Kasikci (Spoonmaker’s) Diamond Kaşıkcı Elması

Kasikci (Spoonmaker's) Diamond









The treasury of Topkapi Palace is full of precious things, but two of them are the more renowned ones: Topkapi Dagger and Kasikci Elmasi (Spoonmaker's Diamond). I will tell you the story of the second one.

Kasikci Elmasi, a 86-carat pear-shaped diamond, is the most valuable single gem in the Palace. There are two interesting theories about its origin.

1) According to an Ottoman royal historian, Rashid, a poor man found a diamond in a garbage dump in Istanbul in 1699. Nobody knows how come the diamond was there. Anyway, the poor man bartered it to a spoonmaker for 3 wooden spoons.

Then the spoonmaker sold it to a jeweler for 10 silver coins. The jeweler told about the diamond to one of his colleagues and they quarrelled after it was clear that it worths a fortune. They came to an agreement to sell it to a third jeweler for a bag of golds for each one of them.

The third jeweler was not so lucky as Grand Vizier Ahmed Pasha heard about the gem and confiscated it. Then Sultan Mehmed IV learned about the affair and he eventually took the possession of the diamond. Did he pay anything? Nobody knows.

2) There is another (and probably more reliable) story. According to Victor Argenzio, Maharajah of Madras in India sold the diamond to a French officer, named Picot, in 1774. He has been robbed by thieves and the diamond got lost for a long while.

A theory suggests that a gem which is bought by Casanova in an auction was actually Picot Diamond. It finally ended up on the hands of Napoleon's mother, Letizia Ramolino. She sold it to help his son, who was a prisoner in Elba, in 1815 and it is bought by Tepedelenli Ali Pasha for 150.000 gold coins. Pasha was killed in a revolt and his treasury was confiscated by Sultan Mahmud II. That's how it reached to the Sublime Porte.

Muhabbet Kuşunun Ingilizce Tanıtımı

The budgerigar is a small colourful bird native to Australia. The budgerigar is thought to be a sub-species of parrot, making the budgerigar one of the smallest parrot species in the world.
The budgerigar is often called a parakeet or a budgie and the budgie is one of the most popular birds to keep as pets, both in outside aviaries and in cages in homes. Budgerigars are thought to be popular pets due to their small size and brightly coloured feathers.
The budgerigar is a very sociable bird and budgies can been seen gathering in large flocks in trees and scrub land in the Australian wilderness. Pet budgerigars should always be kept at least with one other budgerigar to prevent them from getting lonely. The wild budgerigar tends to feed on grass seeds and occasionalinsects.
Budgies are known to be very easy animals to sex. Male budgies and female budgies can be identified by the colour of their nose. The male budgerigar has a blue nose while the female budgie’s nose is brown in colour.
 Budgerigars are known to be very hardy little creatures and if a budgie becomes ill in the wild, the budgie will try to conceal it as long as possible so as not to appear weak and vulnerable to potential predators. The main predators of the wild budgerigar are snakes and birds of prey such as hawks. Wild budgerigars have also been known to be hunted by local natives mainly for their brightly coloured feathers which are then used in tribal costumes.
The average lifespan of a wild budgerigar is thought to be around 5 years but budgerigars have been known to live much longer in captivity, some get to nearly 20 years old! The average lifespan of a pet budgie is between 8 and 10 years.

Budgerigars are one of the few bird species that do not build nests and female budgerigars will therefore find a hole in a tree in which to lay their eggs. The female budgerigar lays around 5 or 6 eggs, that hatch in around 3 weeks. The budgie chicks are looked after by their mother and reach full adulthood when they are roughly 9 months old.

