General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I do not understand what gazari means ? onlara refers to cocuklar and it's their father who wrote a SMS message. Thanks in advance. Could it be a typo, pazari instead of gazari, meaning that the father reserved sunday to his children ?

I have kept Sunday free for them.
we can use the Present Perfect when there is no time specification in the sentence.

No problem at all.
The sentence "I've reserved this Sunday for them" doesn't make sense to me.

Hi,
I don't think there is a Turkish word such as "gazar", so most probably it is a typo; considering this is a text message, I think this is most likely the case.
I've searched the word "gazar" in TDK's dictionary just to make sure, and there is no such word.
Have a nice day ...

| Sorry Balaban about Mustafa Kemal who has nothing to do with this. I got mixed up with a previous kudoz question which I had asked some time ago. Iyi aksamlar ! |
| And thank you Achenax for your answer. I really do not know how to use properly these boxes, it's a mess ! tesekkürler. |
| Yes, Mehmet you are right about that, thanks for drawing my attention to this point. Iyi günler ! |
