Turkish term or phrase: onlara gazari ayirdim

I do not understand what gazari means ? onlara refers to cocuklar and it's their father who wrote a SMS message. Thanks in advance. Could it be a typo, pazari instead of gazari, meaning that the father reserved sunday to his children ?

No problem at all.

The sentence "I've reserved this Sunday for them" doesn't make sense to me.

I've reserved this Sunday for them

Explanation:
Hi,

I don't think there is a Turkish word such as "gazar", so most probably it is a typo; considering this is a text message, I think this is most likely the case.

I've searched the word "gazar" in TDK's dictionary just to make sure, and there is no such word.

Have a nice day ...
