As a Spaniard living in Turkey I struggle so much with the Turkish "how are you". Spaniards absolutely mean it when they say it, so when I hear it I find myself explaining my day, then I ask "how are you" and I get iyiyim ben de. Olmaz ama! Bir anlatsana! 😅

[@BayPizzaTR]

🤣🤣 I'm a Turk who was born in Germany and raised with German culture, nowadays I'm living in Turkey... And if my friends asking me as "naber?", I'm replying as "don't ask me that question, cuz I know that there is no point behind that question, you don't really care if I'm doing good or bad".

[@FannyPlusvi]

Perhaps that's in Spain. But I also speak spanish from south america and If somebody greets me with a " How are you?" I would never answer with a description of my situation, I would answer "Fine, thank you, and you?" And not expectig more answer that "Fine, thank you". - Cómo estas? - Bien, gracias, y tu? - Bien, gracias. And that's it. Then you can start a real conversation.

[@joaoluiz1114]

Same as in Latin America, compared to Spain (specially Catalunia and Euskadi, where people are much more direct), and , much more, to Northern Europe. Turkey is similar to Latin America in many aspects (not just the Fiat/Tofas cars). The "Ahorita" in Mexican Spanish are also a confuse word. Some concepts such as high/low context culture, peach/coconut, colectivist/individualist explain a lot.

"Ne yapiyorisun" as "what're you doing" with an answer of "I'm good" is pretty well the same as English "How're you doing" and the answer "I'm fine"

[@emrenindunyas8217]

After 5:50, *it is the same in Greek. "How are you?" in Greek is actually "Πώς είσαι;" (Pós íse?), but almost all the Greeks use "Τι κάνεις;" (Ti kánis?) which means "What are you doing?".

I am a young 60 and before the internet we read and understood that Turkish was not an Indo European language. I studied Turkish back in 2007, there were no online languages then. The first day I got to Istanbul I settled in and headed out to eat after taking a cannabis capsule. At a restaurant they had FOX TURK and as my cannabis gripped me in Turkish Delight , I just listened to that musical language, all I can say is "it sounded like Western Japanese".

[@loraivanova8635]

As a Bulgarian who has been learning Turkish for years I can confirm Turkish is a crazy language! 😅😅 Its logic is so different and you basically must think backwards in order to understand the structure of the sentences. Also I remember how surprised I was years ago when I learnt that in Turkish you don't conjugate the verbs "var" and "yok" but instead say "there is my book" (kitabım var) or "there isn't my book" (kitabım yok). There are so many other more confusing examples but that's what came to my mind now... But also as a Bulgarian some things sound natural to me because for example we say "ts" and "of", too.

Nasılsın sorusuna teşekkür etmemizin sebebi o kişinin bizi umursayıp değer verdiği için halimizi hatrımızı sorması. Yıllarca böyle düşündüm. Sadece benim fikrim mi bilmiyorum. Ayrıca o kişinin nasılsın diye sorması karşıdakiyle muhabbet açmaya çalışması da demek. Hatta bunu "nerelisin hemşerim" diyerek de yaparlar. Bizim iyiyim dememizin sebebi de pek çok şey olabilir. 1-dertlerimi açacak kadar samimi değiliz. 2-dertlerimi açarak zayıf yanımı gösteremem. 3-kendi dertlerimle karşıdakinin canını sıkamam. 4-özel hayatıma burnunu sokma. 5-halinden şikayet etmemek. 6-Anlatsam destan olur, nefesimi yoracak takatim yok 7-Hakkaten iyiyim yav :) Ayrıca benim mantığıma göre 2 elma zaten çoğul. O yüzden ayrıca çoğul yapmaya gerek kalmıyor. Yoksa elma-lar-lar gibi bişey oluyor.

Hey Resat, amazing content! I taught Turkish in the US for a year and you have no idea how many of my students struggled with the plurals. It’s also insane to me how most of the Turkish coursebook materials out there just straight out forget to mention this rule. You pretty much covered all of the peculiarities of Turkish. As a sociolinguistics nerd, I’d like to add my own 2 cents regarding some of things that we say that are “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. I think it’s great that you’re playing along with all of the wrong usage :) Language is not a list of rules that we read off of a book, languages are what we speak. We make the rules, we change the rules, languages are alive and flexible. I’m all for having a descriptive approach and accepting the languages as they are, rather than having a prescriptive one. So what if we reply to “iyiyim” to the question “ne yapıyorsun”? Speakers of all languages say stuff that do not conform to grammatical rules or semantics, but this is how things start to become grammatical in time and rules change. None of the books teach you that instead of “should have known”, many Americans would say “should of known” in real life. Who knows, grammar books could start teaching the phrase “should of + past participle” in X years. That is why languages are fun! I actually respect linguistic purists, because I know they are all doing it with the best intentions of preserving the language. I’m just trying to offer a different perspective here :) Anyway, thanks for the video! i’m a Turkish native speaker, yet had so much fun watching the video! Also, great content for Turkish as a second language classes :) If I ever do go back to teaching Turkish, I will definitely make my students watch this video!

