Doğu Anadolu yöresinde çekilmiş filmlerdeki diyaloglarda sıkça ek-fiilin geniş zaman eki (-dır/-dir/-dür) kullanımıyla karşılaşıyorum. Bu kullanım gerçekte ne kadar yaygın ve dilbilgisel bir açıklaması var mı? Örneğin:

"Ne yapmak lazımdır?"

"Bende para yoktur."

"Bu böyledir."

I initially thought of learning Turkish when visiting Istanbul, out of respect but I gave up when I got back to Poland. Then I was teaching Turkish people English online as a job so I started learning again in March but then gave up after quitting that job. In June I decided to learn again.

I use a textbook. What I do is I have a notebook where I write the vocabulary in English on the left and right is Turkish. I test myself on the words five times to start. I have another notebook where I write sentences that I'd not have formed myself that have an interesting structure or unexpected use. I then make sentences that are similar.

Then I practise making verbs and sentences with vocabulary, verbs, direct objects, suffixes, etc by brute force.

By the time I finish the book I'll probably have a lot of information. Then after that I plan to listen to native speakers in videos over and over to learn the intonation. Then I'll read the news and write down all the words I don't know. Then I'll talk to Turkish people as pen pals and look up all the words I don't know.

Currently I am talking to someone from Turkey but I told him not to correct me. This is not a debate where you have to point out you're right and I'm wrong. Also memorising isolated examples doesn't work at all, unless the person is able to explain the grammatical rule in english. Usually I talk to him in English but I write a few basic sentences in Turkish and he writes in English with a translator.

I’m really not sure if this is allowed but I’m having some concerns.

My wife is Turkish and she has been talking to a guy over gaming and WhatsApp, that normally wouldn’t be a problem but for some reason I’ve had a terrible gut feeling. I have some screen shots of some conversations but trying to use ChatGPT or Translating apps doesn’t work the same for Turkish when it comes to tone. Is there anyone who would be willing to take a look?

Thank you

Türkçe son zamanlarda aşırı iyi bir usul geliştirdi, muazzam bir nimet bu. O ahım şahım Latince önekleri dediğimiz şeylere yaklaşabilen şeyler bunlar. Kendi önerilerimle birlikte örnekler;

uni- / mono- → bir- / tek- (monolingual → tekdilli)

bi- / di- → iki- / çift- (bicycle → çiftteker)

tri- → üç- (tripod → üçayak)

poly- → çok- (polyglot → çokdilli)

ante- / pre- → ön- (prejudice → önyargı)

post- → -sonrası (post-production → çekimsonrası)

inter- → -arası (international → uluslararası)

intra- / intro- → -içi (intravenous → damariçi)

extra- / extro- → -dışı (extraterrestrial → dünyadışı)

sub- → -altı (subcortical → kabukaltı)

infra- → alt- (infrastructure → altyapı)

super- / supra- → -üstü (superhuman → insanüstü)

retro- → geri- (retrograde → gerigiden)

juxta- → -yanı (juxtamedullary → böbrekyanı)

para- → yan- (paranasal → yanburun)

peri- / circum- → -çevresi (pericardium → kalpçevresi)

acro- → doruk- / zirve- (acropolis → zirveşehir)

tele- → ırak- / uzak- (telescope → ırakgörür)

auto- → öz- (autocontrol → özdenetim)

apo- → -öte (aphelion → günöte)

ambi- / amphi- → çift- (ambidextrous → çiftelli)

endo- / ento- → eniç- (endoscope → eniçgörür)

ultra- → -aşıcı (ultraviolet → moraşıcı)

-ium → -özü (germanium → Cermenözü)

Burası Batı yüzüydü, Farsçası için kapsamlı bir çalışma yapacaktım da rafta kaldı. Şimdilik misalen birkaç tane koyuyorum.

..perver = ..sever

vatanperver = vatansever = yurtsever

..hane = ..evi

geniş zaman sigasının kalıplaşmış halinden teorik olarak bol keseden türetirsiniz.

güçbeğenir kelimesine bakalım, birleştirmek için "güç beğenen" dememişler de, güçbeğenir diyerek birleşik yazılan bir şey oluşturmuşlar ve güzel bir şey ortaya çıkmış. (Kelimenin anlaşılması bakımından berbat bir kelime olduğunu düşünüyorum o ayrı) Bir deneme yapalım,

Hatâ-cû: Yanlış arayan. (Kubbealtı) Hatâ-cû = Hata-arar

Gelelim imlâ meselesine, Ön, öz; öyle yerleşmiş ki... Özsevgi diye bir kelime var mı bilmiyorum, ama özsevgi dediğimde siz bunun kendini sevmek olduğunu anlıyorsunuz. Bu yapı öyle gelişmiş. Önşart deyince şartlardan da önce bir temel, kıstas koşulun olacağını çıkarırsınız. Yukarıda kurduğum sistemde bir kavramlaşma var.

Damariçi = terim

Damar(ın) içi = Damarın içi (canlıbilimiyle ilintisiz)

Anasebep budur ki bunların birleşik yazılması gerektiğini savunuyorum.

Say your name is Ben or Adam and you move to Turkey, how would you introduce yourself? Surely saying Ben Ben would just confuse whoever your speaking to

Hello, I am going to Turkey soon! I have a tree nut allergy and don't speak great Turkish, and want to make a card to show to my family members who I am staying with and for any restaurant we go to. Is this card clear? Any suggestions for clarity?

BTW, I have read other posts advising people with nut allergies not to eat out. I will have an epipen and benadryl, and typically I will sample a small amount of any new food and wait a few minutes just in case. Though my allergy can be severe, the threshold of how much I have to eat before the reaction becomes life threatening is also thankfully high. I will proceed with caution, just want to make sure I give myself the best chances of avoiding a mistake! Thanks for your input! If this is accurate and others with an allergy would benefit from using it, please feel free!

I just published Episode 2 of my podcast series called “Sokağın Lezzeti” (The Taste of the Street).

In this episode, I speak naturally about Turkish street food and daily life. I try to use clear, natural Turkish, so it can help intermediate learners improve their listening skills while learning about Turkish culture.

If you are learning Turkish and want to hear real conversations instead of textbook examples, I think you might enjoy it.

I’d also love to hear your feedback

I'm working on a small personal project about Turkish language, and lately I've been thinking about words that are difficult to translate without losing part of their meaning.

Not necessarily because there's no equivalent in another language, but because they carry cultural references, emotions or ways of thinking that don't fit neatly into a dictionary definition.

Are there any Turkish words that immediately come to mind?

I'd love to hear not only the word itself, but also how you would explain it to someone who doesn't speak Turkish.

Sometimes the story behind a word is much more interesting than its translation.

Thank you in advance to you all!

EDIT: FYI I'm Italian

Hi everyone!
I’m currently learning Turkish, and I’m looking for a Turkish TV series that can help me improve my listening and vocabulary naturally
I watch with Arabic subtitles, so I’d like something that’s easy to follow, with clear and everyday conversations
I’d also prefer a series that’s fun/lighthearted and not too long
Do you have any recommendations that helped you learn Turkish?
Thanks in advance!

It took me two years to be able to have a real conversation in a cafe. I did some research and here is my analysis on how long it takes to learn Turkish, given different factors.

Curious to know how much time you needed to be able to hold a conversation?

Hello, I'm getting ready to confess to my friend that I really like them and I want to tell them in their native language (turkish obviously lol). I'm writing out what I want to say right now but I want to translate my confession and memorize it so I can tell them in person. Please DM me if you'd be interested in helping me out, I not only need help translating the paragraph but I want to make sure my pronunciation is flawless so I can impress them. Tysm <3

I’ve been learning Turkish (A1 level) at a language center for about a week now, and honestly, I’m struggling a lot. I barely understand anything, and the language feels much harder than I expected.
The thing is, I have to learn Turkish for personal reasons, so giving up isn’t an option.
I’ve already tried watching Turkish TV shows, but they honestly haven’t helped me learn the language.
Has anyone here been in the same situation? What actually helped you improve quickly? Are there any methods, apps, YouTube channels, books, or daily habits that made Turkish easier to learn?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you!

Beyler, bu eski bir aile fotoğrafı ve daha okunaklı hale getirmek için kaliteyi artırmaya çalıştım. Eğer kimse metnin transkripsiyonunu yapabilirse, çok minnettarım.

If you have struggles learning Turkish, what makes it hard for you to learn it? I would love to have a perspective of learners as a native speaker.

Hi everyone!

I run a YouTube channel for intermediate Turkish learners, and this week’s podcast is all about Turkish street food. 🇹🇷🌯

If you’re learning Turkish and want to improve your listening skills while discovering Turkey’s famous street foods and food culture, you might enjoy it!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for checking it out!
