@@Connie_TinuityError I know. I just posted this comment now so that everything is ready for tomorrow. :)

Could you go over some Ancient Languages - for example Minoan Linear A script seems to have been cracked by examination against Carian and Old Hungarian.... This might be a good tack for your channel to take on. It would probably be more difficult as there are no current speakers, however the decipherment of older languages is tracked back by comparison to known existing languages and scripts....

Please no requests.

​@@Langfocusits sad you did not talk about our other past tense. We have a "gossip past tense" that is hard to explain but basically means that you got the information in the sentece from someone else. İt's easier to show in sentences Ahmet eve gitmiş(it seems like ahmet has went home) Ahmet eve gitti(Ahmet went to home) We show this by putting "-mış/miş" to the end of a verb.

They also both have agglutinative grammar structures

@AttilaKhan 1453 salak herif.

I can testify to this as a native Turkish speaker, other way around though. Back in the day I had taken a very elementary level Japanese course and without almost any exception everybody in the class was surprised and happy to find out how identical Japanese and Turkish were 😊

As a fluent japanese and native Turkish yeah, only sentence order is same but grammar is quite different and vocabulary will be hard for you if u aim to learn turkish. My japanese level N2 btw

The sentence structure is similar but details are very different.

For us finns it seems rather familiar as well. 😉

The Hungarian language is the most important source for reconstructing the West Old Turkic language spoken west of the Ural in the 5th-12th centuries. The study by Arpad Berta and Andras Rona-Tas deals with the etymology of about 500 Hungarian words which are or may be of Old Turkic, in some cases of Middle Turkic origin. The Hungarian-Turkic contacts began in the 5th century and lasted a long period. The earliest loanwords were copied from a Western Old Turkic idiom; the latest loanwords were borrowed from the language of the Cumans who settled down in Hungary in the first half of 13th century. The authors excluded the Ottoman words from the corpus. In all cases the authors give the etymology of the Turkic word, the reconstructed copied form, the form as adapted by the Hungarian language and the history of the word. The detailed introduction focuses on the former research, the historical setting and the technical framework. In the concluding chapters the authors reconstruct the Ancient Hungarian language at the time of the Turkic-Hungarian contacts and outline the structure of the West Old Turkic language. A bibliography and several indices help the reader to use the book. West Old Turkic: Turkic Loanwords in Hungarian, László Károly András Róna-Tas, Árpád Berta, László Károly

The Hungarian word árpa was borrowed from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), from Proto-Turkic *arpa.[5][6][4] The Hungarians cohabited for centuries with Turkic people, which accounts for over 10% word roots in modern Hungarian being Turkic. In Hungarian, most pastoral terms are Turkic in origin, and agricultural terms are 50% r-Turkic. Many Hungarian names, and also animal and plant names,[7] are of Turkic origin, and the majority of tribe names were of Turkic origin.[8]Turkic is, along with Uralic, German and Slavic, one of the four languages that have the greatest percentage of word roots in the Hungarian language. However, the Magyars are not a Turkic people, though the Turks made a genetic and linguistic contribution.[9][10]

So if I understand it correctly, the way to say there is/ there isn't is basically the same in both languages Can any linguist explain how that happens only through contact when they are not related?

They are related albeit very distantly

There were some linguistic people who formulate the logic behind Turkis grammmar and bridge those similarities with some fundamental physics formulas.

You are not alone: Nicholas Negroponte, the founder and the director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Laboratory and the author of the 1995 bestseller Being Digital, just said what you wrote. He especially lauded the precision of Turkish pronounciation and said Turkish would be an ideal universal medium.

That's what happens when someone has balls to reform a language, introduce rules, make everything behave the same. Instead of carrying all the legacy exceptions for everything.

Linguists' opinions on Turkish Grammar Prof. David Cuthell : “I know many foreign languages. Among these languages, Turkish is such a different language that it is as if a hundred high mathematics professors came together to create Turkish. A dozen words are produced from one root. Turkish is such a language that it is a language of emotion, thought, logic and philosophy in itself.” ------------------- Max Müller “Even reading a Turkish grammar is a real pleasure, even if he hasn’t had the slightest desire to speak and write Turkish. Those who hear the skillful style in the mods, the compliance with the rules that dominate all the shots, the transparency seen throughout the productions, the marvelous power of the human intelligence that shines in the language will not fail to be amazed. This is such a grammar that we can watch the inner formations of thought in it, just as we can watch the formation of honeycombs in a crystal… The grammatical rules of the Turkish language are so orderly and flawless that a committee of linguists, an academy, approves this language. It is possible to think that it is a language made with consciousness. ----------------------------- Prof. Dr. Johan Vandewalle;, now I have learned about 50 languages ​​. After learning languages ​​with very different systems, the language that I still admire the most, the language that I find most logical and mathematical is Turkish.” johan Vandewalle (The text is written by him. It is written by him in Turkish.) “…I think that a native Turkish speaker thinks in short sentences, and when speaking, he builds complex structures by connecting these short sentences in various ways. This "tendency to connect sentences" can be weak in some speakers, and strong in others, almost to the extent of a disease. The linguistic structures that emerged in this last situation reflect the superior possibilities of the human mind in the best way. Although I have studied many languages ​​belonging to different language groups, I can say that I have never come across a structure that fascinates me as much as complex sentence structures in Turkish. If you let me be a little sentimental, I sometimes say to myself, “I wish Chomsky had learned Turkish when he was younger too…”. I'm sure then modern linguistics would have been shaped according to Turkish, not English…” ------------------ *Receiving the Babylonian World Award, Belgium's Ghent University Center for Eastern Languages and Cultures, Dr. Johann Van De Walle explains why he is interested in Turkish today: “Turkish can be learned in a very short time. The rules in chess are logical, simple and few in number. Even a seven-year-old can learn to play chess. Despite this convenience, the person playing chess does not get bored throughout his life. The game possibilities are endless. It is a very magical feature that the same situation exists in the Turkish grammar system. Turkish grammar is a language that has a regular and unexceptional character almost as much as mathematics. -------------- Paul Roux: "Turkish is a mathematical language full of thought and intellect." *Moliere: "Turkish is language to be admired; you can express a great deal by a few words." *French Turcologist Jean Deny : "The Turkish language suggests that it was formed as a result of the consultation and discussion of an elite committee of scholars. Turkish verbs have such a peculiarity that they cannot be found in any of the Arian languages. This feature is the power to form new words with affixes”. Jean Deny *Herbert W. Duda:“Turkish, which expresses all thoughts and feelings in the most perfect way, has such a rich vocabulary that everyone admires this language and accepts it as the most perfect scientific language.'”. *Herbert Jansky: “Turkish language is an extremely rich and easy-to-understand, easy-to-learn scientific language in terms of vocabulary, phonetics, orthography, syntax and vocabulary.” ** page 257 in book (The Science of Language by Max Müller in 1861) It is a real pleasure to read a Turkish grammar, even though one may have no wish to acquire it practically. The ingenious manner in which the numerous grammatical forms are brought out, the regularity which pervades the system of declension and conjugation, the transparency and intelligibility of the whole structure, must strike all who have a sense of that wonderful power of the human mind which has displayed itself in language. Given so small a number of graphic and demonstrative roots as would hardly suffice to express the commonest wants of human beings, to produce an instrument that shall render the faintest shades of feeling and thought;-given a vague infinitive or a stern imperative, to derive from it such moods as an optative or subjunctive, and tenses as an aorist or paulo-post future;-given incoherent utterances, to arrange them into a system where all is uniform and regular, all combined and harmonious;-such is the work of the human mind which we see realized in “language.” But in most languages nothing of this early process remains visible. They stand before us like solid rocks, and the microscope of the philologist alone can reveal the remains of organic life with which they are built up. In the grammar of the Turkic languages, on the contrary, we have before us a language of perfectly transparent structure, and a grammar the inner workings of which we can study, as if watching the building of cells in a crystal bee-hive. An eminent orientalist remarked “we might imagine Turkish to be the result of the deliberations of some eminent society of learned men;” but no such society could have devised what the mind of man produced, left to itself in the steppes, and guided only by its innate laws, or by an instinctive power as wonderful as any within the realm of nature.

But it's not much of a deal because we consider ourselves Turks in nationality, race is not important . Also, pre-Turkic Anatolian heritage is not wiped out it is still part of our culture.

Plus, Anatolia has always been home to many different civilizations simultaneously, there is no one kind of people who are native Anatolians

But yeah we speak Turkish if that's what you mean by assimilation. I would actually say that we (people of different etnicities in Anatolia and Turks) are united under this language.

It is good for your mouth and the person's ear who listens to you. You dont have to make big changes in your mouth during a word.

