THIS is why Turkish is a crazy language! 

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! 😅

After 5:50, *it is the same in Greek. "How are you?" in Greek is actually "Πώς είσαι;" (Pós íse?), but almost all the Greeks use "Τι κάνεις;" (Ti kánis?) which means "What are you doing?". The answer is the same way with Turkish...* 😂 _(I am a Turkish who lives in Greece, and learning Greek since 3-4 years/now on B2 level ❤🇬🇷)_

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 ! Cuando quieras hablar con un cubano que habla muy bien el español, ponte en contacto conmigo ! Puedes dejar comentario en uno de mis videos !!! UN ABRAZO de NYC !!!* 💚💚💚

"Ne yapiyorisun" as "what're you doing" with an answer of "I'm good" is pretty well the same as English "How're you doing" and the answer "I'm fine"

Hungarian has lots of common again. We also not use the verb 'be' and 'have', using prefixes and suffixes, also do not use plural with numbers and can vary the order of words in sentences. 😊

The thing I love most about your videos is that you can see and explain our beautiful language from a non-Turkish speaker perspective 😃 Because you not only speak those languages, but you also understand the linguistics and culture behind them. I think this is what differentiates you from other language-related channels. Huge thank you!

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.

This video puts a smile on my face! Thank you! Can't wait to speak Turkish fluently. I'm Haitian, but I know 4 languages. I've watched so many turkish series! This language is amazing. I learn songs even when I don't understand anything.

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.

Italian senteces are the same, when you need to point out " that's you, who have to do something,not others" like in the example of the school: truly same!

Bana iki elma ver dediğinde aslında 'Bana iki tane elma verir misin?' demek istiyorsun. Apples'taki s harfi de taneyi kast ediyor. Biz taneyi söylemeden iki elma diyoruz. 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. Onlar kelimeleri veya cümleyi gereksiz uzatırken biz pratiklik yapıp az kelimeyle durumumuzu anlatabiliyoruz ve karşımızdakinden dönüş alıyoruz.

I really liked this video. I have bien studying turkish for almost two years (Not At school, just by myself). 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!

Çok iyi tespitler bu arada hiç türkçeye bu açıdan bakmamıştım

Well, that’s just how Turkic languages work. Greetings from Uzbekistan!

Great video ! So interesting ! I’m really gonna watch more !! Thanks 👍🏼👏👏

please go on with those kinds of videos . I am studying turkish with a mexican couple who have been living in balıkesir since last october. as an english teacher, it is a great challenge for me.these videos are so helpful for me and especially for them .In some situations they ask me something which I heve never thought on it, and ı feel stucked.

I'm from Bulgaria and as neighbors we have a lot in common :) We use the "Ooofff" and the "cık" sound too and many Bulgarian mothers are mad at this exclamation🤭 I'm learning Turkish and maybe some things seem a lot more natural and normal to me than an English speaker for example.. like "knock on wood" 😁

I have a Turkish friend and he always wanted to know about what I was doing. In the beginning I was annoyed. I considered it kinda invasive... such as "not my mommy and neither my husband checked me like that". For a while I got used to it. Then I actually described everything I was doing at that moment - which now I guess, it would be annoying for him..haha. Later I started to text "I'm texting you, that is it". Now everything makes sense. hahah Thanks Reşat :)

I freakin love turkish, I speak spanish and english, grew up in USA my whole life, but this language just clicks with me. thanks for this video.

I love this!! More please! Thank you!!!

I can't wait to your course!

Love to see the sound video!

Hi, thanks for these explanations. In spanish, at least in Argentina, we use "úfaaa" when we feel disturbed and don't want to do something. And if we say ufaa to our mothers we get a similar answer as your mother does.

Thank you, enjoyable and very interesting video 😊

I really liked this video a lot - thank you!!! ❤

Yüzünü görür görmez günüm şenlendi ❤️🥹

Türk olmama rağmen çok eğlendim 😆

This is perfect Thank You!

Hi Reşat, awesome video as usual, have no idea how much I enjoy your teaching. I just wanted to comment that in Spanish we have a saying “un ojo de la cara” that’s when something is really expensive. Keep up the good work!

Well, in Russian the verb "be" in fact was eliminated like 1m years ago. I've learned French, German, Italian, Polish, even Japanese. My mother tongues are Byelorussian and Russian, I can very well understand Ukranian and hell yes, Turkce is a COMPLETELY different story, my brain is on fire. I mean it!

Really interesting video, need more please Thanks

The flexibility in the structure of a sentence in Turkish makes sense to someone who speaks spanish. "A la escuela voy" or "voy a la escuela" ( I'm going to school) Both structures are gramatically correct in spanish.

