    Hollanda'da doğmuş bir Türk olarak, bu video gerçekten çok öğretici olmuş. Sanki normalmiş gibi duyduğum bazı noktaları senin sayende fark ettim. Mesela '2 elma' ifadesinin neden garip geldiğini şimdi anlıyorum. Bu tür videolar bir Türk için bile faydalıysa, ana dili Türkçe olmayan biri için ne kadar yardımcı olurdu tahmin bile edemiyorum. Devamını merakla bekliyoruz, Resh! 🤞🏻

    As a Spaniard living in Turkey I struggle so much with the Turkish "how are you". Spaniards absolutely mean it when they say it, so when I hear it I find myself explaining my day, then I ask "how are you" and I get iyiyim ben de. Olmaz ama! Bir anlatsana! 😅

      🤣🤣 I'm a Turk who was born in Germany and raised with German culture, nowadays I'm living in Turkey... And if my friends asking me as "naber?", I'm replying as "don't ask me that question, cuz I know that there is no point behind that question, you don't really care if I'm doing good or bad".

      Perhaps that's in Spain. But I also speak spanish from south america and If somebody greets me with a " How are you?" I would never answer with a description of my situation, I would answer "Fine, thank you, and you?" And not expectig more answer that "Fine, thank you".
      - Cómo estas?
      - Bien, gracias, y tu?
      - Bien, gracias.
      And that's it. Then you can start a real conversation.

      Same as in Latin America, compared to Spain (specially Catalunia and Euskadi, where people are much more direct), and , much more, to Northern Europe. Turkey is similar to Latin America in many aspects (not just the Fiat/Tofas cars). The "Ahorita" in Mexican Spanish are also a confuse word. Some concepts such as high/low context culture, peach/coconut, colectivist/individualist explain a lot.

    Nasılsın sorusuna teşekkür etmemizin sebebi o kişinin bizi umursayıp değer verdiği için halimizi hatrımızı sorması. Yıllarca böyle düşündüm. Sadece benim fikrim mi bilmiyorum. Ayrıca o kişinin nasılsın diye sorması karşıdakiyle muhabbet açmaya çalışması da demek. Hatta bunu "nerelisin hemşerim" diyerek de yaparlar. Bizim iyiyim dememizin sebebi de pek çok şey olabilir. 1-dertlerimi açacak kadar samimi değiliz. 2-dertlerimi açarak zayıf yanımı gösteremem. 3-kendi dertlerimle karşıdakinin canını sıkamam. 4-özel hayatıma burnunu sokma. 5-halinden şikayet etmemek. 6-Anlatsam destan olur, nefesimi yoracak takatim yok 7-Hakkaten iyiyim yav :) Ayrıca benim mantığıma göre 2 elma zaten çoğul. O yüzden ayrıca çoğul yapmaya gerek kalmıyor. Yoksa elma-lar-lar gibi bişey oluyor.

    I am a young 60 and before the internet we read and understood that Turkish was not an Indo European language. I studied Turkish back in 2007, there were no online languages then. The first day I got to Istanbul I settled in and headed out to eat after taking a cannabis capsule. At a restaurant they had FOX TURK and as my cannabis gripped me in Turkish Delight , I just listened to that musical language, all I can say is "it sounded like Western Japanese". Thanks to you Res(h)at , even this late in life, I am going to resume my Turkish studies. *Oye hermanito !

    At the beginning I struggled a lot with the sentence structure until I just got used to say it exactly on the opposite way that I will say it in English or Spanish.
    I practiced last year when I went to Istanbul on vacation and turkish people liked a lot to see a tourist trying to comunicate in their language.
    I hope to go back soon.

    Hey Resat, amazing content! I taught Turkish in the US for a year and you have no idea how many of my students struggled with the plurals. It’s also insane to me how most of the Turkish coursebook materials out there just straight out forget to mention this rule. You pretty much covered all of the peculiarities of Turkish.
    As a sociolinguistics nerd, I’d like to add my own 2 cents regarding some of things that we say that are “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. I think it’s great that you’re playing along with all of the wrong usage :) Language is not a list of rules that we read off of a book, languages are what we speak. We make the rules, we change the rules, languages are alive and flexible. I’m all for having a descriptive approach and accepting the languages as they are, rather than having a prescriptive one. So what if we reply to “iyiyim” to the question “ne yapıyorsun”? Speakers of all languages say stuff that do not conform to grammatical rules or semantics, but this is how things start to become grammatical in time and rules change. None of the books teach you that instead of “should have known”, many Americans would say “should of known” in real life. Who knows, grammar books could start teaching the phrase “should of + past participle” in X years. That is why languages are fun! I actually respect linguistic purists, because I know they are all doing it with the best intentions of preserving the language. I’m just trying to offer a different perspective here :)
    Anyway, thanks for the video! i’m a Turkish native speaker, yet had so much fun watching the video! Also, great content for Turkish as a second language classes :) If I ever do go back to teaching Turkish, I will definitely make my students watch this video!

