bastığınız kısım.
that separates the two treads.
birbirinden ayıran dikey kısım.
that create a kind of edge.
bir boşluk yaratan bir ön kenar olur.
is a stringer.
make up all stairs.
bir merdiven oluştururlar.
from the first time someone said,
şöyle demesiyle ortaya çıktı:
from the lower rock."
üstteki kayaya çıkmak istiyorum.''
using whatever was available:
kullanarak çıktılar:
that were worn over time.
doğal yaya yolları.
like the pyramids in Chichén Itzá
Chichén Itzá piramitleri
to a higher elevation,
gitmekte kullanılan araçlardı,
for worship or for protection.
amaçlı gittikleri yerler.

to, say, an old pub,
tamamen farklı bir deneyim,
so you move more quickly.
bu yüzden hızla hareket ediyorsunuz.

işaret verdiğini düşünün
after September 11th
yapılan saldırı sonunda
in leading hundreds of people to safety.
doğru yönlendiren önemli bir rolü vardı.
can have a huge impact, too.
devasa etkileri olabilir.
that invites neighbors to gather,
kullandığınız bir yer,
wanting to hang out on the stairs.
insanları görmek büyüleyici bir şey.
a deeply human need we have
derin bir boşuğu dolduruyorlar;
more than just on the ground plane.
biraz daha alan doldurma isteği.
halfway up there,
ortasında oturabiliyorsanız
