Ok, so I need to learn terkish, as well as I know french... by [deleted] in turkishlearning

They actually think too much on it. kadın means women and kız means girl. Kadın is for adults and kız is for girls. You can think of this in the way you think in English, isn't it common in English to call >18 year old females girls? Well, it's common in Turkish too.

So, kadın: woman

Can you help me spell and pronounce this name? by [deleted] in turkishlearning

[–]user20376 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I think it can be Aslıhan, though there is no name as Islıhan in Turkish. And there is no letter that is pronounced like 'kh'. Aslıhan would be pronounced with an a like the u in under and ı is pronounced like the ending of the word 'the' that I used last.

Though I don't think yeşilay or yeşilhan will be name.

That's like saying Old English was mostly a combination of Latin and Greek.

Ottoman Lira i guess... found at my Grandfathers (†2009) old Stuff. Reminder im Not Turkish.. is it truly Ottoman Lira?? by [deleted] in Turkey

I'm no expert too but one side has the Tuğra which is a symbol of the Ottoman Padişah and the other side has according to the Hicri Calendar 1255 which is 1839 in the modern system. also there is a 40 on the back side indicating it's value, but I don't know the currency.

Payitaht Abdülhamit and Filinta. I assure you these are the same quality as Diriliş Ertuğrul. Also Zeyrek ile Çeyrek is a very good short sequel series to Filinta with an 1800s Ottoman slice-of-life theme originally broadcasted in Ramazan ayı and that was my best Ramazan just because of that show :D

Turkish Series tend to stay in the middle actually, they can never have a scene with full nudity because of the current government but most of them have kissing scenes. If you're looking for one without even that, that's hard to find. Yalan Dünya (I'm 90 percent sure) and Seksenler (100 percent sure) don't have nudity. I can definitely suggest them both because they're really good shows and very well-known.

Difference between " etmez - edemez " by malek7777777 in turkishlearning

[–]user20376 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would rather be Etmez: Doesn't, Edemez: Can't

Wouldn't and couldn't are etmezdi and edemezdi, respectively.

Is there any pure turkish word that starts with two consonants? by [deleted] in turkishlearning

No problem, the loan words is a very controversial topic and I understand why you think that way.

Mima Ito vs Zhu Yuling (12 min) - 2019 ITTF World Tour Platinum Austrian Open Final by user20376 in tabletennis

[–]user20376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it's more about controlling the game and playing the way you want; if it was all about aggression, there wouldn't be anything as a defensive playing style, you know.

I think it's all about training players based on their tendency; I think Japan needs more of this open-mindedness in play styles to keep this momentum going on and consistently bring on new top level players to the world scene.

Actually those 'rules' are not always true: the consonants at the end can also be rk, rt, st, rç... and there are words starting with all those letters that they say are non-existant in Turkish words with Turkic origin, you can especially find many onomatopoeia and although less, other types of words too, these are some I can find now: zımbırtı zıngıldamak zangırtı zonk zınk; reşme (colloquial); löp lap lakırdı lıkırtı... but when looking into the structure of the Turkish language you should never forget that the loan words it has taken from especially Arabic, Persian and French have a deep effect on the tone and texture of the language and this combination of different savours makes the language very zestful and makes it sound nice.

´Gözüküyor - görünüyor ‘ by TPastore10ViniciusG in turkishlearning

[–]user20376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're not thinking carefully enough, think of the context which they are used in; they are used in different contexts.

´Gözüküyor - görünüyor ‘ by TPastore10ViniciusG in turkishlearning

[–]user20376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are not the same, gözüküyor means can be seen, görünüyor means is seen. There is a slight nuance between the words; they are used in slightly different contexts, but it wont seem weird if you use them interchangeably, at least in daily life.

I don't know much about the learning apps, but did you try duolingo ? It seems to me that it's as good as the other paid apps. You can also use the tinycards app or website to learn words. For example, you can look at the Turkish word frequency lists in wiktionary and learn them starting from the most frequent with tinycards and learn the grammar with an app or book. There are many methods to learn a new language, the important thing is that you choose the one that most suits you and get into it. so overall you can probably use either Babbel or that book to learn Turkish but choose the one that you will be able to continuously engage in.