Super content! In the TV series I watch, they day ENOUGH a lot! I have enjoy your content so much.

Devrik cümleleri çok kullanan biri olarak İngilizce'de yazı yazarken gerçekten çok fazla zorlanıyorum. Acayip sinir bozucu bu durum cümle esnekliğinin bir dilde olmaması benim gibiler için. Örneğin; 2. cümleyi İngilizce çevireceğim derken götüm çıktı. (deyimleri de çok kullanıyoruz, bunu da anlatabilirsin.) 😂 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.

I'd love to watch a video about different sounds in Turkish. I absolutely love the 'cik sound'. 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 kinda feel these sounds add to the uniqueness of a language and show a certain kind of intimacy because they are used rather informally and it's a bit like 'speaking without words and yet you understand me'.

Please upload your videos about Turkish language more often I am from Pakistan and I am going to have my higher studies from Turkey so I am trying to learn the language from different platforms but yours way of defining things and expressing them is so good. I am glad that I found your channel

I'm learning Turkish, yavaş yavaş, and it's so cool that it is so different and requires learners to think differently! instead of saying 1 to 1 you could say "word for word"! From one teacher to another! I appreciate you!

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.

Harika videoydu, lütfen başka videolar da gelsin.❤

Uzun zamandır en keyif aldığım videoydu 😂

Appreciate your awesome turkish class🎉🎉🎉🎉

I've been following you and sending my Turkish students learning English to your channel, I'd love to work/collaborate with you sometime! Seriously! I started learning Turkish because my students are amazing and inspiring! People say, why on earth are you learning Turkish? And I respond, it's a cool language, and why not!?! I'm a language nerd!

This was a great video 😉😇

Thank you thank you!!! I enjoy taking the time to watch your videos because I need naturally spoken Turkish, not the ‘grammatically correct’ Turkish. 😅 I already speak Spanish and English and got to learn both by native speakers. Learning Turkish is complex and I’m trying to practice it but I needed this video! ☺️

Yes please! The sounds will be good to know. Make the video of sounds like the cik 😊

Videoların gerçekten çok iyi. Farklı diller konuşuyor olman dile olan yaklaşımını olumlu yönde geliştirmiş. Ben de anadilim Tükçe dahil 3 dil biliyorum ve videolarını zevkle izliyorum. Tebrik ederim.

That thing with numbers and plural nouns we do all the time in informal Brazilian Portuguese.

Thank you. 🌻

Such a fascinating language Turkish! I'm so curious and would like to know more about it. I feel sorry I don't have time

Süper hocam. Sağ ol 🙏

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.

Sınav bana kol gibi girdi derdik 😂

Çok öğretici olmuş gerçekten Ingilizcede bazı kelimeleri nerede kullanacagım hakkında fikir sahibi oldum çok teşekkürler This is very nice Channel 😊

Thank you for this. I am trying to learn Turkce and I am just starting to get it after 2 yrs. Planing a trip next year.

This video is so accurate. I am not native turkish but i spend a lot of my time in turkey 🇹🇷.

I find this more and more interesting

This has really helped me understand these bizarre things I keep noticing (this and the mispronunciation video you did!) So I'm not going nuts after all. THANK YOU teşekkürler !

A video about sounds in Turkish would be interesting :D

I really enjoy watching your clips. I wish I could understand the turkish language since I love watching their dizis but you speak so quickly that it's so hard, especially since the sentence structure is quite different. Still I love to hear the sound of it too and then follow the ES!

by just looking at your eyes, one wanna learn Turkish 😀🤩

I want the course!! Can’t wait!! Wait… is it published now and I am just finding your channel late in the game😅

Good job😊

I am watching your videos from India 🇮🇳 I really want to learn Turkish language and please keep making videos about Turkish language.❤

I am really in love with Turkish... you've just gained a sub and a student... iam learning on Duo lingo😂...but I learnt my counting with you... keep teaching 😅

I am learning Turkish right now and I see many similarities with Farsi (my mother tongue) which made some of these interesting grammar rules, sentence structures and the "tsk" sound relatable and easier to catch on to !!

Bir Türk olarak bende bazen Türkçenin mantığını anlamıyorum..

I gotta say the first sound I noticed in Turkish films and even sometimes mimic unintentionally is "Ooooofff!" I don't know why but I really like this sound. Thanks for the video!

