Discussion

TMJS (asker) Nov 2, 2009:
I understand your comment. What happened is the following: the question which I posted belonged to the category 'Turkish into English' (as the expression R/O was written in a Turkish text). Someone switched this question into the 'English into Turkish' category (probably because he thought the term was English) and I was unable to redirect the language combination. Your answer was correct but I had to choose between two correct answers and decided to stick to my original question. Sorry about that and perhaps questions should not be altered so quickly (I had the same problem on my question 'Ceysu').
Ali Tuna Nov 2, 2009:
Am I missing something? I thought this was an English to Turkish translation question. Am I missing something in this question here?

My answer may not be correct, and I do not need the KudoZ points either. However, for the sake of the accuracy of the translation, how can “reverse osmosis“ be used as a Turkish phrase? I did not see either “reverse” or “osmosis” being used as Turkish words before.
If I'm not hallucinating' I think the language pair for this question should be changed to English monolingual.

Teşekkür ederim. Sudan bahsedilince aklıma direkt ters ozmos geldi ama dil çiftine şu anki haliyle pek uygun değil maalesef. :)
agree Emin Arı : doğru, endüstride kaliteli su üretimi için kullanılır, reçine gerektirmez ama pahalı bir prosestir

TDK spells the Turkish versions as ozmoz. Please see the following link for the spelling:
