Would you be willing to put the answers to the review somewhere? I couldn't get one answer right, but couldn't figure out why. Thanks!

Yes! We're adding that feature this week.

Awesome. I realized I wrote gece instead of geçe so was able to get them all right after all. Thanks!

45 minutes till 7 - really ? ;)

:D

'burası' is being used here with the possesive suffix 'sı'.
I have seen it more often in Turkish.
But why is it not 'burada'?
Because it means 'here' indicating location.
Does someone knows the rule?
Thanks!

Why is dördü with gece and dörde with kala?
Biri ikiyi, ücü you have given examples of to go with geçe so would it be beşi and altiyi? e.g. saat beşi on geçe?

Justin
The geçe construction forces the accusative, while kala forces the dative - so dördü is the accusative form while dörde is the dative form of dört. It's not too hard to remember since you are passing (geçe) something (direct object, accusative); and kala implies time *to* the hour.
And yes, you are correct :)

Feels like a dumb question, but how do you form the accusative and dative forms of all the numbers?
Öğrenci
Especially for 10. Would they be onu (acc.) and ona (dative)? In which case it sounds like 'him/her/it' and 'to him/her/it', in which case, we rely on good old context again?
Thanks
Thanks
Justin
Not a dumb question - I admit, it looks strange putting those suffixes on numbers. The teacher part of me is telling me that I shouldn't just tell you, though ;-)
How about this? You try to write them all out here and I'll double check to make sure you've done it correctly.
(And your point about 10 is correct.)

Dişçi is not actually a word Turkish dentists like much to be called ... diş hekimi is better. Dişçi is OK to be used colloquially but I wouldn't use it even when making an appointment.
Justin
Merhaba Milla - you're absolutely right. We should have used diş hekimi. We did this one awhile ago, but I think we probably opted for dişçi to show that -çi suffix in a beginner lesson.

Hi Justin - oh dear, the video has disappeared! :o

Maalesef ya video ya fun yok :/

There is a contradiction with the "practice this language point" section. In it, I said "onu on beş geçe" instead of using çeyrek and my answer was considered wrong. Here, in the review, I'm supposed to accept it as a correct answer...
