| El elin eşeğini türkü söyleyerek ararmış. If you want something done, you've gotto do it yourself. Explanation: Biliyorsunuz, Turk atasozleri, kendi kultur ve yasam deneyimleri ile ozdeslestirilmis. Ingilizce olanlarda burdaki insanlarin deneyimleri ile. Ama sozler farkli diye, anlamlar farkli demek degil tabiki. Bizim ABD'de kullandigimiz "If you want something done, you've gotto do it yourself." |