Bana iki elma ver dediğinde aslında 'Bana iki tane elma verir misin?' demek istiyorsun. Apples'taki s harfi de taneyi kast ediyor. Biz taneyi söylemeden iki elma diyoruz. Elmaları ver dediğimizde de kaç tane olduğunu kast etmiyoruz. Kast ettiğimiz ve karşıdakinin de bildiği bir elma grubunu biz alıyoruz. Bunun haricinde "Kör olası çöpçüler, aşkımı süpürmüşler." örneğinde çöpçüler'deki -ler çoğul eki ama süpürmüşler'deki ler ise 3. çoğul şahıs eki. Burada bir ilginçlik yok aslında, hatta bana kalırsa diğer dillerden daha da mantıklı.

Italian senteces are the same, when you need to point out " that's you, who have to do something,not others" like in the example of the school: truly same!

[@lordofdalkiran]

i love Italian language and try to learn by solo at home. i found very similarities with Italians and the language usage. --Optional subject pronoun usage --Verb conjugations --accusative/dative cases --Sounds are very similar, almost phonetic like Turkish. We have modified latin alphabet 2.0 Ce= Ç , Sc=Ş --Common words-pronounciations almost same: Banka, Bankomat, Palyaço, Makina, Lokanta, Çikolata, Çimento, Gazete, Fiyasko, Lira What is interesting ? Surprising moment when i study Italian. Turkish Pasta--Italian Torta Makarna--Pasta (Turkish Makarna also derived from italian, maccherone) Why we mess up italian origin words like that i dont know. Pizza = Pizza (But we dont pronounce 'pitsa', zz=ts sound, why italians pronounce this z, double z unique ? interesting. for our ears: pizza .) Italian don't sound 'h' sound like silent letter. Thracians dialect in Turkey has similar usages, ignoring ''h''. they don't sound hayvan, instead ayvan. Ala Turka, Ala franka -- Alla Turca . ( aaa this is Italian phrase it means Turkish style, we use it in our daily lives but never think its origin before) England- Anglese etc. Why we call 'ingiltere'' aa it is also italian Roma, İtalyan, Türkiye pronunciations almost same.

[@marycarmenuriarte6984]

I really liked this video. I have bien studying turkish for almost two years (Not At school, just by myself). At the beginning I struggled a lot with the sentence structure until I just got used to say it exactly on the opposite way that I will say it in English or Spanish. I practiced last year when I went to Istanbul on vacation and turkish people liked a lot to see a tourist trying to comunicate in their language. I hope to go back soon.

Devrik cümleleri çok kullanan biri olarak İngilizce'de yazı yazarken gerçekten çok fazla zorlanıyorum. Acayip sinir bozucu bu durum cümle esnekliğinin bir dilde olmaması benim gibiler için. Örneğin; 2. cümleyi İngilizce çevireceğim derken götüm çıktı. (deyimleri de çok kullanıyoruz, bunu da anlatabilirsin.) 😂 As someone who uses flexible sentences a lot in Turkish, I have a really hard time writing in English. For people like me, the lack of sentence flexibility in a language is incredibly frustrating. For example, I had a lot of trouble translate my second sentence in Turkish into English.

I'd love to watch a video about different sounds in Turkish. I absolutely love the 'cik sound'. I mean we do have sounds like this in other languages too 'm-h' for 'yes' in German or 'm-m' (two glottal stops) for 'nein'. I kinda feel these sounds add to the uniqueness of a language and show a certain kind of intimacy because they are used rather informally and it's a bit like 'speaking without words and yet you understand me'.

I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclosemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.

I want to help you but I didn't understand what exactly confuse you: "русский" is a nominative case, русском - do you mean "на русском?". If yes it's the same as "по-русски". Like Ты говоришь по-русски/на русском (языке)? (Do you speak Russian (language)? "Вон тот" "вон те" - it is an indicator of the thing located far from you.

