> In fact, it means "I wish the plane crashes and only Sinan dies". Of course, "düş" as a noun is "dream" but "düşsün" is derived from the verb "düşmek" which means "to fall" but when it is coupled with a plane means "crash" The reality, however, is that "to fall" actually does explain what it is happening to the plane, it does not mean something completely different. The word "dus" still conveys the meaning. > I am not even going to get into regional differences. That's called an accent, it exists almost in every language. I have a friend from work who pronounces "latency" with LAT (as in latitude) instead of LATE-ncy. He is from midwest. Turkish pronunciation is _easier_ than English. I don't remember having a spelling competition, but it's common with american schools (and it made its way to hollywood movies). Nitpicking examples on circumflex is not fair - how many words does Turkish even have of that kind?
