Bacanak: Your wife's sister's husband Elti: Your husband's brother's wife Honestly conversations get complicated sometimes because the word "yenge" could mean both your uncle's wife or your brother's wife... We need new words for that too lol

[@fevzakar8083]

@Umut Ahmet Çetin additionally görümce= your husband's sister kayın=your husband's brother babalık=step dad analık=step mom abla= older sister than you ağabey or in conversations, âbi=older brother than you yeğen=your sister's or brother's child (hemşîrezâde=sister's child, birâderzâde=brother's child. but they can be used rarely in our days) dünür= your child's wife's or husband's mother and father.) and we have lots of words for wife. some of them are vulgar, some of them is really formal. Foe example avrat, hâtun, hanım, refîka(it is used more as refîkalarınız (your wife) or refîkaları(his wife), zevce, karı, eş, ayal and more of them (when you see ^ in the top of the word, you should pronounciate that letter by streching it a little bit)

there are so many weird things in Turkish. I sometimes struggle explaining myself. Same words are used for very different situations so even if i say what i mean, the person i am talking still needs an explanation. For example "sevgilimle ayı izledik." means we watched the moon with my girlfriend but it also means we watched the bear with my girlfriend. weird. I feel like Turkish is still incomplete. Sometimes i imagine being a foreigner and trying to learn Turkish. It would be a nightmare. There are so many things that would make no sense for non Turkish people.

Çok güzel.. I want to learn more Turkish çünkü ben Türkiye seviyorum

[@erensametkaratas6593]

Good for you to learn Turkish! One small correction to make your Turkish better though. You wouldn't say "Ben Türkiye seviyorum", instead, you would say "ben Türkiye'yi seviyorum". I know you want to say "I love Turkey", so you say "Ben Türkiye seviyorum.". But in Turkish, when we use the word sevmek, we add the suffix -i, -ı, -u, -ü(only one of them, depending on the word) to the end of the thing we love. For example: I love apples Ben elmalar severim ❌ Ben elmaları severim ✔️ She loves Germany O Almanya sever ❌ O Almanya'yı sever✔️ One last note regarding the "y" that comes before the suffixes -i in Türkiye'Yi(the upper case one) and -ı in Almanya'Yı(the upper case one), the "y" is just a buffer. It doesn't have a meaning, it's only there to separate to vowels since in Turkish we usually don't like two vowels together.

When I first heard "Kolay gelsin" in a Turkish drama, I was so excited because we have a similar phrase in Korean (pronounced like "soogo hasaeyo"). This phrase literally means something like, "(You) Do hard work", and is used in similiar situations as "kolay gelsin". It also doesn't have a good direct translation into English, but I love this phrase, also kolay gelsin, because I think it's a good way to acknowledge the work people are doing :)

We also have different words for the same type of family members but on your mom's side and your dad's side in Korean. For example, your mom's sister (your aunt) is "eemo" but your dad's sister (also your aunt) is "gomo". I always find it confusing to explain family members in English :'D

I moved to Poland, and- like in English- they don't say anything to people who are working, sadly. As for "uncle" and "aunt", we generally don't feel the need to know which side of the family that he or she comes from. If we want to give that information, we include it in our description. For example, "My uncle on my father's side." I do miss being called "hocam"- here, I'm back to being just plain Brooks again.

[@amabarbigrl]

Omg I'm shocked. I didn't know that "veresija" is Turkish word, I always thought it was Serbian word. We use it in same situations. I thought that word came from the word "vera" (belief) so I thought it was our word. _Uzeti nešto na veru_ (take something "on belief") = _uzeti nešto na veresiju_ (take something on veresija) Also, there are words in Serbian that are translated the same as some of these words in Turkish but doesn't exist in English. "Mrzeti" means "to hate", but when you say "mrzi me" it can mean "he/she hates me", "hate me" or "I'm too lazy to do it". Serbian word "domazet" would be directly translated as "iç güveyisi". "Sağ ol" also exist in Serbian as "živ bio/živa bila/živi bili" ("be alive" or "I wish you to be alive") and it's also used as "thank you". Usually old people say it to young people and children. You can also say "hvala, zdravo bio" which means "thank you, be healthy" (It's usually used when someone say you something while "živ bio" is used when someone do something). "Dertleşmek" can be translated as "izjadati se". "Eline sağlik" can be translated as "ruke ti se pozlatile" wich means "let your hands be gilted" or "I wish your hands to became gilted" (I know it sounds weird, but it's hard to translate litteraly in English). Serbian is also rich with words for family members, I think even more than Turkish.

[@adinsaniam6781]

The word "veresiye" is derived from the root verb of "ver-" which means "give". The rest of the word is suffix. For example "gel-" -> "gelesiye". Actually, "veresiye kadar" (verene kadar) which means "until he/she gives/pays" at the root of the word. This word was later shortened and became this. The word "sağ ol" is its modern Turkish version. In Medieval Turkish, it is "sag bol" or "sav bol". Probably root of the words "živa bila/živi bili" is the "sav bol" or "sağ bol". Serbian version.

