Turkish
You can use this forum to find answers to your questions about Turkish. Make sure you abide by the following rules however:
First and foremost:
1. Be helpful, not hurtful.
If someone's language background isn't perfect, don't treat him/her badly.
2. Be polite.
The use of "hello", "hi" and "thank you" are welcome.
3. Reply in the same language as the first post.
If the thread's first post is in English, don't reply in Turkish. The reverse case also stands: If the thread has started in Turkish, don't change the language to English.
4. Look for the answer in dictionaries first.
5. Put the word or phrase in the title when asking a question. (Avoid "translation please", "how do I say this?", "does this word exist?", "I'm new" and the like.)
6. Always provide an example sentence to show the context.
7. Use the report-a-post feature in the bottom left corner of each post, if you read a post that contains questionable language/pictures or if you feel it does not belong to this specific forum. This will help to run the forum smoothly.
8. Don’t use the forum as a chat board (it is inefficient); use the private message (PM) feature (PC users, right click the member’s name) if you want to send a personal message to another forum member.
9. Do not post links to commercial sites. This is an advertising free forum and we want to keep it this way.
10. If you have further questions please post them in the "Comments and Suggestions" Forum or send a private message (PM) to your favorite moderator.
11. Please check the forum rules periodically since they will be updated whenever necessary.
For a detailed list, please check the comprehensive WR Rules

Citations and Sources
Please remember that whenever you take anything from another source, such as a dictionary, a textbook, or another website, you should acknowledge your source with a citation and, if possible, a link.
In addition to preventing copyright violations, this is fair and ethical and acknowledges other people's work and effort. To copy without acknowledgement is plagiarism. Moreover, it is very helpful to other foreros to know where you get your information.
The rules prohibit quoting more than 4 sentences of a text or 4 lines of lyrics. This does not mean that quotes under 4 sentences may be copied without acknowledgement.
