    💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 22 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), Portuguese (B2), French (B1/B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A1). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

    It's always so interesting to see Americans experience Turkey, hear them speak Turkish, find some differences in the culture, etc. Especially, since I, and to different extents pretty much everybody around the world, are the ones that do the same for American culture and English. Hope you had fun while you were here!
    Btw, you can definitely get a lot better in your pronunciation, but your overall speaking ability is super impressive, really good job!

    you’re so smart, and doing awesome! bc you figured out that turkish is an agglutinative language; which means we have word stems and we add suffixes to them to make new words 🧚🏻‍♀️🪄
    e.g. like you said:
    büyü- (grow)
    büyü+k (big)
    büyü+k+len+mek (swaggering, boasting, acting arrogantly)
    büyü+t (raise, bring up, magnify, exaggerate)
    büyü+t+eç (magnifying glass) 🔎
    and so on..

    I just have discovered your channel and it's great. I'm also into languages so it easily had my interest. The way how you react to Turkish stuff is too funny, cause they're accurate. I lol'd at "It's always etmek". You can consider that similar to Italian in some sense. I live in İzmir too, so if you wanna be friends I can gladly show you around and introduce you people around our age.

    hey elysse! welcome to turkey and great progress!
    that "saf" on the beauty product you saw is, like you said, more like untouched, pure. ama "saf" kelimesi aynı zamanda salak, kolay kandırılabilen, pek zeki olmayan anlamında da kullanılıyor. prolly why they used it as whimpy.
    and humble can be translated directly as "alçak gönüllü" or "mütevazı". but be careful NOT "mütevazi", that means "parallel", even turks get confused by the word :)

  • @tunauslu2426
    @tunauslu2426 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    your pronounciation is almost perfect, like “you dont even need to practice anymore” good. your grammatical use is pretty great too, turkish grammar is really unusual and we turks even learn some aspects of it throughout the high school :) so you are doing an amazing job here congrats! i am not that of a polyglot, just trying to improve my german at the moment but even with that i sometimes struggle, even though you can call it a germanic language like english. so really great job with this weird language which is definitely not similar to any european language. emeğine sağlık! istediğin zaman yardım istemekten sakın çekinme 👏

  • @kanatsizkanatli
    @kanatsizkanatli ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's always impressive to hear an indo European mother tongue speaker learn Turkish because it is difficult, particularly the accent. You are doing great! Your accent has the potential to be native sounding in a relatively short period. I left Turkey at the age of 5 and even I have a bit of an 'accent' which is more related to my word selection and lack of experience of the most culturally appropriate sentences and responses. Like what do i say when my Turkish Barber says sihhatler olsun... For years I assumed it was saatler olsun which means?? Doesn't mean anything but I never questioned it! Sihhat apparently means strength or wellness or something like that but there are still many times I have no idea what these terms mean after all these years! Good luck mastering Turkish. Yolun açik olsun

    Damn you can navigate your way around Turkey in a such short amount of time 🤯. If I had to give feedback, I'd advise you to focus on your vowels. English and Turkish don't share a single vowel, so your vowels can be sometimes off. But it's never off enough to ruin the understandability. I didn't know about boyoz before 😅. I should give it a try if I ever go back to İzmir. Fun video 👍👍

    Fun and funny is often mistaken by non-native speakers. There's one time when Jacksepticeye corrects Pewdiepie saying "the most fun.." instead of "the most funny.." in a video. I remembered it well because it's the first time I realised that I had been using it correctly without knowing, I learned English mostly through content immersion.
