  • In this video you will get the most valuable Turkish Lesson you will ever find. And I'm not exaggerating. It is so because to understand the logic of Turkish you have to understand how the suffixes in Turkish work. That's the main difference to most languages out there. That's why I'm calling it the most important Turkish lesson because by the end of this video you will understand the Turkish suffixes and thus the mentality and logic of the Turkish language.
    My name is Reşat Ören and on my channel I post videos about various languages, mainly English, German, Spanish and Turkish.
    If you're a polyglot or are just interested in one of those languages and want to learn and acquire them, make sure to stay here and subscribe!
    I also post videos about myself and my life. It actually depends on my mood.
    No matter what I post though, there's definitely something for everybody out there.
    I hope you guys enjoy!

    When we were learning this stuff at Turkish language class in elementary school, our teacher made us learn "P Ç T K" thing with a word which is "Ketçap". It means ketchup in English and if you take the vowels inside of the word ketçap, you will realize that the consonants that this word have is all "P Ç T K" words.

    I found it very interesting when I learned that Turkish, like Zulu, says 'baba' for 'father' and even 'babam' for 'my father' (baba'm, in Zulu) and that it is also an agglutinating language. This aspect of being an agglutinating language made a whole lot of a difference for me as it became easy to understand this critical part of the Turkish language. We do the exact same thing in Zulu. We attach suffixes and prefixes to verbs and nouns to express meaning. I also like that you too have different terms for familial relations, eg., maternal and paternal uncles and aunts etc. We do the same in Zulu. Video için teşekkür ederim.

    Phonetically, AIOU are back vowels and EİÖÜ are front vowels.
    Again, the hard consonants in Turkish are called voiceless consonants in phonetics, while the soft ones are called voiced consonants.

    • @berkeleyrc
      @berkeleyrc ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think this is really helpful to think about! It's not so much that we need to memorize which kind of consonant the word ends with, more just that if it ends with an unvoiced consonant then the suffix should be unvoiced, and if it ends with a voiced consonant then the suffix should be voiced.

    • @alianna8806
      @alianna8806 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I noticed that with the consonants as well! It just makes sense and sounds better to change, it rolls off the tongue naturally. I think we do this a bit in English with the -ed suffix. It would depend on dialect but it can sound like both a T or a D and I would have to think about if it is harmonizing with the ending of the word. We just don't write it out phonetically.

    Very similar to how Uralic languages work eg Hungarian and Finnish; suffixes are attached behind a word to modify the meaning. Vowel harmony (soft & hard vowels) are also a common feature in Uralic languages

    • @GladysMokgatle

      Yes, I am Hungarian and we have similar rules. I just go by how they sound, and the only way they sound right if the rules are followed. In Hungarian these rules are called "mássalhangzók hasonulása" ) my fellow Hungarians will understand this.

      Vowel harmony is here to speak faster and so tongue do not gets tired because keeps its place.
      2 WAY VOWEL HARMONY (A,E) (keeping toung back or front)
      when you add suffix with open vowel (a , e ) , (such as plural suffix= -lar,-ler)
      if last letter of word is back vowel (a ı o u) then suffix with open vowel will have " a "
      if last letter of word is front vowel (e i ö ü ) then suffix with open vowel will have " e "
      example: ler / lar = plural suffix
      Türkler= Turks
      Doktorlar =Doctors
      *********************************
      4 WAY VOWEL HARMONY (I, İ, U, Ü) (pronouncing closed version of last vowel)
      when you add suffix with closed vowel (ı i u ü) (such as subject suffixes) then, suffix will be closed version of last vowel, you do not have to think about which vowel to add because without changing your mouth shape (back-front and rounded-unrounded shapes) just closing your mouth a little will make sound of last vowel's closed version. for example if you close your mouth a little as you are pronouncing
      "a" it will sound " ı ",
      " o " will be " u "
      " ö " will be " ü "
      " e " will be " i "
      so if last vowel of the word is
      " a " or " ı " then suffix with closed vowel will have " ı "
      " e " or " i " then suffix with closed vowel will have " i "
      " o " or " u " then suffix with closed vowel will have " u "
      " ö " or " ü " then suffix with closed vowel will have " ü "
      example: sen=you, suffix form of sen is with closed vowels “ sın, sin, sun, sün
      Nasıl = how
      Nasılsın? = how are you?
      Türksün= You are Turk
      Doktorsun= You are doctor
      İyi=good
      İyisin= You are good
      ********************************
      VOWELS
      A=toung is at back, chin is wide open, lips shape straight.
      I =(close chin as you are pronouncing A) tongue is at back, lips shape is straight, chin is nearly closed,
      O=tongue is at back, chin is open, lips are rounded (round lips as you are pronouncing a)
      U=(close your chin as you are pronouncing o), tongue is at back, chin is nearly closed, lips are rounded.

