Is there a difference between these two verbs?
Please explain.

İyi günler! I would like to practice with someone through texting and maybe voice recording. We can also share study resources and help each other clarify some things. I am still a begginner but I need to practice what I have learnt so far.
My native language is Arabic, and I am proficient in English, glad to help in either languages, while practicing Turkish.

What's the difference between these two suffixes?

We've got balıkçı, oyuncu, solcu, sağcı, etc. We've also got giden, arayan, bekleyen, etc.

And there appears to be some overlap? For example, I'm not sure what the difference is between yolcu and seyahat eden. What about oyuncu and ...oyunan?

Thanks in advance for any clarification you might be able to provide.

So I'm currently studying turkish on my own using a book (Elementary Turkish by Lewis V. Thomas), and I got to the part of negative verb conjugations, however I was wondering if anyone would advise skipping past this section and coming back once I learn how to properly conjugate different verbs that I already know. I've been practicing but I find it somewhat difficult to figure out when to use d/t and what vowel to use in the suffix of the verb. I am learning, but just wanted to see if anyone would advise against learning a new verb principle before I've completely mastered standard verb conjugations! Thanks for reading if you did

Hello I want a language exchange partner to improve my Turkish skills. My turkish is not bad, but I am out of practice (despite living in Turkey). I am native in Arabic and fluent in English (IELTS 8.5), so anyone who wants to learn either of those languages can send me a DM to set up a schedule.
P.S I live in Ankara if anyone wants to practice speaking face to face.

How common are different dialects in the Turkish language? My native language has so many dialects, and just curious what it’s like in Turkish.

Can somebody practice turkish with me. I know a lot of concepts but haven't gotten the time to practice speaking.

In Arabic when someone arrives at a destination we usually say to them الحمدلله عالسلامة (hamdullilah aal salami), as in thank God for the safety (of your arrival), is there a Turkish equivalent? Just curious!

Right now, I'm working hard to improve my Turkish from bare-bones beginner. I'm not having lessons right now (I have in the past), but I do have language partners, and good friends who I talk about grammar points with.

To my surprise, I'm finding that I am using ChatGPT for assistance in various specific ways. This includes:

• Asking for specific clarifications: e.g. what's the difference between "çalışmak" and "denemek", or between "tutmak" and "dokunmak"? It gives pretty good explanations which I can then confirm in speaking, writing, and through other sources.
• Re-formatting exam sylllabi so that I can easily import them to Anki. Specifically, I'm using a UK GCSE syllabus to target general non-specialised vocabulary. This sounds like a needless use-case - but re-formatting a PDF to a table manually could take hours - its instant with AI.
• Compiling specialised vocabulary lists in English, and asking for translations. (e.g. for word lists about trees, or cycling, or cooking). The English part is (for me) fine, because I can easily confirm if it's right or wrong - for the translations, I am going to Tureng and google images to see if we're on the right page.
• Generating simple sample sentences to go with my vocabulary lists. In reality, I am ending up not using these much - but they are very useful to reflect on and create my own, which I can then check and import to anki.

However! I am of course finding limitations.

• When I mis-spell a word in Turkish, I want to see if I am accidentally saying another word, just in case it is a serious error. (Anyone who's been innocently squeezing lemons in Turkish knows what I mean!). I asked it about "inzalamak" (my mis-spelling of "Imzalamak", to sign), and chatGPT gave me an elaborate explanation of its meaning. Unfortunately it was complete bullshit. Modern turkish doesn't use such a verb!
• Just now I was compiling a list of "etmek" verbs. It delivered nonsense, creating composites by adding "etmek" to a list of common regular verbs.

I am, of course, very alert to the limitations of AI. Has anyone here had specific successes or problems from working with ChatGPT? Specifically about working with it as a language support tool for Turkish.

Looking forward to your ideas :)

Hello! I’m a native English speaker from America, and wondering if any native Turkish speakers would be interested in a language exchange? I also need some help with translating conversations from Turkish to English, etc. thanks so much :)

"Afyet olsun" Is the phrase shortened in any shape or form when spoken? When I hear Turkish spoken, it sounds way shorter than the full phrase. Or, is the speed with which it's spoken confusing me? Thank you.