    As a Bulgarian who has been learning Turkish for years I can confirm Turkish is a crazy language! 😅😅 Its logic is so different and you basically must think backwards in order to understand the structure of the sentences. Also I remember how surprised I was years ago when I learnt that in Turkish you don't conjugate the verbs "var" and "yok" but instead say "there is my book" (kitabım var) or "there isn't my book" (kitabım yok). There are so many other more confusing examples but that's what came to my mind now... But also as a Bulgarian some things sound natural to me because for example we say "ts" and "of", too.

      i love Italian language and try to learn by solo at home. i found very similarities with Italians and the language usage.
      --Optional subject pronoun usage
      --Verb conjugations
      --accusative/dative cases
      --Sounds are very similar, almost phonetic like Turkish. We have modified latin alphabet 2.0
      Ce= Ç , Sc=Ş
      --Common words-pronounciations almost same: Banka, Bankomat, Palyaço, Makina, Lokanta, Çikolata, Çimento, Gazete, Fiyasko, Lira
      What is interesting ? Surprising moment when i study Italian.
      Turkish Pasta--Italian Torta
      Makarna--Pasta (Turkish Makarna also derived from italian, maccherone)
      Why we mess up italian origin words like that i dont know.
      Pizza = Pizza (But we dont pronounce 'pitsa', zz=ts sound, why italians pronounce this z, double z unique ? interesting. for our ears: pizza .)
      Italian don't sound 'h' sound like silent letter. Thracians dialect in Turkey has similar usages, ignoring ''h''. they don't sound hayvan, instead ayvan.
      Ala Turka, Ala franka -- Alla Turca . ( aaa this is Italian phrase it means Turkish style, we use it in our daily lives but never think its origin before)
      England- Anglese etc. Why we call 'ingiltere'' aa it is also italian
      Roma, İtalyan, Türkiye pronunciations almost same.

Elmaları ver dediğimizde de kaç tane olduğunu kast etmiyoruz. Kast ettiğimiz ve karşıdakinin de bildiği bir elma grubunu biz alıyoruz. Bunun haricinde "Kör olası çöpçüler, aşkımı süpürmüşler." örneğinde çöpçüler'deki -ler çoğul eki ama süpürmüşler'deki ler ise 3. çoğul şahıs eki. Burada bir ilginçlik yok aslında, hatta bana kalırsa diğer dillerden daha da mantıklı.

I mean we do have sounds like this in other languages too 'm-h' for 'yes' in German or 'm-m' (two glottal stops) for 'nein'.

      I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclosemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.

    İn Russian we also say: "U menia jestj avtomobil'", which literally means "At mine, [there] is [a] car". We also don't say something like "İch heisse İvan". İnstead, we say "Menia zovut İvan", which literally means "Me [they] call İvan". Another similar example for "İ need to go" will be "Mne nužno idti", literally "[To] me [it is] necessary [to] go".
    "Do you like it?" - "Tebe nravitsia?" ("To you [is it being] liked?").
    "She feels bad" - "Jej plocho" ("To her [it is] bad").

    There is also 'yok' word that we use for 'no'. " bizimle gelmek ister misin? - yok gelmicem".
    "Hayır" can be unpolite or hard way to say "no" in some situations. That's also wierd to me.

    In Indonesian we also have plural forms and singular form. Plural form is done by replicating the word, like word apple is "apel", word "apples" is "apel-apel". but in case we combine with numbers we don't use the plural, it becomes "dua apel" means "two apples", dua apel-apel means 2 groups of apples, same like in Turkish. the way we think is because we use multiplication way of thinking. English is descriptive to describe numbers. Indonesian is multiplicative. So if English says, those are apples. and the apples are (the amount is) two. But in Indonesian we say 2 x apel

    • @bigon558

      Two apples in Turkish is "İki elmalar" and doesnt mean two groups of apples it means nothing, it's just doesn't make sense.