All rules simply based on not to change your mouth and tounge's position too much. When you catch that it will be easier to understand all 👍🏻

That's OK. The vowel harmony is hard for non-native speakers but don't worry people will still understand you if you say the ending of the word softly.

When you need help I can help you.

Turkish is not an easy language and I am saying this as a native speaker. English is much simpler in my opinion. My foreign friends who live in Turkey learned Turkish incredibly fast. I think it is related to the fact that they were surrounded with Turkish speakers and had opportunity to practise it. I guess practice helps.

Me the same with uzbek my friend❤😂. I can already understand a lot when people talk uzbek. Let me live their for only 1 week (max 2 weeks) and I am 100% sure I will be fluent. The accent might be a problem tho. We turkish people don't tend to have that strong slavic accent and the pronunciation might be difficult but nothing impossible. And the persians words that the uzbek language has (a lot more than us) might be a problem. Since we turkish people have 2 words for one thing. Çağır (turkish) and çimen (persian) for grass [only for an example] it might be easy depending on what words you use. [The turkic or the persian one] The same is with Arabic. Most of the loan words we have are actually not needed but we use it anyway. Anyway, I really wish to visit Uzbekistan one day! Sizi seviyorum gardaşlarım!

Based Turkic speakers😁

Both Turkic language, tatar and Turkish are sister languages. More over crimean tatar is %80 the same with Turkish

Because we speak the same language as them, Turkish. Turkish is a Kipchak dialect spoken only in Tatarstan. In Turkey, the Oghuz dialect of Turkish is spoken.

Tatar speakers would adopt Turkish in the blink of an eye if they are exposed to it. Two languages are very similar.

@@heavenlymilano Not two languages, but two different dialects. We are the same nation with different dialects of the same language (Oguz, Kipchak and Karluk).

Really interesting! That's probably a remnant of the Ottoman Empire's rule over Hungary.

@@shinydewott That is very likely. OOOOR it might be something waaay back from Bashkiria or something because hungarian and turkic tribes were in contact more than once before settling in europe.

@@kavics98 Considering the word Pazar came to us from Persian, I doubt the word spread to the Hungarian/Uralic from Turkish before the Seljuks(where the Iranian-Turkish interaction really took off), and at that point Arpad had already taken over the Carpathians.

@ Haydar Ari _ There are many similar examples in the Turkish language, which always fascinate me. For example, the Turkish word "güvey", which means "bridegroom", is unknown to many Turks, or they don't know what it means. If I said "damat" , which is originally a persian word, every Turk would understand the meaning of the Turkish word "güvey". But if I were to add the Turkish phrase/idiom "kendi kendine gelin güvey oluyorsun", every Turk would also understand the meaning of the word "güvey". Or the Turkish word "ic güveysi" (meaning: son-in-law who lives with the family of his wife). The original word in the Turkish language for "bridegroom" is not "damat", but actually "güve/güvey" and it comes from the Turkish word "güvenmek", which means something like "trust". The deeper meaning of this word "güve/güvey" is that the Turkish language equates the "güvey", so the "bridegroom", with "trust" or "entrust" (entrust the bride). Exactly this deeper meaning in the word itself, is what fascinates me. footnote: Definition of ""gelin güvey olmak"" in English: "make illusions" "reckon without one's host" "to build castles in Spain" "enjoy happy daydreams" "to count one's chickens before they're hatched"

And these days it is called as “ gossip tense “ on the internet and i think it is hilarious

This feature is not unique to Turkish. It's called evidentiality and it's present in a wide array of languages, particularly in native languages of South America. They often have complicated systems of evidentiality where they can distinguish between direct information, inference, and hearsay. German can do something similar with modal verbs, for instance: "Der Postbote hat den Brief gebracht." - the postman has delivered the letter; I know for certain. "Der Postbote wird den Brief gebracht haben." - I'm guessing the postman has delivered the letter, or I have inferred it from other information. "Der Postbote soll den Brief gebracht haben." - Other people have told me he has delivered the letter, I know it from hearsay. "Der Postbote muss den Brief gebracht haben." - Based on other factors, I can only logically conclude that the postman has delivered the letter. Though Turkish is the only 'big' language that systematically employs evidentiality I know of and it is a pretty cool feature.

