To express deep frustration when something simply won't work despite repeated efforts, use the phrase bir türlü ("no matter what" or "somehow not").
Crucial rule: You must always pair bir türlü with a negative verb.
| I realized that this device just won't turn on. | Fark ettim ki bu aygıt bir türlü açılmıyor. |
Mechanical Failures and Jams
When dealing with stubborn mechanical issues, you will frequently use verbs like arızalanmak (to break down) and sıkışmak (to jam).
Combining these frustrating events with bir türlü captures the helplessness of dealing with an uncooperative machine.
| The car whose engine broke down simply won't start. | Motoru arızalanan araba bir türlü çalışmıyor. |
| The paper jammed in the printer and it just won't come out. | Kâğıt yazıcıda sıkıştı ve bir türlü çıkmıyor. |
Technical Glitches
Software and networking problems can be just as annoying, such as an uyumsuzluk (incompatibility) between programs.
| The incompatibility between the programs just won't end. | Programlar arasındaki uyumsuzluk bir türlü bitmiyor. |
Troubleshooting
Even after trying to adjust an ayar (setting) or completely sıfırlamak (to reset) a system, the machine might still refuse to cooperate!
| I reset the settings, but the computer just won't shut down. | Ayarları sıfırladım ama bilgisayar bir türlü kapanmıyor. |