    In Lebanese Arabic we got pretty similar proverbs, for instance for the " got kadar " one we say " the size of a scorpions's pussy ", for "kor gibi" we say " it breaks the back" or " it fucks the heart ". It's a cultural thing that you won't find in neighboring countries.

    Thanks for your video. I already knew the things you said, but the way you explained it was very funny. I have been studying Turkish for 4 years and it was very difficult at first. Even now i have trouble understanding because of the topic of the sentence. I mean, i can drink a coffee until the verb is coming 😁My conclusion is that Turkish is intuitive and consists of phrasal blocks inside a big big block phrase. I have two favorite words that help in everyday speech. Diye and Ki. It's very interesting to use them. Maybe you can make a video for each of them 🙂Romanya'dan selamlar. We also use tzzz like olmaz, imkansız.

    • @mfatihy_

      Believe it or not, as a Turkish, I actually don't like the verb being at the end, either. I think "subject - verb - object" is more effective and makes more sense.

    Thank you for your lessons, they proved to be most enlightening.
    I have been learning Turkish for two months now, and the craziest thing so far, in my humble opinion, is the fact that a noun, being the subject in a sentence, may (and will) change its form depending merely on "whose" this noun is.
    With my mother tongue being Russian, I'm well acquainted with declensions and noun cases as a concept. But it's still weird to me that "This car is black" will be "Bu araba siyah", while "My friend's car is black" will be "Arkadeşımın arabası siyah". In Russian (or in German) it would be the nominative case all the way.
    I hope to get used to it, but it takes some time.

Gecenlerde konusurken Turkceyle ilgili daha once farketmedigim bir sey farkettim ve paylasmak istiyorum. Birini cok sevdigimizde "Seni yerim" diyoruz. Bunun bi anlami yok aslinda ama birinde sevdigimiz ve begendigimiz fiziksel ozellikleri de hep bir besine benzeterek iltifarlarda bulunuyoruz. Mesela "zeytin goz, findik burun, elma yanak, bal dudak". Belki zamanla bu sebepten seni yerim demeye baslamis olabiliriz diye dusundum. Video icin tesekkurler, devamini bekliyoruz!!!!!

    As someone who uses flexible sentences a lot in Turkish, I have a really hard time writing in English. For people like me, the lack of sentence flexibility in a language is incredibly frustrating. For example, I had a lot of trouble translate my second sentence in Turkish into English.

      @francophone. ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@midnight.turmoil It makes sense to me, except when you tranlate it literally into another language. But here is a close approximation (but it is grammatically incorrect and not a literal translation) :
      Doing well?
      Doing well.
      Ça va is kind of an impersonal expression, I guess. You can't add a pronoun to it like "You" or "I", that would not be correct, whereas you need to do exactly that to make "Doing well" be correct:
      Are you doing well?
      I am doing well.
      This still isn't something that is said in English afaik. As I said before, it also isn't a literal translation of ça va (that would be "It goes"). It is just go explain how it isn't weird.
      A close example would be this:
      It's going well?
      It's going well.
      Though I added some words. I hope this will help it seem less weird.

    In Russian "I have" is most of the time constructed as у меня есть, which is literally "with me is ..." or in German "bei mir ist... "
    Then the word "be" also somehow disappeared completely, except in the just mentioned construction of "to have", while other slavic languages still have it. I'm a student would be "я студент", while for example in Czech it is "Ja jsem student"
    And finally the number system in Russian is insane. A number ending with 1 needs singular in the nominative case (apple = яблоко), 2-4 needs ALSO singular, but in genitive (яблока) and 5-0 genitive plural (яблок), except 11-19 which all need genitive plural.
    So there are interesting similarities

    I am a native Russian speaker, and currently I am learning Turkish. And when i thought those mentioned differences over closely, I surprisingly found that in Russian we also have the same features, even though Russian is an Indo-European language.
    We don't use the word "to be" at all, so "I am rich" is "Я богат" ("Я" means "I", "богат" means "rich"). We use the similar structure to express "to have", so "I have a care" means "У меня есть машина" ("literally " Car of mine exists"). And the word order in Russian is super flexible, the only rule is to never use prefixes as postfixes. That was an interesting video. Thanks for it!

Other sounds I hear a lot, which also mean different things depending on HOW you say it, and your facial expression is "Oh-HA!" And my family uses the "tsk tsk" sound as well as if to say you just did something naughty or also to say "no" as Turks do. I realllllly want to learn Turkish! I am very drawn to different languages. I speak English, Spanish, I understand almost 100% Italian, but learning how to speak it, and now I'm learning Turkish.