In Indonesian we also have plural forms and singular form. Plural form is done by replicating the word, like word apple is "apel", word "apples" is "apel-apel". but in case we combine with numbers we don't use the plural, it becomes "dua apel" means "two apples", dua apel-apel means 2 groups of apples, same like in Turkish. the way we think is because we use multiplication way of thinking. English is descriptive to describe numbers. Indonesian is multiplicative. So if English says, those are apples. and the apples are (the amount is) two. But in Indonesian we say 2 x apel

Even now i have trouble understanding because of the topic of the sentence. I mean, i can drink a coffee until the verb is coming 😁My conclusion is that Turkish is intuitive and consists of phrasal blocks inside a big big block phrase. I have two favorite words that help in everyday speech. Diye and Ki. It's very interesting to use them. Maybe you can make a video for each of them 🙂Romanya'dan selamlar.

"Do you like it?" - "Tebe nravitsia?" ("To you [is it being] liked?"). "She feels bad" - "Jej plocho" ("To her [it is] bad").

This has really helped me understand these bizarre things I keep noticing (this and the mispronunciation video you did!) So I'm not going nuts after all. THANK YOU teşekkürler !

I am really in love with Turkish... you've just gained a sub and a student... iam learning on Duo lingo😂...but I learnt my counting with you... keep teaching 😅

[@FannyPlusvi]

In Venezuela we also do the cik sound, but in different situations. When things didn't go as planned or when something bothers you or as an answer for somethig absurd. " You like that boy, don't you? Cik, you are crazy, I don't!" Or in "Cik, my car won't start". And Uf is also used. Go and do your homework, Answer: Ufff! ( as in I don't feel like)

[@lyncarlisle8013]

Thank you for this. I am trying to learn Turkce and I am just starting to get it after 2 yrs. Planing a trip next year.

Uzun zamandır en keyif aldığım videoydu 😂

[@lynvrny]

Merhabalar, Meksikali erkek arkadasim Turkce ogrenmek istedigi icin videolar ararken kanaliniza rastladim ve cok aciklayici anlatiyorsunuz lutfen bu tur icerikler cekmeye devam edin ayrica egitim videolari cekeceginizi duyduguma da cok sevindim. Gecenlerde konusurken Turkceyle ilgili daha once farketmedigim bir sey farkettim ve paylasmak istiyorum. Birini cok sevdigimizde "Seni yerim" diyoruz. Bunun bi anlami yok aslinda ama birinde sevdigimiz ve begendigimiz fiziksel ozellikleri de hep bir besine benzeterek iltifarlarda bulunuyoruz. Mesela "zeytin goz, findik burun, elma yanak, bal dudak". Belki zamanla bu sebepten seni yerim demeye baslamis olabiliriz diye dusundum. Video icin tesekkurler, devamini bekliyoruz!!!!!

[@annatamparow4917]

[@diananicholas6007]

In my country Jamaica where we speak english or patwaa we used the cik sound when someone one annoyes us (english )badda wi (patwaa )

[@FannyPlusvi]

Same in Venezuela. "Cik, this mosquitoes are bothering me!"

5:08 I mean in French when someone says "Ça va ?", we often reply with "Ça va." which is weird from the perspective of many other languages.

[@ashouse1111]

I learn French.... and this is really weird to me

[@francophone.]

@@ashouse1111 It makes sense to me, except when you tranlate it literally into another language. But here is a close approximation (but it is grammatically incorrect and not a literal translation) : Doing well? Doing well. Ça va is kind of an impersonal expression, I guess. You can't add a pronoun to it like "You" or "I", that would not be correct, whereas you need to do exactly that to make "Doing well" be correct: Are you doing well? I am doing well. This still isn't something that is said in English afaik. As I said before, it also isn't a literal translation of ça va (that would be "It goes"). It is just go explain how it isn't weird. A close example would be this: It's going well? It's going well. Though I added some words. I hope this will help it seem less weird.

ben bir yıl önce şaka gibi türkçe öğrenmeye başladım. Sınav yapmayı düşünmedim. ama öğretmenim ısrar etti. bu yüzden iki kez sınava girdim. a1 ve a2 seviyesi. şimdi devam ediyorum b1. Reşat çok teşekkür ederim çünkü bana cesaret verdin. çok zor bir dil ama çok seviyorum

[@chri5toph_k]

In Russian "I have" is most of the time constructed as у меня есть, which is literally "with me is ..." or in German "bei mir ist... " Then the word "be" also somehow disappeared completely, except in the just mentioned construction of "to have", while other slavic languages still have it. I'm a student would be "я студент", while for example in Czech it is "Ja jsem student" And finally the number system in Russian is insane. A number ending with 1 needs singular in the nominative case (apple = яблоко), 2-4 needs ALSO singular, but in genitive (яблока) and 5-0 genitive plural (яблок), except 11-19 which all need genitive plural. So there are interesting similarities