We have different tenses for the German examples you gave in addition to evidential tense. Der Postbote wird den Brief gebracht haben(Postacı mektubu getirmiş olacak/The mailman will have delivered the letter) Der Postbote muss/soll den Brief gebracht haben (Postacı mektubu getirmiş olmalıydı/The mailman must have brought the letter) But exclusive to Turkish we have: Postacı mektubu getir(miş) which would mean “I’ve been told that the mailman had brought the letter.”

TDKya inanma kardeş, çok çarpıtıyor onlar. Yabancı kökenli kelime oranı çok daha fazla

Turkish has times more vocabulary than that. That is just in that dictionary.

The Turks call it the past but it's applicable to present too. A phrase like "Öğrenciymiş" can be translated as "He says he is a student" or "He says he was a student". Sounds like "don't hold me accountable, I just said what he told me". This tense can also be used to express conclusions about events when you only see indications. You see your kids bag at the door: "Ali gelmiş" - "It looks like Ali has come". It's a pity Paul missed this feature in the re-make although it was in the original.

​@@ilghiz So another re-remake is needed

Can you give me an example of what you mean? :) I'm a Turkish learner ❤

​@@barborajezkova8393 It is called "-mış'lı geçmiş zaman" As an example lets translate the next sentence "My dog ran away." If you have witnessed it yourself you would say: "Köpeğim kaçtı." But if you haven't witnessed it yourself this changes. In that case you would say: "Köpeğim kaçmış." They kinda mean the same thing but when you say "kaçmış" it means you didn't witness the event. Maybe you heard about it or maybe you came back from home and found out that the dog had ran away. Also as ilghiz mentioned it is applicable to present too

We invented that tense specific for gossiping.

Yeah you made a great assumption! Due to the verbs being at the end of the sentences, for example, who did what? question gets answered with the word that at the end of the sentence, so you have to wait to hear to the end of the sentence, but it's not the case always. In formality, yes we have SOV rule, but not in daily life. Basically you can say I went to the cafe to drink coffee which translates to Kahve içmeye kafeye gittim , the verb "gitmek -> gittim(past tense)" at the end of the sentence, but you can say these too which all have the same meaning: Kafeye gittim kahve içmeye, Gittim kafeye kahve içmeye, Kahve içmeye gittim kafeye, Kafeye kahve içmeye gittim etc. and all these sentences doesn't sound wrong to us. Pretty weird when you think about it 😂

Each language has its own system and logic structure. This affects the way people think. There is a very nice proverb in Turkish that explains this. "one language one person" So the more languages ​​you know, the more you think differently.

I am a Turk, and I don't think we are good listeners. You can think like that because of the special language system of Turkish. I mean we have to listen to the speaker at the end of the speech to understand the point of the matter.

good point!

@@aysegul2955 kinda like German right? super interesting

As far as I know, Hungarian, Võro Language of Estonia etc. have similar vowel harmony rules but Turkic languages have some extras.

It is not really hard to learn once you get the logic you can even don’t have to learn about rules of other additions (ek), you can guess how it should be structured because turkish grammar has philosophy based on harmony and you simply implement same logic on everything but it might be hard to get used to it and speak fluently for english speakers if your first language is finnish hungarian japanese or korean so you can learn it really fast i think

@@3ckortreat my native language is French and I speak English and German. Not the best ones to understand Turkish's logic but don't worry, I'm not (yet) planning to.

I don't know what makes you think that Turkish isn't hard to learn. It definitely is, especially if you come from another language family. Syntax doesn't mean dogshit when it comes to rate the difficulty in learning a language. Chinese has a very easy syntax and misses many features and concepts that other languages have. But it's still among the hardest language to learn out there.

​@@ulzzangloverxD Learning Turkish is not hard at all according to people that I have met who learned Turkish. But, for instance, for native English speakers, to speak Turkish without accent is almost impossible. For some reason, only Persian speakers have ability to speak it without accent.

@@proCaylak What i mean is, what you learn in Turkish lessons as a foreigner doesn’t cover the actual speech in Turkish life.

Even understanding the concept of “kıpkırmızı, yemyeşil, yepyeni, masmavi, koskocaman, miniminnacık, dopdoğal” might take years of practice.

@@Jazzgin no doubt, turkish language is "dipdifferent" about being a natural with those expressions.

