Kypros

Greetings.

I would be extremely appreciative if the following phrases could be translated from English into Turkish:

"I support peace in a united Cyprus for all Cypriots"
"Let's fight for the re-establishment of an independent and impartial Cypriot nation/state for all Cypriots"
"I demand: removal of all Turkish troops; repatriation of all colonists; return of all refugees"

Thank you very much in advance. (Note: Please do not misunderstand my final message as being anti-Turkist. It most definitely is not. I am a Greek Cypriot who would love to learn Turkish and the final phrase is from Lobby for Cyprus)

Anybody? NOBODY?

Now,i remember this post.i saw this before.i dont know why i didnt translate maybe forgot to return.Sorry for being late.

Also, i am not sure.Did u use troops in meaning of turkish soldiers or all turkish nation?
In the translation,i thought it as soldiers.But i will change it according to your answer of this question.ok?

Kypros

Thanks very much for the translation!

I used "troops" as "soldiers". I'm sure you're aware of the situation in Cyprus regarding Turkish soldiers.

I would like to re-iterate that my post is not anti-Turkist. I object to the presence of the Turkish (and Greek!) troops in Cyprus and also the 'legitimacy' of the settlement of Turkish mainlanders in Cypriot occupied regions since 1974.

In fact, I just want re-unification for the people of my country - whatever their ethnic background - and I intend to learn Turkish in the near future(have already got a grammar book and dictionary). I love trying to work out the structure of Turkish sentences. If you don't mind, could you now give a literal, verbatim transcription of the Turkish sentenes in English?

For example, my limited knowledge of Turkish tells me that the first sentence would literally be:

"All Cypriots for united a (one) Cyprus in peace I support".

If you can't that's OK. I understand you're a busy translator who needs to answer others too!

Thanks again.

Kypros.

Firstly,you are welcome.

And,i am not a professional translator.i just like languages and translating.So,i dont know how i can explain what you want to know.And,even if i try to explain,i might make a wrong explanation and it might make your mind confused.i dont want to cause such an event.Hope you understand me.....

To see people like you who try to learn my language makes me happy.Hope you wont give up learning it.

Greetings from Turkey.

Hi again, mrym.

What I mean is that the literal, word-for-word translation of "Bütün Kıbrıslılar için birleşmiş bir Kıbrıs'da barışı destekliyorum" would be:

Bütün Kıbrıslılar için| birleşmiş bir | Kıbrıs'da barışı | destekliyorum
All Cypriots for | united one| Cyprus in peace| I support

But in order to be coherent in English, it is rendered:

"I support peace in a united Cyprus for all Cypriots"

Understand? I was just wondering if you could break down the other translations like I did above.

Thanks again.

Kypros.

(EDIT: I forgot to ask, if it's not too much, how to say in Turkish: "I want to see in Cyprus a future of/with peace, respect, and equality for all Cypriots").
