No I didn't.



Dogru cevap/ correct answer = hayir, degilim. No, I am not.

Ask Iceman.

You answered " no I didnt" to a remark of mine. I took it that you were on the same wavelength and continued.

Oh, right. Some of our well meaning G/Cypriot friends on occasion use some phrases, in the wrong tense.( I do the same with the wrong genders in GC.). Your phrase was perfect, which made me think twice about your heritage. I am also aware that many GCs of mature years are proficient in Turkish.
