"That gentleman is my father."

Translation: Şu beyefendi benim babam.

[Jezukel]

Is benim optional or required in this sentence?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

it is optional (but slightly preferred)

[Zobristen]

Can we say "centilmen"?

[orde90]

no centilmen is only used as an adjective. it means kind (for men usually towards women)

[YesharHadi]

Is it inappropriate to say "O" instead of "Şu"? I'm hoping my other mistake is why my answer was counted wrong. :)

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It wouldn't be inappropriate at all :) Must have been your other mistake!

[YesharHadi]

My hero <3 Thank you!

[itamar2x]

Can someone break down the word beyefendi? Because in Hebrew the word "efendi" is sometimes used as slang, and I wonder if it originated from turkish (or maybe both languages got it from Arabic).
Thanks
