selam!!
i'm not turkish and have never been there before
but i met a lot of turkish friends last summer in the states and i learned many phrases
my fav one so far: ben cok acim!!
lol

[eytr]

Haha cool! What other phrases you know?

[Original TroubleMaker]

@ ben çok açım

I wonder who taught you that

[San_aka_nuriko]

lol
that's the most important one i think
there was once my turkish friend was non-stop talking to his friend who's working at a dip'n'dots vendor
in turkish of course
when they finally finished talking and my friend was about to leave
i thought "my turn FINALLY"
so i said to the vendor "ben cok acim, dip'n'dots lutfen"
and my friend dragged me away right away lol
i have no idea about the grammer tho...

other phrases i learned are just normal words
the first one was "selam", i learned it from my co-worker
and then i saw someone i didnt know at all was from turkey too (we all have our country on our name tags)
so i said "selam" to him, and then he taught me "hoscakal"
and the next time i met my co-worker, i said "hoscakal" to him
and he was surprised and taought me "gule gule"
it became my fav thing to do when i worked
whenever i saw a turkish i said something to them
and they were always surprised and some of them was nice to teach me more and we became friends
so i learned new words almost everyday
it was fun
wish i could learn more

haha sounds nice if you want to learn a word i can help you too but of course i can't help about pronunciation

[San_aka_nuriko]

tesukur ederim
(spelling?)

i think the biggest problem i have is that i dont know how to bounce my tongue
it's so difficult

[eytr]

yeah talking is usually the hardest part of learning a language

and it would be tesekkur ederim but you were pretty close

[San_aka_nuriko]

i know how to say it(without the RRRRRRR lol) but wasnt sure about the spelling
but i'm happy that at least i still remember how to say it

[eytr]

too less foreign people actually manage to spell turkish properly without that weird foreign accent but i guess it's a pretty hard thing to do so...
