Turkish Class - With Lalla Aicha

im gonna use it on my m8s and keep the meaning a secret hehe

being vague and all

yeah we like playin tricks on eachother…its fun hehe :hap:

i see that you call your friends “mates” :smiley: just letting u know that in oz, its mostly guys that refer to their buddies as “mates” … just letting you know in case you care :stuck_out_tongue:

seriously? mytes is how they say it i love it! haha here both girls and guys say it, its like the dude thing again we say both :cool:

looool you guys exagggggerate our accent :smiley: “mytes” what the helllll? :stuck_out_tongue: ok ok ok we DO say it like that, well THEY do, not me :stuck_out_tongue:

just to keep our posts relevant to the thread, mate in turkish is something like abi or birader or koçum but there are soooo many words that fit the position of mate

ya they do its SUCH an aussie word ya an capture ur accent just in that word its cool! haha

i think ama remember abi out of the 3 lol

Students students, i was wondering if you guys are having trouble with the pronunciation of words… so i’m currently looking for good videos to post here that have audio… and if not, i’ll look for actual audio files and upload them to a folder which i’ll link you guys to from here… would that be useful for you?

Is “sabonji” a turkish word ? & if it is, does it mean one who sells/produce sabon (soap) ?

I have this classmate whose surename is Sabonji & she’s Tanjawiya, & a big deal of Tanjawa are Jbala & Ryafa, & a big deal of Jbala & Ryafa are middle-easterners.

Thnx 3eesha hanim

yes it’s turkish, sabuncu is someone who sells/makes soap

no brobz Mahmut efendi :smiley:

I told her that, she was like WTH !! i’m turkish :blink:
I told her that her 17th grandfather was a mool javeel (cleaning products seller) in Turkey :rofl: she was like looooooooool

she was kinda surprised that i did a research on her origins xD

hhhhhhhhhhh you’re a stalker :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

but really, joke aside that is amazing… i guess she has levantine origins rather than turkish coz mid easterners also use the ji suffix with some of their word endings (syrians etc.), but then again a looooooooooot of mid eastern “arabs” also have turkish origins… i love this stuff :smiley:

hi LallaAicha :slight_smile:
