At the dinner table with my mother-in-law:

MIL to my wife: (names changed to protect the innocent)

John ekmek yemiyor

Me: I have already eaten half a loaf or I am eating rice or I am eating potatoes and rice.

MIL to wife: John ekmek sevmiyor galiba

At the breakfast table with MIL

MIL to my wife: John re�el sevmiyor

Wife: hi� yemiyor

Me: Look I have eaten two eggs, cheese toast, olives, tomatoes, cucumber...

MIL: John re�el sevmiyor zaaten

You meet someone that you haven't seen in a while and you hear:

"You've lost weight"

Same day you meet somebody else who says:

"You've gained weight"


Apparently my weight changes in one day
