People Try To Pronounce The HARDEST Words In TURKISH! l Indonesia, USA, Brazil, Spain, Turkey

00:15 Turkish and Arabic are completely different languages. Turkish is a Turkic language. (Turkish is 15% loanwords. But this doesn't mean It has an Arabic vibe. They sound so different. They are belonged to different language families. English has 30% French words. Does it give a french vibe?) Here is a explanatory video about Turkish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKGZfX6fitaZhZYsi=x04509ekIG3rMjdQ (There is a controversial proposal that Japonic, Koreanic, Turkish, Finnish, and Hungarian belong to the same language family, called the Altaic languages. Korean, Japanese, and Turkish are more similar to each other in terms of grammar than they are to Arabic. They share the same syntax and other grammatical features. All of these Altaic languages are agglutinative.)

[@greateacheronizuka]

I mean Turkish has a lot of words coming from Arabic even tho is a Turkic language itself. Even for Hello, we say "Merhaba" or "Selam" which both of them are coming from Arabic.

​​@@greateacheronizukaThere are many Persian words in Turkish, such as düşman, dost, canım, kahraman, ayna, üstad, and others. The Persian and Arabic loanwords in Turkish enhance the beauty of the language, which has descended from Old Turkic (Göktürk era) through Seljuk-era Oghuz Turkic, making it even more beautiful and pleasant.

I want to say that arabic and turkish are not similar. Actually we have so many words which come from french. Also we Turkish people are not arabic and not using arabic. When our founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk saved the country, he changed everythink. The language, the alphabet and much more. Even before Turkish Republic turkish people were not using arabic. They were using a language called ottoman turkish. So we have no similarities at all.

[@RealEpya]

@@muziksever_13 this is not correct. We still have the most loanwords from arabic and persian. French is a lot too, but not quite as many as the others. You probably just don't realize it because the words have been manifested in the turkish langauge for hundreds of years. Some examples are Kagit, Kalem, Kitap, Hayat, Zaman etc. Obviously Turkish is another language branch than arabic, but we do have a lot of words in common.

The letter “ğ” actually means the previous letter is elongated. So Kağıt (paper) would be Kaaıt, Ayçiçeği Çekirdeği would be Ayçiçeei Çekirdeei (Sunflower Seed), Sığır Eti (Beef)would be Sııır Eti. Also “kağıt” is no longer written with â, it was changed a while back. 😊

[@Sonilotos]

The interesting thing with "kağıt" is that the "-ağı-" part of it isn't quite pronounced the same as a standard Turkish word would be. What I mean is that the "a" sort of becomes a schwa sound "ə" (like the "e" in "chicken".

I think it is because Spanish only has 5 sounds, so it's easier to be forgiving because even If you say it slightly different the meaning will not change. But Turkish seems to have a lot of slightly different vowels and maybe saying the wrong one will make it actually hard to understand or even change the meaning.

Considering the fact that neither English nor Indonesian nor Spanish nor Portuguese have any ö and ü sounds, they all did surprisingly well... I bet for a speaker of French, German, Hungarian or Swedish, the words would not be too hard to pronounce.

[@jpdj2715]

In Dutch we have eu (ö) and u (ü) like in French. As in French there are roughly two ways to pronounce eu (leur, peu) we have that too. But, we have another ablauted vowel: ui, still. Close to eu, bot to us far from. In grammar school we would pronounce the classical Greek eu as our ui - whether that was correct? Your guess is as good as mine - it was about texts written some 2,500 years ago.

[@wingedhussar1117]

@@chicotchello372 You confuse letters with sounds... The "ü" in Portuguese does not make the same sound as the latter "ü" in German or Turkish.

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

We kind of have the sound ü in Portuguese but only in rapid speech with a lower tone of voice, vários (several) in my accent (Rio de Janeiro) will be pronounced [ˈväɾʲʏɕ] instead of [ˈväɾjʊɕ] like it would be in careful speech, de fininho (quietly and furtively) will become [d̥ʒ̊ fɪ̥ˈn̠ʲɪ̃ʏ̯̃] instead of [dʑɪ fɪˈn̠ʲɪ̃j̃ʊ] and so on. You can see this in how Brazilians will represent -inho as -im (bonitim, fofim, grandim for cute x2 and "more grownup than previous smol state") in eye dialect for the speech of a rural person (say, the Chico Bento characters), but that's absolutely not the same sound in make in fim (end) or carmim (rouge), which is [ɪ̃ɰ̟̃]. The average native speaker doesn't realize these extremely specific details about the phonology of their own language, though.

Also, the /u/ phoneme in English is quite fronted in some words, like cute.

@@PlasticSkies-e9k For the İstanbul dialect taught to foreigners, there is no exact pronunciation of “Ğ”. It either has the function of lengthening/contracting the preceding sound or in some cases forming a “Y” sound. "Ağır = A:ır", "İğne = İyne", "Bekleyeceğim = Beklicem", however, it can make a softer or harder H sound for other dialects which may be challenging for foreigners to understand natives using different dialects other than İstanbul dialect.

