"Are my shirts small on you?"

Translation: Gömleklerim sana küçük mü?

[lolyrt_97]

is it right ? " gömleklerim üstünde küçük mü ? "

[AlexinNotTurkey]

No :)

[petermuster550]

What's the difference between "sana" and "sende" in this sentence?

[alienlightning]

Small means that küçük not dar

[Ektoraskan]

Both are accepted.

[DottyEyes]

Why not ".... size küçük müdür"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

The -DIr suffix wouldn't really be used here :)

[Quattrostelle]

What about: "gömleklerim sana fazlı küçük mü?"

[MeteUlku]

Fazlı? There isn't a word like this in Turkish. Did you mean "fazla", which means "too"? To say "Gomleklerim sana fazla mi kucuk?" sounds more natural.

[Quattrostelle]

Correct, I meant fazla. Thanks for your correction. Still learning :-) In English we often say "is my shirt too small for you?" etc.

[LamiaKhedr]

Why do you consider ( benim gömleklerim size kuçuk mu?) wrong ???!!!

[MeteUlku]

That's correct too. Did you report it? If you did, the coure moderators will take care of that.

[LamiaKhedr]

I will :)
Thanks

[AlexinNotTurkey]

This was already accepted. Maybe you had a mistake somewhere else :)

Gömleklerim sana küçük müsün? Is this OK?

[Yomalyn]

We don't need the -sün in this sentence.

The word "müsün" means "are you?" But in this sentence, we are questioning the shirts (not "you"), so we can just say "mü" :-)

[Stergi3]

No! I have the same question. Why?

[Ektoraskan]

What's the question? :)

[Salih_Dz.]

Lol, now I can see that I added suffix (mü)SüN to a shirt. It would be better if I was silent then.

[Yomalyn]

Don't worry about it! The discussion pages are here so we can ask questions, and sometimes it's nice to see our old posts to see how much progress we've made :-)

I see you've figured it out, but I put a response on your old post just in case someone else is wondering the same thing. :-)

[Salih_Dz.]

Yes, thank you. You are right. That's why I did not delete it. Best regards :)

[jarofclay]

Wouldn't this work?

benim gömleklerim sizin üstünde küçük mü?

[Ektoraskan]

No, we would add duruyor: küçük mü duruyor? But even that would be incorrect, because you've made a small mistake. Can you find it?

[ElissnVergard]

It is "üstünüzde" and not "üstünde" in this case, isn't it?

[CourtneySc175353]

Why can you not put Sana first?

[PranaviAVS]

So what is the literal translation? Are my shirts small to you? Because we are using Sana which is dative meaning to you.

[Yomalyn]

Exactly :-)

[drumwhacker]

Gömleklerim sende küçük mü? Was not accepted :-/

[SepehrHagh1]

is "gömleklerim senin için küçük mü?" correct?

[evelyn-miriam]

Why can't I say senin üstünde instead of sana?

[SepehrHagh1]

because "senin üstüned" means "your upside".
in turkish "on" has different meanings

[evelyn-miriam]

But I saw it in another sentence "he doesn't wear clothes". Duo translated that like... he is wearing no clothes on him, or his outside.
It was hard enough to understand that strange way to translate it. And now it is different again.
Everything I learn here two lessons later isn't valid anymore.

[Primalshade]

Translations in Duolingo Turkish are awful :( Bad work.