İngilizce’de Düzensiz Fiiller Düzenli Fiiller



İngilizce’de Düzensiz Fiiller Düzenli Fiiller

Fiil, yapılan, olan işi anlatan kelimedir. Bir cümlede özne ne yapmış, neyapıyormuş ya da yapacakmış sorusunun cevabıdır.
I listened to music. =Ben müzik dinledim.
Bu cümlede anlatılan bir iş, bir eylem var, o da dinlemektir.
Cemil played football.Burada da fiilimiz play. Çünkü yapılan iş o.
Tüm kelimeler gibi fiilleri de kafamızda canlandırarak, o fiilin resmini beynimizde oluşturarak öğrenmeliyiz. Fiiller, işlerin, oluşların, eylemlerin kelimeler dünyasındaki temsilcisidir. Bizi ilgilendiren o temsilcinin neyi temsil ettiği olmalıdır, onun Türkçe karşılığı değil.
KOŞ =
“koş” kelimesini duyunca aklımızda bunun gibi bir resim belirir. İngilizce konuşanlarınsa durumu şudur;
RUN =
Biz de bunu bu şekilde öğrenmeliyiz. “run” kelimesini öğrenirken aklımızda buna benzer resimler oluşturmalıyız.
Fiiller her zaman böyle gözle görülür işleri anlatmaz. Düşünmek gibi soyut fiiller de vardır elbette. Fiiller her zaman bu fiil gibi bir hareket de içermez. “be” fiili bir oluşu ifade eder. Bu, dönüşüm şeklinde değil var oluş şeklinde bir fiildir.
He is old =O, yaşlıdır. Burada fiil “is”. “Be” fiilinin geniş zaman halleri olan “am, is, are” fiilleri bu örnekte olduğu gibi bir durumu ifade eder. Adam yaşlıdır, yaşlı olma durumunda bulunmaktadır. Yani neyapmaktadır, yaşlı olmaktadır. Ama bu, dönüşüm değildir; halihazırda oluştur. Yaşlı olma fiilini icra etmektedir.
MASTAR
MASTARLAR fiillerin isimleridir. Kendileri birer fiil değildir.
Eve gitmek istiyorum.
Bu cümlede fiil “istiyorum”. Gitmek ise mastardır, yani isimdir.
I want to go home
Buna benzer bir cümlede birçok öğrenci maalesef fiil nedir sorusuna “go” cevabını vermektedir. Halbuki bu cümlenin anlattığı iş want, yani istemektir. Özne ben; ben ne yapıyor? İstiyor.
Mastarlarla ilgili daha fazla bilgi isim bölümünden alıntı yapıyorum;
MASTAR
Çoğu kişinin yanlış cevaplayacağı bir soru size;
“gelmek” ne tür bir kelimedir?
A) isim B) fiil
Normalde birçok kişi B şıkkını seçecektir. Ama “gelmek” bir isimdir. Fiil olan onun köküdür; yani “gel” fiildir, “gelmek” isimdir. “gel” kelimesi bir oluş bir hareket ifade ettiğinden dolayı fiildir. Ama “gelmek” diye bir olay vardır ve bu olay “var”dır, o halde varlıktır. O halde bu varlığı temsil eden kelime “gelmek” isimdir. Şöyle soralım; “gel” diye bir olay var mıdır? Hayır, “gel” diye bir olay “var” değildir.
Türkçemizde “gelmek” gibi kelimelere MASTAR diyoruz, biliyorsunuz. Mastarlar “gelmek” örneğinde olduğu gibi fiillerin isimleridirler. Yani mastarlar isimdir. Bu durumu unutmamak İngilizce öğrenirken işimize yarayacak.
Working is difficult in the summer =yazın çalışmak zor. (burada “working” çalışmak anlamındadır ve mastardır, ve de cümlenin öznesidir.)
Bu cümleyi şöyle de kurabilirdik;
It is difficult to work in the summer =yazın çalışmak zor. (burada “to work” yine çalışmak anlamındadır ve mastardır.
Görüldüğü gibi İngilizcede mastarlarbu iki şekilde yapılıyor.
1) Sonuna “–ing” getirerek.
2) Başına “to” getirerek
NON-PROGRESSIVE
Progressive = continuous
Non progressive verbs = continuous olmayan yani continuous zamanlarda kullanılmayan fiiller.
Bunlar tüm continuous zamanlarda;
Present continuous Pas