As someone with English as their mother-tongue and who can speak French, Spanish, Italian and German, one of the first things I noticed with these languages was how they helpfully had wee squiggles (umlauts, accents, graves, tildes etc.) over/under some letters as an aid to pronunciation. English is lazy in this respect and just expects everyone to get it without these diacritical marks. I often feel sorry for the average English learner in this regard. For example, letters ‘ough’ can be pronounced a ridiculous number of different ways in English: tough, cough, plough, dough, bought, through, thorough, hiccough, hough, lough! And not a single diacritical mark to help with pronunciation!

5:53 The person who said 'it does like nothing to me' about 'ğ' was actually the closest to the correct rule. In words, 'ğ' isn’t pronounced distinctly; instead, it lengthens the vowel that precedes it. For example, when pronouncing the word "kağıt", you don’t need to say "kaĞıt", you need to say "kaaıt"-with a soft and elongated 'a' sound. To master the pronunciation of kağıt, think of the English word "cat". The first two letters in both words are pronounced similarly. If you use "cat" as a reference, saying kaaıt (excluding the 'ı' sound) shouldn't feel too challenging.

[@jijobuje]

Couldnt agree more.

[@luancsf123]

She's Brazilian, not Portuguese.

[@GodWindu]

turkish just formalizes the “ı” sound that exists naturally in many languages but often goes unnoticed or unmarked. it’s like turkish decided to shine a light on a sound others left in the shadows.

[@GodWindu]

oh! OH! also every english word ends with "en" is actually, phonetically an "ın" frightın tightın oh oh and evın buttın.

[@greateacheronizuka]

​@@GodWindu Yeah literally the Invisible letter which all languages have it.

[@theyunij]

ğ is changes the letter next to it > way

Bir sonraki sefer de lütfen ''muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine'' söyletir misiniz?

[@enesa6489]

As a "Ğ" protectors union, I want to condemn any person who claims It is a silent letter and doesnt have a sound :D The denial of this letter is a shame :D

[@Gotcha-yz6wp]

Most people in Turkiye pronounce "kâğıt" wrongly. It is normal for foreigners.

[@Abcdef321-l2r]

İngilizce, Korece, Arapça ve İspanyolca biliyorum. Onlarda d farklı harfler var bir kez olsun bu kadar şov yapmadım bence biz ülke olarak dillerin telaffuzunu öğrenmek de çok iyiyiz. Ö zor değil ki Korece de "r, l" olarak telaffuz edilen bir harf var ve onlar kadar zorlanmadım yani

[@Noirjk]

I'd say ğ is rather a softer h than g when it's pronounced.

It is funny even tho im from türkiye.In middle school students would make fun of other students pronancation about "kağıt".

I live in Turkey (Not born LIVE) I'm dying inside 😭😭😭

[@CengizSaimBerhan]

in soft g (Ğ/ğ) only keep former letter longer

[@tunahanbetin]

[@Aykut772]

If they say it sounds like Arabic one more time, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

[@aleynamorca1365]

Using "y" instead "ğ" is a common mistake. Especially saying "eyer" instead of "eğer"

[@furkancayoglu8885]

İyi de bunlar zor değil ki bunlara muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştireveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine sormaları lazım. 😊

[@talipkaya7004]

Kağıt 🤔 kagıt🔥

[@ananasmatik]

Kağıt is not pronounced like that, it’s like kağt without “ı”, many turkish people always say it wrong

Turkish sounds like Korean and Japanese

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

Noooo it sounds like Hungarian, Welsh and Guaraní 😆 Korean sounds like you speak with your mouth full and Japanese like you are imitating the sounds of a flock of parrots

[@ctct12300]

@@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr No, it doesn't look like Hungarian at all. Hungarian sounds like Persian.

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

@@ctct12300 closer than Korean or Japanese still. even Hindi, Indonesian and Tagalog closer. and again, young people in Korean sound like they're stumbling on their own words due to having food in the mouth, I don't know why that would be attractive. old people at least speak Korean in a lovely way.

[@ctct12300]

@@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr What I usually hear from foreigners is that they compare Turkish to bird chirping.

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

@@ctct12300 yes it's definitely like a literal turkey. I guess it's similar to Japanese in that sense of being bird-like.

[@rheniumgaming2492]

why doesn't anybody teach a trick for foreigners about soft g ? Just pronounce previous letter longer than continue with others like öööretmen, ayçiçeei etc. It is like a connecting letter, there are no words starting with soft g in turkish. I think foreigners can learn faster and doesn't afraid from soft g in that way. Other letters are rather easy for foreigners to understand like Ç -> ch or Ş -> sh or Ö something like ugh
