What’s the feminin equivalent for “efendi” ? (hanim ? khanum ?)
han?m is the feminine equivalent of efendi… and guess what? you can even call a lady han?mefendi (han?m + efendi) and in this case you can call a male, beyefendi (bey + efendi)
so I’ll show you examples of how they’re used:
buyrun beyefendi, oturun lütfen.
tfaddal sir, please take a seat.
buyrun Mahmut efendi (or Mahmut bey), oturun lütfen.
tfaddal Mahmut efendi, take a seat.
buyrun Ay?e han?m, girebilirsiniz.
tfaddali lalla Ay?e, you may enter
buyrun han?mefendi, girebilirsiniz
tfaddali madam, you may enter
Lesson Summary:
So I can conclude with, if you’re going to insert the name of the person, you use the short version (efendi/bey or han?m) after the person’s name but if you don’t know their name or you don’t want to say it, just use beyefendi/han?mefendi.
buyrun = tfaddal/tfaddali/tfaddalou
b han?m[/b] = lalla (name)
b bey/efendi[/b] = sidi (name)
beyefendi = monsieur
han?mefendi = madame
girebilirsiniz = you may enter (plural, used for respect)
girebilirsin = you may enter (sg.)
lütfen = please
oturun = sit (plural, command)
otur = sit (sg. command)
In turkish, there is not much differentiation of gender
Touta has a question to our lovely teacher 
What about “aferin” ? I guess it’s smth like good or what ? …and when can we say this ?
aferin means well done/good on you/bravo it’s definitely something good, but sometimes people use it with sarcasm, example:
Me: hey touta i lost my ticket, what am i going to do?? 
Touta: Aferin Aicha Aferin!
here, you’re obviously not saying well done in a positive sense, you’re annoyed at the fact that i did something so stupid.
but then again, you could really mean “well done” , example:
Me: Guess what? I got 99% for my exam!
Touta: Aferin!
Ahh… Thanks canim 
With your examples everything is so clear 
its called da9atu 9alb in arabic and in turkish its called dudaktan kalbe (i think) or however u say hearbeat haha lol its realllllllllllllllly good but its just draggin on now lol :roll:
btw how do u say: be quiet! like 2uscut/i! or in urdu they say: chup!
thank you bzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaf!!! lol
touta, you’re welcome… rica ederim
mini,
be quiet! = sus! / kes sesini! / kapat çeneni!
sus is the easiest and quickest, and it means “be quiet!”
kes sesini literally means, cut off your voice, or “shut it!”
kapat çeneni literally means “shut your chin/mouth!”, it’s a bit more harsher than the above two, and only used when REALLY annoyed.
The one i would prefer is “sus” but with the addition of “please” which is lütfen in turkish, so sus lütfen or susarm?s?n lütfen (can you be quiet please)
hope that’s clear for you
and about that tv show, i don’t watch it, and i never did, it’s lame… like 90% of turkish soaps. dudaktan kalbe literally means from lips to the heart :roll:
lol yeah but its not as lame as arab dramas so i dont mind it but now its draggin so ive stopped lol :roll:
ok so the arabic title isnt a translation of the Turkish one then haha
as for sus its sorta sounds like shush with out the sh haha so im gonna remember that lol
there are better ones out there, if u need some recommendations i can help
yeah sus is pretty much shoush, but without the sh-ing
a very aggressive way of telling someone to be quiet is : konu?ma lan! and its generally used by guys, the literal translation is: don’t talk dude! BUTTTTTTT it sounds far more harsh in turkish, like a very rude command, and you can get hurt for saying it to a random person 
i’m just letting you know in case you hear it.
i just watch what the arab channels broadcast haha lol
ok il be sure to keep that in mind 3icha
yeah sometimes i switch on abu dhabi and i find my fave turkish tv show on so i sit and watch 
it’s good to learn a few colloquial expressions here and there…

hmmmmmmmm trying to think of a quaetion but i cant lol but i shall be sure to come running if i do haha
btw i know this aint got nuffin to do with turkish but it crossed my mind so i thought id ask u lol
wat do aussies say for this: . do u say fullstop like us or period like the americans do lol and do u say trainers or sneakers and pants or trousers?
just curious hehe :hap:
lolll ok we’ll rename this thread “Turkish and How to be AUSSIE classes - with Lalla Aicha”
we say runners/sport shoes, pants & trousers (ive heard mostly pants, and i use pants myself), and we say fullstop… ive never heard someone say period for a [large].[/large] and if i do i think i’ll knock 'em out… i hate american wannabe behaviour.
