The Turkish alphabet, which is a variant of the Latin alphabet, includes two distinct versions of the letter I, one dotted and the other dotless.
The dotless I, I ı, denotes the close back unrounded vowel sound (/ɯ/). Neither the upper nor the lower case version has a dot.
The dotted I, İ i, denotes the close front unrounded vowel sound (/i/). Both the upper and lower case versions have a dot.
Examples:
In contrast, the letter j does not have this distinction, with a dot only on the lower case character: J j.
In scholarly writing on Turkic languages, ï is sometimes used for /ɯ/.
In some fonts, if the lowercase letters "fi" are placed adjacently, the dot-like upper end of the "f" would fall inconveniently close to the dot of the "i", and therefore a ligature glyph is provided with the top of the "f" extended to serve as the dot of the "i". A similar ligature for "ffi" is also possible. Since the unligatured forms are unattractive and the ligatures make the "i" dotless, such fonts are not appropriate for use in a Turkish setting. However, the fi ligatures of some fonts do not merge the letters and instead space them next to each other, with the dot on the i remaining. Such fonts are appropriate for Turkish, but the writer must be careful to be consistent in the use of ligatures.
I am lost in the crowd
I'm standing in line
I'm feeling so down
And i am full of doubt
He's not the one
Take notice,hear me out
I want him, need him
And you, always will pull me through
I'm tired
This games so dumb
He never played,
His race is won
IÂ'm tired,
Can't smile no more
i'll sure cave in, just like before
I want him, need him
And you always will pull me through
And i want him, need him
And you always will pull me through
I want him, need him
And you always will pull me through
And i want him, need him
And you always will pull me through
And i...want him, need him
And i...want him, need him
And i...want him, need him
