although it hasn't been the most commonly used form in English since the Victorian Era :D

I am a native English speaker and I never use 'living room'. I use 'sitting room' or 'lounge'. I used to use 'front room' quite a bit until a few years ago when I moved into a house where the sitting room was at the back of the building!
Wow...thanks for letter me know. I was under the impression that it had even fallen out of use with the British. :)
At my grandparent's house there is a sitting room and a living room. The living room is the one with a couch and television and used daily. The sitting room is the one for special occasions. There is a table and chairs and guests come for meals there.
"Oturma odası" is a compound noun, so the second noun takes a possessive ending.
I think that would be "to sleep his room", Compound nouns are formed of two nouns, so you have to make a "noun" of oturmak. This short infinitive is "oturma".

Hello
Oturma - (adjective) - {do not sit} Do/not sit.
Now we have determined the contradictory meaning look at the context in which the word is being used?
"Oturma odası." Translation: The living room.
Oda - room + (s) buffer consonant + "-i" accusative case front vowel.
Examples:
Otur - (root) - sit down.
Oraya oturma. - Don't sit there.
Oturdun - You have sat.
exactly. that was my point.
oturma = sitting
oturma = do not sit
it seems that there should be different words for each use.
Sorry for the ambiguous word meaning & I'll try to find more examples for & against.
Kind regards.
