| | What does 'it' refer to? That the people came to the place? If so, shouldn't 'reminds' be 'reminded'? |
| | 9 April 2012 17:36 |
| | No, I don't think so, it's about what he's remembering at the moment he's saying it (writing, typing it)

| | Ah I see. Silly me! Thanks Francky |

| | Rica ederim! (and you're far from being silly IMO Mesud!) |

| | Hi Francky,
One more thing. As dictionaries say, 'holiday' is both countable and uncountable; but in this case, shouldn't it be plural? On the other hand, supposing it were a specific holiday. Then, would saying 'while I was growing up' be right? I mean, shouldn't it be 'in my childhood'?

| | You are right about "holidays" (I think), but you'd better ask an expert in English to confirm this point (Lein, kafetzou or Lilian). They are officially the ones who take care about texts in English. |

| | Hi Lilian,
What do you think about the 'holiday' here? Plural or singular? CC: lilian canale |

| | We should ask the requester about the meaning since it seems he is a native speaker.
@ iyyavor,
Could you give more context here?

| | Hi everyone-
I'm talking about a religious holiday- not what the Americans call a "vacation".
Thanks ! |

| | Thanks iyyavor,
I just edited the translation accordingly. |

| | Also- what's the difference between saying "sulalece" and "ailemle"? |
| | 10 April 2012 12:16 |
| | 'Aile' is composed of a father, a mother and the children. As for 'sülale', your other relatives are also included in it. And In Turkish '-ce' means 'together'. (ailece --> with my family) |

| | Thanks! I've learned something new... |

| | But pay attention to the pronoun, it should be 'we', not 'I'. For example, "Dün ailece yemeğe gittik." (We went for dinner as a family yesterday) I think saying 'as a family' is more correct. |