Reconstruction of the Turkic Jie language, spoken by the Jie people, a Xiongnu tribal group su-Ø kete-r erkan boklug-gu tukta-ŋ English translation : When/as the army goes out, capture the Boklug (a chief) ! The Hunnic inscription on a dinner plate belonging to the last ruler of the Huns, Dengizich, was identified as Turkic. The Hunnic sample of Khan Diggiz plate ; kinkeg dikkiz ükü essä - kijü sax sax saxynil gür täηrig English translation : Beware of king Dikkiz the Wise's blow ! Retreat to the Tengri (God) beyond the world!

I wrote an article about that and it's no longer true.. jie is an unknown language and no languages fit it.

The Turks I know tell me that critizising Atatürk in the past meant prison and that he was basically a dictator like any other.

@@cyrusol they simply lying to you. he was a dictator but not in a bad way. no one would go to jail if they would critize him. there are many examples. he was undoubtly genius and great leader, founded and saved country and commanded a war.

My pleasure! Thanks for the comment.

Greetings Tyva brother from Turkey Turkish has a lot of loan words(including basic topic for example look Turkish color words) Unfortunately many Turkish people don't care Old-Turkic language, Turk brothers or sisters and etymology. So Turkish people thinking Ottoman Turkish lived Old Turkic era. So word of tuk meaning flag or banner? It's time may Mongols loan word from Turks.

So Tyva music groups and Tyva singer are great(Yat Kha, Khün Khürtü, Saidash Mongush etc.)

@@onuragcabay4078 yes, tuk means flag or banner. I know how it feels brother. So many people just don’t care about their country and culture. It’s sad.

@@SoIDubTheeUnforgiven tuk is tuğ(tu' or tugh) in Turkish and so Ottomans used tughs. I join with you Tyva brother

@@SoIDubTheeUnforgiven do you have another social media for example telegram?

In the past, many people from Bosnia migrated to Turkey and I saw that these people learned Turkish very quickly. Slavs learn Turkish more easily than any European.

Yup, that's a very significant feature, mostly unseen in Indo-European languages.

turks are mix of scythians and proto-mongolians. in 2000 bc, schythians came from iran to today mongolia. there were proto-mongolian people. they lived together there, married each other and turks has born there. turkic languages, including turkish, carry proto-mongolian logic mostly. proto-mongolians came from china to today mongolia. because of this, logic of proto-mongolian, KOREAN and JAPANESE languages are similar. these is a "northern china" connection between japanese and turkish language. because proto-mongolians and descendants of japanese people lived there together, once upon a time. turkic, mongolian, tungusic, korean and japanese people are related, so their languages are related too.

As a native turkish speaker and japanese learner, only similarities i found with both languages are: both of them are phonetic and both of them are agglutinative languages.

A Turkish friend of mine also thinks they're similar (at least grammar-wise). Both very agglutinative and SOV. However Turkish doesn't have topic-comment word order (to my knowledge) which is also heavily used in Japanese and Korean

@@kemalerdemsahin410I GIVE! I GIVE! UNCLE! UNCLE! I'm wrong. Japanese is an agglutinative language, with some analytic features, like particles. There. *_Is everyone happy now?_* When I think, "agglutinative language," I think of two examples: "Turkish" and "Finnish". The use of particles instead of case-suffixes in Japanese threw me. *I ADMIT THAT I GOT IT WRONG!!!* Is that sufficient? Or do I have to break out a scourge and whip myself 40 times while chanting, "Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa." to finally get all of you off of my back?

​@@John_Weiss The verbal morphology of Japanese is definitely not analytic, as it stacks suffixes onto each other to indicate grammatical function.

This might even be an understatement. As a central-western native German, even written Danish is a case of guesswork and conjecture. Spoken, it's a total mumble with maybe one familiar phoneme every 10 words or so.

Germanic languages splitted several centuries before most Turkic languages a fairer comparison for Turkic would be Slavic as both started to break off in the early middle ages (excluding Oghur Turkic)

I think its safe to liken them to say the Romance languages, which are all relatively similar and easy to learn for each other. They are more similar then the Germanic languages (although I should note Romanian is very different in numerous ways to the other Romance languages due to its different influences). Unless they are even more similar then I realize, which seems unlikely considering the geographic differences and the differences in influences.

How many languages do you know?

@@pandaren_brewmaster English is my native language. Intermediate level Spanish and beginner level European Portuguese...at the moment.

it is hard for a turkish person to learn english since english is svo, does not have many similar words with turkish, not phonetic and not an agglutinative language.

