"Köy halkı burada bekliyor."

Translation: The village people are waiting here.

[jsmitten]

Here = the YMCA

[gerekmez]

It's fun to stay there. ;)

[MaryGavin4]

It is because of this I would never say "the village people are waiting here" I just keep seeing "The Village People" whenever I read this. I would restructure and say "the people of the village are waiting here".

[KevanSF]

Or even "villagers."

[Sayel.Abbadi]

Villagers = köylüler.

[Mcav75]

Ready to go west no doubt.

[ersinturac]

the public of the village are waiting here. is this true?

[irma863809]

Why is it incorrect to say ' the people in the village are waiting '

[Yuush.z80]

Because we're talking about the people from the village, not people who are staying at the village (köyde)

[KevanSF]

For one thing, because your proposed English translation omits "burada" from the original sentence. Second, "in" isn't really part of the original sentence either. I read "Köy halkı" as people of the village (ie village people) rather than people in the village (who may or may not be of the village).

[Eli834902]

I think rural people is better than village people

[Rhino75]

What is the difference between halkı and insan and kişi? I do not seem to be understanding the finer nuances of the usage of these three words. Thank you for any and all help!