[@tuanadenizb]

I never thought I could find similarities in Malay, my ex's language which I learned, and Turkish, my mother's language! • The word "be" is not commonly used. Be in Malay is "adalah" or "ialah" but you generally drop it from your sentence. • The word "have" is not used in the same way it is in English. It's just like turkish. to say "I have a car" in Malay, you need to use the Malay version of "var", which is "ada". It would be like: I + there is + car ( Saya ada kereta) • There are no gender pronouns in Malay, It only has "Dia" = "O" in Turkish, and for inanimate objects, "Itu". • The plurals are not always made, when you have a number or a plural indicator in front of the noun, you don't make it plural. In Malay, plurals are made by repeating the word: for example, a person means "orang", and people mean "orang-orang" but if you put 2 in front of orang, you shouldn't pluralize it. Dua orang means Two people. (Dua = Two) • The use of a lot of metaphors and idioms (OMG in both languages, I have hardships understanding all these metaphors, especially in Turkish and I am tired of either asking what they mean or trying to understand it on my own.) • Both languages are easy to read there aren't many pronunciation rules or alphabets with alternating voices

Videoların gerçekten çok iyi. Farklı diller konuşuyor olman dile olan yaklaşımını olumlu yönde geliştirmiş. Ben de anadilim Tükçe dahil 3 dil biliyorum ve videolarını zevkle izliyorum. Tebrik ederim.

[@tahirsevinc5734]

👏 harika bir içerik

[@yulia4886]

Been struggle to learning this language and still on fire 🔥 I know Turkish totally DIFFERENT with others ama O dile aşiğim..napicaamm😅

[@gladysgimenez8067]

I love Turkish series & watch with translation app. Enjoy your videos very much. There are two expressions that I just can’t make any sense of. Why is the word “su” (water) used so frequently in sentences. Also, what does it mean to use “dondu” (frozen). How may I interpret this? Again, thank you for your videos. 😊👍👍👍

[@aliatack19]

Could those words be "şu" instead of "su" and "döndü" instead of "dondu", by any chance? Because şu means "that" whereas su literally means water. And döndü means "(something/someone) returned or turned".

[@dsaddfgs1186]

donmak means frozen dönmek means to turn su is water şu is that/this

[@gladysgimenez8067]

Thank you! 😃

Böyle videolar daha da gelsinn. Ana dilimi aynı şekilde onun da ana dili olan, yabancılar için anlatan insanları izlemek çok eğlenceli ve senin yapman çok daha iyi oluyo abshdnvjbgfud

I really like your channel. I am learning Turkish. Your videos are very clear cut and cut to the chase videos. Your video on learning days of the week and time was really helpful. In learning about how to remember days of the week in Turkish. I listen to a lot of Turkish music now. Do you or any of your other subscribers have recommendation for Turkish music? So far I am liking Tarkan and Hande Yener. There are some others. But those two artists come to mind right away. Greetings from British Columbia Canada.

What i love about our beloved turkish is when your words ends differently given the context. LOVE IT 😀 damn i be forgetting how to end a word in a sentence and just end up butchering it. Luckily my fellow turks understand me anyway and also realize my asss is a "foreigner" so to speak.

[@zsoltkosa1610]

9'40: it is the same in Hungarian. the structure to say "I have a car" is also the same.

[@patrykgrabowski2327]

That's so similar to Polish and Russian, we also don't use "be" or "have". Both are agglutinin languages and you get the meaning from the context by adding suffixes. We also don't use word "I", like "I am", we just say "am" in many different ways cos because of suffixes it's not important to pronounce subjects, you get them from context. Turkish is very different to Polish or Russian but the logic and the whole phylology is very similar :-)

[@isabelsakura2420]

Hi ,thank you from Canada 🇨🇦

[@FannyPlusvi]

"Me vino como agua de lluvia" ( it came as water rain) meaning it was very oportune. "Se partió la espalda trabajando" ( he broke his back working) meaning he worked a lot. "Me partí la cabeza tratando de entender"(I broke my head trying to understand) meaning it was hard to understand. "Me partió el alma" ( it broke my soul) it made me sad. "Me costó un ojo de la cara"( it cost me and eye of my face) meaning it was expensive. And in a more vulgar way "Me rompieron el culo" ( they broke my as) or "Me costó un huevo" ( it cost me a testicle) both very used in Argentina 😂
