"Ev almak artık çok zor!"

Translation: It is very difficult to buy a house now!

[quest4good]

Would it also be correct to say "Ev almak şimdi çok zor!". I got the impression that "artık" was more of a "finally, at last"?

[Ektoraskan]

Yes, you can say "şimdi", but that only means "now". Like, right now it's hard to buy a house, but two hours later, it might be easier.

When you say "artık", it's more like "from now on". It's hard now, it will be hard tomorrow.

[quest4good]

Ah, great, got it, thanks!

[RoyDeSmet]

Since we're so uptight about proper English answers, this English sentence needs a gerund verb. Hence "It's very difficult BUYING a house now" should be accepted.

[Sayel.Abbadi]

Evet, evler bu günlerde çok pahalı oluyor.

[bdoulk]

why "the house" is wrong?

[EhabMohey92]

I think you need to say evi to mean THE house

[mershadya]

Evet Duo haklısın!

[CatharineD876271]

There are a lot of errors in the English translation in this unit. Sometimes you acccept 'to be' other times 'being'. There is no consistency

[TurkishOrVanish]

Evet, çok doğru özellikle gençlerin için bugünlar=(
