Target language: English

Huh Çetin, I liked it very much... By god, I am not unfamiliar with this.
Remarks about the translation
Ya Çetin, bunu çok tuttum.. Valla hiç yabancı gelmedi.

Without context, another interpretation might be

Hey Çetin, s/he is hot. To tell the truth, s/he looks pretty familiar.

Hi merdogan Hocam,

What about "it doesn't sound unfamiliar at all" or "it is not completely alien to me" instead of saying "I am not alien from this" -which I think is not natural in English?

I think you can say 'I am not alien to this', meaning 'I am not unfamiliar with this'. Mesud is right in that it is not used very often and both his suggestions and the above @I am not unfamiliar with this' sound a bit more normal.

I am not sure about 'by jingo' - this is a very quaint expression, giving the impression the speaker is trying to pick a funny-sounding and somewhat posh 19-th century exclamation. Is that what is intended? Otherwise, how about a more commonly used one like 'by god'?

I think the context must be something like this:

A: Hey Çetin, I like this one (A says he likes the girl he is looking at now)

B or A: To tell the truth, she looks pretty familiar.

Haven't you ever heard something like 'tuttum bunu', 'hatun güzelmiş'? This is slang.

Also, could you tell me what is being liked and what is familiar? Keep in mind, two men are having a chat to each other.

Who knows "two men are having a chat to each other"?

Please do not keep saying "no such thing". OK, suppose that a man and a woman are having a chat. Now go ahead. What could be the subject?
