Learning Turkish and its grammar
Hi everybody!
Today I will try to teach you learning Turkish! Here, I left some examples about Turkish language and its grammar, enjoy it!
Word list – Let’s learn some words first!! 🙂
Merhaba = hello
Selam = hi
Ben = me
Sen = you
Biz = we
Siz = you (for more than one person and also used for more polite way to say “you” for one person)
Kendi = own (Kendim = my own self, kendin = your own self)
Benim = my
Git = go
Gel = come
Nasıl = how
İyi = good, fine
Kötü = bad
Bil = know
Ye = eat
İç = drink
Ev = home
Uç = fly
Yap = make,do
Ver = give
Al = get,take
Yürü = walk
Koş = run
Konuş = speak
To (do) examples
To do,to go,to walk,to get etc.. words in Turkish is like git-mek gel-mek, yürü-mek (includes -mek, mak etc at the end of the word. Mak and mek which included contributed to say like “to do,to go,to get,to etc. etc..” depends on the word’s pronounciation, gitmek = to go and olmak = to be it changes to mak or mek because the word before it has pronounciation difference “)
For example: I want to make pasta = Makarna yapmak(to make) istiyorum.
Gitmek = to go
Gelmek = to come
Uçmak = to fly
İstemek = to want
Sana = to you
Bana = to me
Bize = to us
Bilmek = to know
“t o where” examples
This is like “I’m going home” eve gidiyorum
Ev = home | eve = to (home)
İş = office | işe = to office
Okul = school | okula = to school
In Turkish, when you need to use “to (anywhere)” then you have to put e,a,ye,ya at the end of the word. It must not be seperated after the word. a,e,ye,ya are used to determine the target for like where you’re going to or what address you’re sending to and they (a,e,ya,ye) are not stable and can change with other words, it depends on the pronounciation of the word. If the word is “iş” you have to put “e” at the end to determine “to office”. The word Okul doesn’t require “e” at the end because it’s pronounciation is a bit different. You can understand this logic later, you have to practice it.. It’s like countable and uncountable things in English , you have to guess e or a or ye or ya for it depends on it’s pronounciation 🙂
-ing.. examples
This is like go-ing,fly-ing,com-ing etc..”
Gidiyor = going
Geliyor = coming
Uçuyor = flying
Alıyor = getting, taking
I’m/we’re/they’re …-ing
To determine for I’m “…ing”
I’m ..ing – The word “um” at the end of -ing (yor) determines for I’m …ing (going,walking,coming etc..)
Geliyorum = i’m coming
Gidiyorum = i’m going
Yürüyorum = i’m walking
Without the “um” word, it will sound like just “coming” (doesn’t specify about what’s coming); geliyor = coming, gidiyor = going , yürüyor = walking” but when you add the “um” word at the end then it specifies that “you are” coming,going,walking etc..
You’re ..ing – The word “sun” at the end of -ing (yor) determines for you are …ing (go-ing,walk-ing,com-ing etc..)
Geliyorsun = you’re coming
Gidiyorsun = you’re going
Yürüyorsun = you’re walking
We’re ..ing – The word “uz” at the end of -ing (yor) determines for we’re …ing (going,walking,coming etc..)
Geliyoruz = we’re coming
Gidiyoruz = we’re going
Yürüyoruz = we’re walking
They’re ..ing – Those words “lar or ler (depends on the pronounciation)” at the end of -ing (yor) determines for they’re …ing (going,walking,coming etc..)
Geliyorlar = they’re coming
Gidiyorlar = they’re going
Yürüyorlar = they’re walking
It’s ..ing – As you know that in English, they call each as she or he.. But this doesn’t apply in Turkish. In Turkish, there is only one word to call for (she/he/it) they only say “o” for she/he/it.
O geliyor = It’s coming
O gidiyor = It’s going
O yürüyor = It’s walking
Turkish Grammar – For example
Turkish grammar may look so different and very difficult but don’t forget that,every language in this life has its own difficulty.. You can learn this language in a short time if you study it well of course..