      @@PimsleurTurkishLessons I have to disagree with your view that vowel harmony lets one speak faster. It doesn't. It's just that you Turkish people are not used to other ways. For instance, in Spanish, diphthongs and triphthongs are usual and so fast that they last the same as just one vowel even though they combine two or three, respectively. Both require that a weak vowel (i or u) accompanies a hard one (a, e or o) if present, otherwise each vowel will have the usual duration and there will be no diphthong or triphthong; for instance, real (re-al), but diana (dia-na), ciudad (ciu-dad). Just a question of what you are used to.
      There are people that always speak very fast, others, very slow, others in between. I fall on the slow side.

      @@wafikiri_ yes possible because,
      in some local speech of Turkish in some cities, they do not obey vowel harmony but they use different same speech style. they can speak fast too.when, i mimic them, my mouth gets tired.
      But Also;
      spanish is not agglutinative so it does not get too much suffixes. So it is not hard to speak without vowel harmony. i can speak English without vowel harmony.
      for example;
      gözlerimizle göremediklerimizi yüreklerimizle bilebiliriz= we can know with our hearts about those that we can not see with our eyes.
      podemos saber con nuestro corazón acerca de aquellos que no podemos ver con nuestros ojos

      @@PimsleurTurkishLessons @Turkish Lessons Your example sentence was not too difficult for me even before I read those translations, in spite that my knowledge of Turkish only dates one month. I could take apart göz, görmek, -ler, bilmek, -ebilir, -le (ile), -i, yürek (I knew yüreğim), negative -me, -iz but was a bit confused seeing -im-iz, is it -(i)miz? And -dik, I don't know, it could be past tense -di and 2nd. person plural -k (biz). Surely I'm wrong on something else too.
      Agglutinative only means words united together, surely they were independent in some antecessor language of Turkish. But isolated words sound agglutinated when spoken normally. No problem there.
      Google translation to Spanish was perfect.
      Edit: I see TH-cam has underlined something, omitted something, perhaps by my using hyphens (-). I did not intentionally underline anything. I think I've restored it.

      In Turkish , suffixes are only functional such as A verb, can take suffixes to show, "tense, negativity, pronoun, passive voice,ability, must, command, if, wish ( i mean "let me, lets"",). A noun can take suffixes to show "plural, genetive/possesive, dative, locative, accusative (the) , ablative,"

      adjective, adverb, verb and object are different words of a Turkish sentence.
      syntax can change, (only adjective must be before noun, and indefinite object must be before verb ) , if syntax changes it changes emphasised word of the sentence.
      but suffix order can not change, if it changes then meaning changes
      example; çiçekleri sulamasaydın, çiçekler çürürdü. =If you didn't water the flowers, the flowers would rot.
      çiçekleri sulamadıysan, sula.= If you have not watered the flowers, water them

    If you know anything about linguistics then this isn't hard or confusing at all, it's actually super easy and logical! It's just voicing/voiceless assimilation and vowel harmony. I think saying "soft/hard" is actually more confusing because some people might think that voiced consonants sound "harder" than voiceless consonants. As a linguist who loves to learn languages, it makes my life (and will make yours) SO MUCH EASIER! Seriously, get a textbook on Intro to Linguistics or take a class, or at least learn IPA. You will understand the logic and see the patterns in language so much more clearly. Each language is its own song, and you can sit there with a new song and try to painfully memorize each note and how they go together, or you can just learn how to read music and play any new song easily. That's what learning about linguistics will do for you.
    But yeah, this is why I love Turkish (and Turkic languages) because the agglutination and balanced phonology is so satisfying. It's actually a super logical and straightforward language (at least from what I can see as a beginner).

    It's so interesting. In English, i is a tense vowel, arguably tense and hard are closely related, while ı is a lax vowel, lax suggesting softness. It's really up to personal perception which vowels are strong/hard/sharp and which ones are weak/soft/dull. Ijust learned that in Finnish, i is neutral

    Turkish language is fully phonetic language. You can not see or hear hard and soft wovels together. If you see, you can understand this word is come from foreign language. We use too much foreign words so last wovel is important.

  • @vanessas2454

    I don´t find the consonants difficult as they merely follow the principle of assimilation. It is hard to pronounce a soft, voiced consontant after a hard, voiceless one, and vice versa, so the assimilation comes naturally. The vowel harmony is a bit harder, and the hardest thing is not necessarily forming these suffixes according to the pattern but to identify suffixes in reading as they can take so many different shapes. Many times already, I have wondered about a new word I came across, only to discover it was a word I already new, only with a new ending this time, or with a chain of endings, in which I couldn´t tell what was part of the word and what was part of which ending.

