Hi everyone, I cannot find an English version of this book and I also cannot really find a good description of it in English anywhere. I'd love to buy this for my Turkish girlfriend, since I heard it's a really good bundle of poetry and she wants to read more in Turkish. Can someone give me a brief description? Still figuring out if this is the right buy. Thanks in advance :D

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to watch the classic Turkish series "Aşk-ı Memnu" in high quality. Unfortunately, all the good quality links I’ve found so far are for the Russian-dubbed version.

Does anyone have a link or know where I can watch the series ? I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you in advance 😊

Hi,

I have been studiying Turkish for some month and, after having tried some methods and resources (Assimil, Colloquial turkish, classroom lessons) I realized that the old method of translation of phrases works well for me. Unfortunaly I see that the lessons of Assimil and Colloquial are too much concentrated to the content and memorizing the words and less to the grammar's rules.

Can you suggest some books to study the grammar with no a lot academic explanations and the most part of exercices in the translation of phrases (less texts as possible)?

Thank you

Hello, everyone! This coming Saturday, we will have an online card game session for Turkish practice! We're eager to make new friends and have fun together. Also, we welcome all levels! The game will be led by a native Turkish speaker/teacher, so it's a fantastic opportunity!

If you're interested to join us, just leave me a comment here and I'll DM you to exchange details.

TIME: Saturday, November 30th @ 9am New York City time
DURATION: 1 hour

(We also welcome native speakers of Turkish to play with us because we think English-Turkish exchange is very entertaining and effective.)

I enjoy writing short passages in English and then translating them into Turkish. I need someone to correct my translations. Would anyone be willing to liaise with me?

In context, saying "It doesn't help my sinus that I'm living in a humid city" would means that "living in a humid city makes my sinus worse". How do you express this "It doesn't help" part?
When I used "yardım etmiyor" I got a puzzled response: "Ne için?"

I am looking for a casual and fast way to say alright, as in “alright I get it” or “alright, I'm on it” when asked to do something like a task.

Selamlar, kitap okurken Eski Fransızca bir sözcük olan "Barrir" kelimesine denk geldim. Fillerin bağırması gibi çevrilmiş ama aklıma tam bir karşılık gelmedi. Kükreme desem değil, kişneme desem değil. Tarif etmeye kalksam "bvvvvrrr" diye yüksek bir şekilde burnu tıkalı bir insanın esnemesini andıran bir ses çıkarmak derim. Sizin bildiğiniz bir karşılığı var mı?

Hey guys, we're polyglots who also happen to be software engineers.

We always get annoyed when we speak a language and keep mispronouncing the same words or confusing them for another word. Even though learning a language is being able to speak it, pronunciation is often neglected. Because of that, we decided to create an app whose goal is to improve users' pronunciation - YourBestAccent. Let us tell you about it:

First, it clones your own voice so that you can hear yourself speaking your target language with a native-like accent!

Then, you can practice pronunciation by letting our app give you a text to say out loud OR use a text of your wish - the app provides a real-time feedback so that you know which words you've mispronounced, what is your overall score and what you need to improve.

It's not just for studying though - you can have fun by challenging your friends to pronounce everything you wish and seeing who performs better!

We believe YourBestAccent is a great tool to improve your language skills. By using it, you're sure you're actually making progress instead of making the same mistakes over and over again.

Go to yourbestaccent.com and take your language skills to a completely new level!

Can anyone recommend an effective application to teach me to understand and speak everyday Turkish? I've used Duolingo for more than a year and it's now repeating the same lessons. Thanks.

If someone creates something great, I’d like to use “ustad” or “ustam” to refer to them.

Is it ok to use this for women too, or is it only used to call men? Would it be rude?

Teşekkür ederim!

Hey, does anyone have any Spotify or Youtube-links to Elvis songs coveret to Turkish?

Here i an example that a user currently posted:

him: Hangi spor yani
her: Abi bilmiyom işte. Sopur salonuna gidiyor yani. Sizin gibi birsey. İşte

Google Translate translates this as:

him: Which sport?

Her: Dude, I don't know. So he goes to the Sopur salon. Someone like you.
At work

This is complete nonsense of course. If you need a tool that has no difficulty with Turkish slang use Wakaritai. Here you can see how Wakaritai translates the sentences correctly:

him: Which sport, you know?
her: Bro, I don't know, you know. He is going to the gym, you know. Something like you. You know.

Wakaritai also creates a word by word explanation and grammar explanation that you can find here.

him: Hangi spor yani

her: Abi bilmiyom işte. Sopur salonuna gidiyor yani. Sizin gibi birsey. İşte

Can you recommend me some Turkish rock music?

İyi günler, ben Abdullah. Faslıyım. Türkçe öğrenmek istiyorum çünkü önümüzdeki yıl Nisan ayında İstanbul'a seyahat edeceğim. Hepinizi tanımayı dört gözle bekliyorum

I called someone to tell him about a photo I saw in my gallery and gave me some emotional memories.

I want to say "It's not relevant or anything, just thought I'd mention it to you"

How do I get this across? I tried "Alakası falan yok, öylesine söylüyorum"

selamün aleyküm canım türklerim ya da yabancılar, bu gece garip olabildiği bir sorum var. ama öncelikle olayı açıklamalıyım birazcık. Ben birçok yıldır türkçeyi öğrenen amerikalıyım ve aşırı türkle konuştum. bayağı hoşuma giden bir şey ve bugünlerde şey yapasım geliyor.

instagramda, twitterde, vs. neyse ne türkçe konuşan yabancılar görüyorum ve ben de şöyle bir şekilde canlı yayında türk halkıyla sohbet etmek istiyorum çünkü sanki türkler türkçe konuşan yabancıları merak ediyor.

bugün bir tane türk arkadaşımla yayın yaptık; moduyla eski yüzük diye bir oyun oynuyorduk (elden ring) ve baya eğlenceliydi. çok biri gelmedi ama bir tane kullanıcı geldi, çok hoşuma gitti çünkü çok merak ediyordu ve çok soru sordu bize yayını sevdim söyledi. onun kullanıcı ismi çok komikti aq dlkcclcşcş.

neyse yeter saçmaladım ve sorum şu. bu başarılı bir şey olabilir mi sizce? ne yapmalıyım ya, sizlerle sohbet etmeyi istiyom la. okuduğunuz için çok teşekkür ederim

düzenleme: yayın kanalının ismi ne soranlar için profilime link koydum

When I was a kid we used to watch this TV show that was Turkish but it was dubbed in English. We were in the U.S. but we had the package (not sure which one) that let us have access to a lot of foreign shows and news programs. The premise of the show was to show a person getting judgement and this angel (depicted by an man) walks a person (a new character each episode) through their life. He shows this person choices and it kind of has a tricky narrative where it looks like they made good choices but then it shows they got led down a worse path where they made bad choices that are going to take them to hell. It always ends with them being led to it where it is the earned to go (most episodes showed people going to the flames). I know for sure in the English dub, the angels name was Sully but I can’t find it anywhere 😔 we most likely were watching mainly around 2005-2007 but give or take a few years since I was kid and don’t remember well. I remember one episode in particular (the entire plot) if that would also help anyone?

UPDATE: Found it yall thanks so much! It’s just for nostalgia purposes and I’ll try not to get too brainwashed when rewatching 🤪 but seriously thanks everyone I appreciate all of your input!
