I recently voluntarily killed my 1200 days streak to break the habit, then did a one month pause, and restarted a language I only learned for 6 months many years ago (Portuguese).

Congratulations @MarjanZahedi, did you check https://www.duostories.org/tr-en ? There are many Turkish stories.

I'm on Android and have the page turner achievement, on some courses.

Ĉe kies flanko vi estas?

There is this sample citation in vortaro "stari sur ies flanko", so following this you could write "Sur kies flanko vi staras?"

Anyway, congratulation for your translation, it's a difficult exercise.

By hook or by crook we will (get the information) -> Iamaniere faros

The original verb is "to get", so I would translate into something like "(Ia) maniere ni sukcesos", to avoid emphasis the success and avoid the repetition of ricevi.

You won't get it -> vi ne prenos ĝin.

You can't translate get with take. I would say "vi ne ricevos ĝin".

This means that there are cases where tiu is not followed by a noun when the reader or listener knows what object or person it is.

• Kiun aŭto vi volas? Mi volas ĉi tiun (aŭton).
• Ĉu vi konas tiun (homon)?
• Tiu (homo) estas mia frato.

Also keep in mind that the substantive (noun) following tiu can be implicit.
See case II in vortaro.

Same for me, it is as if they wanted us to do a lot of lessons or give the daily quest only to the most dedicated users.

@JudieLC and @back4morelater you have daily quests on the web app?
I have no mention of quests, nor on PC nor on smartphone, only in the Android App.

@John Little If I do my three quests on Turkish and I switch to Arabic my quest list change and I have a new one, this could explain 4 quests a day, then you have possibly two friend quests, or one friend quest and something else unknown.

Congrats to all participants and many thanks to @AlexanderN844702

@Zimozie some people are creating stories, but there are only a handful at this time

My final tought on Busuu : It's really bad and I don't see how you can learn any language with that tool. I've sadly paid for it, so I'll use it as a secondary tool to revise my Turkish.

Is the concept of crowns still valid? I can't see them anymore in the Duolingo products.

What other language forums do you know? Are there any? All the Brazilian people from the Duolingo are gone .. too bad.

Maybe I should try the Discord Android app...

Discord can be used on nearly every platform. Here is the "Official" Duolingo server.
