Who is that, (man)? Is it the one I thought of? Tell me the truth!


Explanation:
I combined a portion of the two answers given already as my answer. "lan" (similar to a ghetto way of addressing a close friend, "dawg") is a pejorative way to address someone, so you can disregard that part or just replace it with something like "man", "girl", "yo", "bro". "düşündüyümmü" is the erroneous version of "düşündüğüm mü?" (the one I thought of), and "doru" is the misspelling of "doğru" (truth). So this gives us:

O kim, lan! Yoksa düşündüğüm mü? Doğru söyle!

Who's that, man? Is it the one I thought of? Tell me the truth!