Gönül = del and we also use it metaphorically and we use ghalb the way Turkish uses kalp Sağ ol = zende bashi which means may you be alive Eline sağlık = dastet dard nakone which means may your hands not hurt, so we also use it to say thanks when someone does something using their hands Can = Jan which means dear, so you can call someone your jan but that’s the only way it’s used in Persian Kolay gelsin = khaste nabashi which means may you not be tired so we also say it when someone is working Ğözün aydın = cheshmet roshan which also means may your eyes be bright and also used to congratulate

[@unaizaabbas7838]

The other Turkish words which don't have exact translation are Abla Ağabey Siz Hala Teyze But all these have exact word/translation in Hindi and Urdu

Babaanne, anaanne, enişte, yenge, elti, görümce, kayınço, bacanak these are Turkish words don't exist in English and all is realitive names. Why would a man need a name to tell his wife's sister's husband? (Bu cümleye ingilizcem yetmedi)

American here. "Uncle" or "Aunt" are used exclusively but we usually expound on which one depending on the circumstance. Sometimes it doesn't matter if it's my mother's brother or my father's brother. If that is relevant then we would give more details. Honestly most of the time nobody cares which one it is so we don't need separate words for each one.

The family members thing also exists in urdu. We even have different names for our dad's elder brother and his younger brother. His elder brother is called taya or taya abu and his younger brother is called chacha.

[@MrBsehratmaannking]

the one im constantly missing in english is "gule gule kullan/giy" (wear/use it happily, hope it brings you a smile/happiness)... every time a friend buys/gets something new I wanna say it, cause in english you can only say like "nice" or something, there's no way to congratulate them on their purchase and wish them happiness with it.. at least not as a common phrase

[@atiquemirza1710]

In English we use the phrase "take it easy" which presents the same sentiment as "kolay gelsin".

[@jehan_navard]

So we also have 'جان' in Urdu. Can. And used in the same way so passionately. Each language has words which cannot suitably be translated in any other language. They have deeper meanings. For example, Mohabbat in Urdu is Love in English but 'Ishq' ( a higher form of love) has no suitable equivalence which can match the depth of its meaning. There are so many more such words. Lovely video by the way 👍

[@sinead9867]

In Irish we have some words that aren't in English. "Seoinín" is for someone who imitates a British person. "Aduantas" is a feeling of anxiety at being somewhere new. "Aiteall" is nice weather between two showers of rain. "Plobaireacht" is when you're crying but trying to speak at the same time. "Ragaireacht" is late night wandering or getting up to talk late into the night. "Bogán" is an egg without a shell and also a weak spineless person and weirdly enough "Storc" is a corpse of someone who dies in an upright position. Pretty specific! I wonder if Turkish also has words for some of these.

[@Sulik94]

You have made some great videos, good job! I am an Uyghur Turk trying to learn Anatolian Turkish. Basic vocabulary and sentence structures are very similar. I found there are only about 70-100 key vocabularies part of the daily life are different. So, if he knows what they are, an Uyghur can improve his Anatolian Turkish in no time, as little as just in a few hours on the plane from Urumqi to Istanbul and can speak Turkish when he gets out of the Istanbul airport and vice versa for an Istabulite. Here are some cool words exist in Uyghur Turkish but don’t seem to exist in Anatolian Turkish: ülüşgün (day before yesterday), düngün (yesterday), bügün (today), ete (tomorrow), ögün (the day after tomorrow), undun (the day after the day after tomorrow 😂😂). See how clumsy it is in English. Essentially, we have a short word for every day in a week. It is weird that there are no words to express days like this except yesterday and tomorrow. I don’t know Anatolian Turkish enough to know if there are words like this.

[@birdost5781]

Selam! We Turkic language speakers can easily learn each other's languages in a very short time. Although Uyghur and Turkish are not very close to each other because they're from diffrent branches of Turkic language family, i think we can understand each other easily in basic conversations. And in our Turkish those words are: evvelsi gün(day before yesterday), dün(yesterday), bugün(today), yarın(tomorrow), ertesi gün(day after tomorrow), öbürsü gün(day after the day after tomorrow). But we also have a distinction between Istanbul and Anatolian(local) Turkish. Istanbul Turkish is more europeanized and official Turkish, while Anatolian Turkish is more natural and closer to other Turkic languages. For this reason, perhaps other terms similar to yours may be used for day names in Anatolian Turkish.

I liked learning what your name means Can! It is most akin to soul in English, which is the mind, will, and emotions. Lately I have been renewing my soul (my thinking) to align more with the truth. Such a great word. Another Turkish speaker's channel taught me the word 'Vuslat', which doesn't exist in English (but it comes from Arabic). He explained it as the event of reuniting with a loved one after a long period of separation. The best example from Western culture is the story of the Prodigal Son in the book of Luke. Vuslat is now my favourite Turkish word ❤

Thank you so much. In my country, Argentina, as in English we have onli one word to define the brother of dad or mom: Uncle ( Tío in Spanish)

Tövbe tövbe or tövbe estağfurullah, it means harshly 'avoiding sin' (depends on situation). When someone or any situation make you mad, bad things (acts or words) come to your mind, but you listen your righteous side of your mind, dont do bad behavior and just say tövbe tövbeee why this happen like that?!! :) It can be reaction word of really funny or naughy joke too. Estağfurullah word is mean like ''I appreciate it but no need, thank you'' basically, when single use. When somone help you while u realy need it, you decide to give him/her some money or gift for big help, then he/she say Estağfurullah... These are main things, can be change in different situations. I hope this help to you and random comment readers :) Have a nice day.
