This is a corner for those of you who are interested in learning Turkish. Just for info, I am not interested because of the Mouhanad and Nour series, or all those new ones they have now on TV… so just for us to be clear. It’s just a genuine interest in the culture (alright alright, it could also be how Tarkan sounds in songs hhhhhh)… No seriously, language freaks do not need a reason to learn a language, they just learn it.
So, we are not going to study intensive grammar. We just want to learn the basics, how to say greetings, and make basic sentences…
I already know a few words:
Merhaba = Hi, hello.
Selam = Salam, peace, a greeting
Ben iyiyim = I am fine
It’s okay Mad, another time when you have a free space in your brain
Turkish is definitely easier, look at the words, they are almost Arabic hhhhheeeh
Any other Arabic looking and sounding words are welcome ya ustada, to encourage us.
ayayayayyyyy glad to see this thread, but i’d like to outline the rules before we commence, class:
Rule #1: If you need to ask a question raise your hand.
Rule #2: Do not speak over me when i am explaining something
Rule #3: Do not ask complex questions and make my life harder
Rule #4: We will have a test every week so prepare well.
I’d love to begin guys and girls, let me know where i should start from…
kaghit is very similar to ka??t in pronounciation… im just thinking how i say it, and its like: kya-?t… do u know the turk?sh ? is? its a different vowel sound… ?ts pronounced l?ke the second e ?n legend
