How can i say "i want more ice-cream"? "more" in turkish? thnx

[Denizkızı]

I'll give a try..

Daha dondurma istiyorum.
Daha means more..

I hope that was right and someone will correct the mistakes if it wasn't.

[Milena]

"Daha çok dondurma istiyorum."

@ Denizkızı : Your sentence is not wrong, but in this case "daha çok" would be better as "daha" has other meanings in Turkish.

[Denizkızı]

Thanks Milena. I guess the word "daha" is never used alone, or? I know it means more or -er when comparing with adectives.

[Milena]

Actually we use "daha" word alone as well.

Like I said it has some other meanings too.

daha

1. so far, until now, still, yet, only.
2. more, in addition.
3. more, -er; a lot -er.
4. plus.

I.e

They haven´t come yet. Daha gelmediler.

[Denizkızı]

çok teşekkürler! şimdi biliyorum!

[Milena]

No problem.

[Volcano1985]

more=daha,daha çok,daha fazla

He needs more money=Daha çok paraya ihtiyacı var

In this sentence more is used as adjective

He is more intelligent than her=Ondan "daha" zeki

In this sentence you don't need to say "çok"

Hope you understand...

[Pemberley]

thank youu so much, a great help for me!

i have a new question:
"my heart beats inside me"
how is used "inside"?

[bogazici86]

"Kalbim içimde atar."
"Inside" means (in your sentence) inside of my body, maybe in my soul, something like that. So, the translation of "inside me" is "İçimde" in this sentence. Is this the answer of your question? Or did you mean something else? I hope I could help

[Pemberley]

yeaa i see ... so içimde is inside (my body/soul), but is it different from "there is smth inside my food"? thnx