Fırat Nehrinin İngilizce Tanıtımı


Euphrates River





The Euphrates river (Firat in Turkish ) rises from Eastern Anatolia , flows generally southward through southeastern Turkey around Sanliurfa , Adiyaman and Gaziantep provinces, goes across the border into Syria and Iraq passing from Mesopotamia, and empties into the Persian Gulf in Basra after joining with the Tigris river in Shatt al-Arab. Its total lenght is approximately 2.800 km (1.740 mi), out of which 971 km (603 mi) are in Turkey . In addition to its main watercourse, the Euphrates River has two headwaters named as Karasu and Murad (ancient Arsanias) rivers which join somewhere near Keban district of Elazig province , where stands the Keban Dam as one of the biggest in Turkey (210 m - 689 ft high) built between 1965-1975.Another big dam is Karakaya (173 m - 568 ft high) which was opened in 1987 within GAP Project , and other dams are Birecik and Karkamis. But the largest dam of Turkey in size, and one of the biggest dams in the world, is Ataturk Dam which is also built on the Euphrates river near Sanliurfa province between 1983-1992; it's 169 m (554 ft) high. All of these dams were constructed to provide hydroelectric power to this region of Turkey , provide water for irrigation, and help with flood control. These dams have very large and distinct reservoirs as well. The water from the Ataturk Dam is passing through two parallel 7,62 m (25 ft) wide and 26,4 km (16,4 mi) long Urfa tunnels and used for the irrigation of the agricultural fields in Urfa - Harran , Mardin-Ceylanpinar, Siverek-Hilvan, and upper Mardin areas.
Besides Karasu and Murat, other tributaries of the Euphrates are Tohma, Peri, Calti and Munzur rivers. Average elevations along the Euphrates range from 760 m (2.500 ft) for the lowlands to more than 1.500 m (5.000 ft) for the plateaus and mountains . Its water regime depends heavily upon winter rains and Spring snowmelt in the mountains ; it grows between March-June when the snow in the mountains melt, and reduces its water flow between July-January when there isn't much rain due to the typical continental subtropical climate (hot and dry summers, cold and snowy winters).
The agriculture along the Euphrates holds an important part in the economy of the region , which comes to a halt during the winter because of freezing temperatures and snow. Fishing is another important income for the locals living around the Euphrates. As for the fish and other animals in the river and marshes, we can count the carp, barbels, catfish, spiny eel, frogs, toads and turtles. Several plants grow near the rivers in the region , such as oak, pistachio, ash forests, cattail, mardi reed and other reeds, camel thorn, prosopis, willow, popler, date palm, and some wildflowers.
Many ancient cities flourished on the banks of Euphrates river during the Hittite and Urartu periods, Zeugma city was one of them. The Euphrates, such as Tigris , is a biblical river as well. It was known as Perat and mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 2:10-14) as one of the four rivers branching off the river flowing out of the Garden of Eden. These four rivers were Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel ( Tigris ) and Perat (Euphrates

Mehmet Akif Ersoy Hayatı İngilizce Türkçe





İngilizcesi
He was born in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire in 1873. He is noted for writing the lyrics of Turkish National Anthem, İstiklâl Marşı (The March of Independence in English) – which was adopted in 1921, and is accepted by many Turks as their “National Poet”. One of his most famous works, a book called Safahat, was not widely read or published until recently. He studied veterinary science at the university.
He is also said to have written a commentary upon the Qur’an.
Although semi-Albanian by birth and deeply religious, he is held as a nationalist figure in Turkey. In fact, his real allegiance was somewhere in between Turkish and Islamic identities, and he was something of the Namık Kemal of his time. Deeply upset by the strongly secular nature the republic took soon after the sultanate was abolished in 1923, he left Turkey for Cairo to teach Turkish language, and returned only shortly before his death in 1936.

He was interred in the Edirnekapı Cemetery in Istanbul.
