Turkish Vowel Harmony and Consonant Mutation - Learn Turkish

[@LearnTurkishwithGokberk]

For those who don't understand what back/front rounded/unrounded mean, let me briefly explain again. Back/Front is the tongue position inside the mouth when voicing a vowel. Rounded and Unrounded are the shape of the lips we make for the vowels. The categorize vowel harmony according those aspects. Then we select the appropriate suffix ending to a word according to the last vowel of the word. If the last vowel of a word ends with a back vowel, we select an ending that also has a back vowel and vice versa. When a suffix has 4 variations, we also put into account the rounded unrounded feature for the appropriate suffix ending. Feel free to ask me any other questions if you have ;)

[@mimielsaadi4522]

Still NOT CLEAR BACK AND FRONT ...ROUNDED AND UNROUNDED...PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR. THANKS ALOT

[@petrash5245]

You said that if we want to change from noun to adjective we add lı or li but then you also put other suffixes, how do we differentiate? And thank you

I find this course to be a real language learning course, while many other series are limited to teaching some expressions and fun things, this course guides you to the right and fundamental path of learning Turkish.

Sir, I mean how to know which suffix has four forms, Like DI ? Thank you so much for the video, Sir.

[@LearnTurkishwithGokberk]

Unfortunetly, you can't know it by yourself. The only way to know is by learning it from the grammar explanation and later memorizing the fact that it has four forms.

Merhaba hocam! I have one question. Adjectives such as"nazik", if I want to say that I am polite how will I say it in Turkish, "nazikim" or naziğim"? Thank you.

[@LearnTurkishwithGokberk]

Merhaba Fiza! Yes, we add the "Present To Be Person Suffix" which is "-im" right after the Adjective. The word "Nazik" is effected by "Consonant Assimilation" so we have to change the "K" to the "Ğ" letter. We would say "Naziğim". Because there are only a number of letters that are used in Consonant Assimilation, simply memorize those letters and their assimilation. Don't forget that Proper Nouns like person/place/corporation/etc. names are not effected by Consonant Assimilation. You're doing great ;)

Hocam if I want to say "tell me" in Turkish, the verb "anlatmak" , so anlat + ın (formal) will it become "anladın" and it means something else.Please explain this. Thank you

[@LearnTurkishwithGokberk]

"Anlatmak" and "anlamak" are two different verbs. "Anlat+ın" means (please) tell , a polite order. "Anla+dın" means "you understood". So "anlat" and "anla" are two different verbs.

Teacher, thank you so much. But please stop pronouncing word as “vert”…

The Germans do this. But as was explained, the Turkish alphabet doesn't have a "W" so when you've spent your life speaking one dialect, it's very hard to change your pronunciation to please everyone. 🙂

In back vowel harmony why is r pronounced as sh

You probably misheard it. Could you tell me which word you heard the r as sh? In Turkish sounds don't change according position.
