Turkish term or phrase: karşuma
Senin küçüğün İsmayil çok akillu bir uşak çıktı. Geçen gün tepeye varmiş, elinde bir ip sallayup duriy. Anan, uy uşağim ne edeysun oraya demiş. Oda heva turumuna bakayrum demiş. Çektum oni akşam KARSUMA, anlat bakayum şu hava turumu işinu dedim. Anlatti, meğer ip sallanunca havanin rüzcarli olduğunu, ip islaninca da yağmur yağdiğunu anlaymiş. Çok akillu uşak vesselam.

I can't make head or tail of this word. Apart from this word and one other in this passage, which I shall inquire of next, the sense of the remaining words is clear.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Atil! This helped me to understand Çektum oni akşam. 'I pulled him in the evening' hardly makes sense but with karsuma it clearly means:- 'I sat him down IN FRONT OF ME.

Asker: As I said, this answer is perfectly lucid. Thanks, Atil!