    In English the same phenomenon happens with the past suffix -ed after some unvoiced consonants that you call hard consonants in Turkish. The -ed is still written but the pronunciation changes to T. eg. watched, washed, passed, capped, laughed ( f sound).
    (Only coronal T has a different pattern along with D eg. admitted and blended as they change to -id pronunciation instead.)
    . It’s very logical for English speakers ( and very easy) but Turkish vowel harmony is more unique!

    This is an amazing video! One thing I would suggest in the future, however, is to change the font in the example words to a font that can be differentiated between capital and lowercase letters. I am a native English speaker who speaks German, now learning Turkish. In German, capital letters are present in nouns in nearly all cases (excluding pronouns). I know this is not the case in turkish, but it did give me some pause because of the font.

    Vowel harmony is here to speak faster and so tongue do not gets tired because keeps its place.
    2 WAY VOWEL HARMONY (A,E) (keeping toung back or front)
    when you add suffix with open vowel (a , e ) , (such as plural suffix= -lar,-ler)
    if last letter of word is back vowel (a ı o u) then suffix with open vowel will have " a "
    if last letter of word is front vowel (e i ö ü ) then suffix with open vowel will have " e "
    example: ler / lar = plural suffix
    Türkler= Turks
    Doktorlar =Doctors
    *********************************
    4 WAY VOWEL HARMONY (I, İ, U, Ü) (pronouncing closed version of last vowel)
    when you add suffix with closed vowel (ı i u ü) (such as subject suffixes) then, suffix will be closed version of last vowel, you do not have to think about which vowel to add because without changing your mouth shape (back-front and rounded-unrounded shapes) just closing your mouth a little will make sound of last vowel's closed version. for example if you close your mouth a little as you are pronouncing
    "a" it will sound " ı ",
    " o " will be " u "
    " ö " will be " ü "
    " e " will be " i "
    so if last vowel of the word is
    " a " or " ı " then suffix with closed vowel will have " ı "
    " e " or " i " then suffix with closed vowel will have " i "
    " o " or " u " then suffix with closed vowel will have " u "
    " ö " or " ü " then suffix with closed vowel will have " ü "
    example: sen=you, suffix form of sen is with closed vowels “ sın, sin, sun, sün
    Nasıl = how
    Nasılsın? = how are you?
    Türksün= You are Turk
    Doktorsun= You are doctor
    İyi=good
    İyisin= You are good
    ********************************
    VOWELS
    A=toung is at back, chin is wide open, lips shape straight.
    I =(close chin as you are pronouncing A) tongue is at back, lips shape is straight, chin is nearly closed,
    O=tongue is at back, chin is open, lips are rounded (round lips as you are pronouncing a)
    U=(close your chin as you are pronouncing o), tongue is at back, chin is nearly closed, lips are rounded.
    E=tongue is at front. Chin is open, lips are straight.
    İ=(close your lips as you are pronouncing e) tongue is at front, lips are straight, chin is nearly closed.
    Ö=tongue is at front, chin is open, lips are rounded (round lips as you are pronouncing e)
    Ü=(close chin as you are pronouncing Ö) tongue is at front , lips are rounded, chin is nearly close

    Very nice, teşekkuler! In Flemish we also do the same about the consonants, the last one influences the t or d we add at the end of the past participles. In Polish too, by the way, two following consonants influence each other, sometimes backwards (the last one changing the first one) or forwards (the opposite). Same for vowels. Too long story for an answer here, it deserves also a video. :D Thanks for yours again!

  • @makbasyoutube
    @makbasyoutube 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In Turkish, the subjects remain implicited at the end of the drawn verbs. For example, for the 2nd person singular, to say "sen geleceksin(you will come) instead of "geleceksin (you will come) ", which is the future tense of "to come"; It does not produce a meaning other than "subject emphasis". Saying "geleceksin" is sufficient for the 2nd person singular future tense. Because the suffix "sin" at the end of "gelecek-sin" is the subject of "sen(you)" that is implicited.
    Revealing Implicited Subjects in Turkish:
    Geleceğim (Gelecek-ben) (I will come)
    Geleceksin (Gelecek-sen) (you will come)
    Gelecek (it is 3rd singular and also root at future tense)
    Geleceğiz (Gelecek-biz) (we will come)
    Geleceksiniz (gelecek-siz) (you will come)
    Gelecekler (gelecek-onlar) (they will come)
    If we use the implicited subjects at the end of Turkish verbs in front, we can do Turkish as in English verb conjugation (I go, you go, we go, they go). And there is no distortion of meaning. This can be a "convenience" for speakers of Western languages.
    Ben gelecek (I will come)
    Sen gelecek (you will come)
    O gelecek (He/she/it will come)
    Biz gelecek (we will come)
    Siz gelecek (you will come)
    Onlar gelecek (they will come)

    Interesting way of describing vowel harmony.
    I've heard of a, ı, o and u referred to as back vowels and e, i, ö and ü as front vowels rather than hard and soft vowels. I find front and back more intuitive because they are vocalised in the front/back of the mouth.