Yeap, Turkish people also struggle with English a lot. I personally love languages so it wasnt a big problem for me but most of my friends are really having hard times to learn it lol. But once you got the fundamentals of English grammar, it becomes easier to speak without thinking

One important feature of Turkish different than English (and many European language) is verb order is secondary. SOV is recommended and common but if not use will not be grammatically wrong. The reason is that sufiixes determines the task of the word. For example, an Turkcell (mobile phone service provider) use the sentence "Connect to life with Turkcell" in three different form. "Turkcelle bağlan hayata", "Hayata bağlan Turkcelle", "Bağlan Turkcelle hayata". All three is gramtically true in Turkish. And you can hear non SOV structure in daily life (As far as I see this is not the case in English). As far as I know Latin language is similar and SVO or SOV is just author preference and can be change over centruries. But generally this is forgetten for Turkish even it seems to me very interesting difference.

For me one of the hardest thing about English is answering a negative yes or no question. For example "So you didnt like this video?" If I want to say I dont like the video, my Turkish mind goes like this first I should approve your question since you guess right and give my answer. Which that means "Yes, I didnt like the video." But in English I had to say No in begining. Still confuses me thats why I only answer question. I dont use yes or no.

​@@ahmethakantozlu1389 That’s actually a _very_ confusing thing in English because the answer to “So, you didn’t like the video?” is actually “No, I didn’t” _or_ “No, I did” (not “Yes”-in other words, “No” for either response). I have never seen a grammar lesson _anywhere_ (in a book or online) that actually addresses this point. (I think it’s so embarrassingly illogical that people just like to pretend that it doesn’t exist.) As for me, a native speaker of English, I answer negative questions as you might in Turkish-“Yes, I didn’t”/ “No, I did”-I did that even as a five-year-old, my dad says-and, while it’s a little weird for the person I’m responding to, he or she always gets it. (I’m _not_ recommending that, however.)

Very punctual anchorings…

Thanks, Juan!

We lived together for 500 years, creating a huge common culture. Very happy to share words.

Turks basically carried Arabic and Persian words to Balkans. Para comes from Persian 'pare' which means reward or money.

​@@heavenlymilano doesn't matter

It's not surprising, I am Greek and modern (not ancient) Greek has 1000s of Turkish words. Some are used in everyday simple language, some have different meanings than the same word in Turkish (eg tsoglan is a child in Turkish, but a spoiled or ill-mannered child in common Greek)

I hear you bro.. As a native Turkish speaker, I felt the same when i was studying Persian language.

Thank you, Lawrence!

In case of Turkish, that’s true. People who study it usually fail :))) but people who watch Turkish series, for example, get the essence of the language and the way of thinking. It’s an analogue language. Gets messy when digitalized.

@@Jazzgin The opposite is true. The Turkish language is considered one of the most mathematically structured languages, especially from a grammatical perspective. As a computer engineer, I can personally attest to its solid and well-structured rules. This viewpoint is shared by many linguists as well.

@@pandaren_brewmaster I do not agree at all :))) Mathemarically structured? Even one of the most :))) First off, it doesn’t have to be. Then, it possesses some otherwise beauties like multi-semantic/poetic plasticity which mathematically constructed languages cannot offer as much. Besides, nobody ever sat down and structured this language. It reflects a full image of the native speakers; diverse, alive, ever-changing and very very very flexible. Mathematizing the Turkish language is like trying to weigh the wind.

@@Jazzgin Your feelings are not facts. You are not smart enough to notice that. Smiling won't change that. You are talking about things that you don't know. This is just sad. Stupidity of ignorant people never cease to amaze me. I add you to my dumb list.

My friends who used to be university students attending Turkish universities learned Turkish at an amazing pace. They spent a lot of time with us and they learnt by practising.

Thanks!

Thanks! I try to stick to language-related promotions as much as possible, and only promote things that I'm confident in. I turn down most offers.

Turkish is hard for those who don't have an agglutinative language as their mother tongue. So there's no use associating it to the egos of theirs. Turkish is difficult, real difficult.

@@zhuangchuang31 Of course, the degree of difficulty of other languages ​​varies according to the native language of the people, but this does not change the fact that, as I mentioned in the comment, Turkish is a very regular language, and therefore it is easier to learn than languages ​​with plenty of exceptions.

@@aaniludouz Then it's okay if you're basing your opinion upon the multitude of people who speak Turkish. But both in grammar and pronounciation, especially europian people are most likely to have a metric ton of difficulties, spesifically in pronouncing the wovels.
