Basic Turkish Vocabularies for Newcomers

 

Hi everyone, welcome to this exciting journey of learning Turkish. My name is Mahsa & I will teach you some basic vocabulary for newcomers. Let's get started!

The first word I will teach you is "Merhaba" which means Hello, Hi. The other word you can use is Selam. These words are used for daily greetings in Turkey.

Now, moving on to the word Ben means I. "Ben" is the subject pronoun in Turkish used for the one "doing" verb.

Anyway, let's get on with, some daily nouns that you can hear them are such as, Ev means home, 

Fırın which is where you go to place for fresh bread (Ekmek) because it implies bakery, 

And lastly, taksi means taxi.

Let's dig into the first verb, gel which means come, and another very useful verb is git which means go.

The infinitive form of gel is gelmek and the infinitive form of git is gitmek.

e.g. ben geliyorum. 2. Taksi geliyor.

e.g. Ben gidiyorum. 2. Taksi gidiyor.

Moving on, let’s get familiar with some Demonstrative pronouns in Turkish. 

"Bu" means this, "O" translates to that, "Bunlar" is the Turkish term for these, and "Onlar" means those.

e.g. Bu ev which means this home.

e.g. O taksi which means that taxi.

e.g. Onlar nerde? where is those? 

Nerde is one of the question words in Turkish which means where is?

Now how about using some of these words to make simple sentences, let's do it! 

Ben eve geliyorum,  I'm coming home

Ben eve gidiyorum,  I'm going to home.

Taksi nerde? where is the taxi?

Ev nerde? Where is the home?

If you are looking for a bakery you can ask Fırın nerde? Where is the bakery?

alright, we came to the end of this lesson. Today you learned some basic words and sentences. you can make your simple sentences with these words in the comment below.  also, you can watch this video on your YouTube "Lingoni Turkish" channel. thank you for joining me. look forward to seeing you next time. until then, hoşçakalın.