Very interesting structure …also the way metaphors are used ! I am French and I speak 5 languages fluently

Bence bu 2 elma meselesi çok normal asıl İngilizcede saçma duruyor yani 2 elmalar çok tuhaf geliyor ben zaten belirtmişim 2 tane olduğunu neden ayrıca elmaya çoğul eki getireyim ki... Türkçe çok pratik bir dil konuşurken karşıdaki insan bizi en kolay nasıl anlar buna yoğunlaşan bir dil bence

The meaning of teşekkürler is thank you for asking.

We ❤this video . Please make more content like 👍 it 🎉

Video çok iyi olmuş cidden böyle tam çeviriler yapınca yada diğer dillerle karşılaştırınca kulağa çok garip geliyor "biz niye böyle yapıyoruz ya" diyorum kqhslwbslnwksn bu arada sesin çok iyi insanın dinleyesi geliyor ve nedensizce rahatlatıcı wkhdkwhdkwbkdbsksbd

I'm Brazilian and I'm about to visit Turkey, and the language makes me very curious, I want to learn, and I'm learning, I think it's really cool precisely because it's totally different and outside the standard I know of Brazilian Portuguese, French and English. And his explanations are very practical and objective. I'm really enjoying it, Turkish is becoming much clearer, I see more and more that it's not as difficult as it seemed before I acquired a lot of information about it.I have a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

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.

I would love to learn more about the Turkish language because I am a big fan of Turkish drama in RU-vid 😊

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").

👏 harika bir içerik

Oooffff 😁 heard this a lot from Turkish series

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

Hi ,thank you from Canada 🇨🇦

I like it. South African. We love our Turkish series's. Resh, your good. Only thing is the words on the screen is blocked out at the bottom. Keep up the good work.

In spanish "Cómo estas?" ( how are you?) is like saying hello, nobody expects more than the answer " Bien, gracias, y tu?" ( Fine, thank you, and you?)

Yes the sounds would be good and also past, present and future tenses in Turkish language

Merhabalar, Meksikali erkek arkadasim Turkce ogrenmek istedigi icin videolar ararken kanaliniza rastladim ve cok aciklayici anlatiyorsunuz lutfen bu tur icerikler cekmeye devam edin ayrica egitim videolari cekeceginizi duyduguma da cok sevindim. 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!!!!!

Yes I’m British and I give up lol 😀🤷‍♀️

Assalamu Alakom 👋 Good Afternoon Watching 👀 Here Your Amazing Upload Sooo Nice 👍 Sharing Have A Good Weekend 👋

Been struggle to learning this language and still on fire 🔥 I know Turkish totally DIFFERENT with others ama O dile aşiğim..napicaamm😅

Böyle videolar daha da gelsinn. Ana dilimi aynı şekilde onun da ana dili olan, yabancılar için anlatan insanları izlemek çok eğlenceli ve senin yapman çok daha iyi oluyo abshdnvjbgfud

I really like your channel. I am learning Turkish. Your videos are very clear cut and cut to the chase videos. Your video on learning days of the week and time was really helpful. In learning about how to remember days of the week in Turkish. I listen to a lot of Turkish music now. Do you or any of your other subscribers have recommendation for Turkish music? So far I am liking Tarkan and Hande Yener. There are some others. But those two artists come to mind right away. Greetings from British Columbia Canada.

Plural: in turkish it's used like "times" in english. Like 2 times Apple = 🍎🍏 2 times Apples = 🍏🍏🍏 🍎🍎🍎

Resat, lutfen show us the declination of verbs and how many tenses there are! ❤

What i love about our beloved turkish is when your words ends differently given the context. LOVE IT 😀 damn i be forgetting how to end a word in a sentence and just end up butchering it. Luckily my fellow turks understand me anyway and also realize my asss is a "foreigner" so to speak.

Thanks for your videos. I am from Iran, and there are similtaries in our languages, like the response to how are you? It is the same . We are thanking and saying and you? 😂 I remember my response in English was always confusing the person 😂

In my country Jamaica where we speak english or patwaa we used the cik sound when someone one annoyes us (english )badda wi (patwaa )

I am studying Turkish on my own. I want to learn more about my ancestors. Thank you. Keep going .

Nasılsın cevabına teşekkürler yada sağol demek aslında sorduğun için teşekkürler anlamındadır. ❤

In Venezuela we also do the cik sound, but in different situations. When things didn't go as planned or when something bothers you or as an answer for somethig absurd. " You like that boy, don't you? Cik, you are crazy, I don't!" Or in "Cik, my car won't start". And Uf is also used. Go and do your homework, Answer: Ufff! ( as in I don't feel like)

I am from Burma 🇲🇲 @ Myanmar 🇲🇲. I speak English,Italian and learning Turkish. My native language Burmese’s grammar is the same in Turkish grammar,see how lucky I am!😊
