Hi sunny,

"preparing" sounds weird here. Could it be: "draw" or "paint"?
also your second option for the last line is better (using the verb 'to be' ), but "much' is not necessary, I'd say:
"I can't explain how happy I am/was"

What do you say?

Hi Lilly!

You are right, "preparing" doesn't sound natural here. And I would have translated it as "drawing" or "painting", but "hazırladığın" (hazırlamak) means "prepare, arrange, etc.", so I was confused a bit.
And if it was meant "draw", I guess it should have been used the other verb in the original (çizmek, yapmak).
Can we translate it as "arrange"? Because I think it is not obviouse from the text that the person drew the picture him/herself.

Yes, "prepare" is not suitable for this sentence. But, we don't know exactly what the person is trying to say. "hazırlamak" is "to prepare,to arrange,to make", that's right. And what we know about the picture is that it isn't taken,drawn or painted. Maybe some changes were made on the picture and it was given as a present, we can say.

Well...I think "for getting that picture for me" would solve the issue.

"getting this picture" is actaully "preparing this picture".
