159: We are cool now


Biz şimdi cidden barıştık, değil mi??
= We are truly cool now, aren't we?

Barıştık.
= We are good.

İyi!
= Great!




*Barıştık [from Barışmak= to make up; to bury the hatchet].


Language Tip:
As explained in an earlier post, there is a single tag question in Turkish for all persons and all tenses: "değil mi?" [=is/isn't that so?]. 

In speech, "değil mi?" is usually shortened to "dı mı?", with stress on the first syllable. 



Video is from the Turkish Series "İlişki Durumu: Karışık
English Title: "Relationship Status: It's Complicated"
