the speaking part is not working
Magi
yes, the speaking part has not been working for a few lessons, thought it was me...?
Magi
M.Talha - a noobie is what we call someone who is new (noo) to something...ha!
Justin
Yes! Very sorry everyone - we have consistently had problems with a bunch of our speaking parts. It looks like we're going to need to re-upload many of them. We're really sorry about that. It should be fixed soon.
@M Talha - for now, go to the "Lessons" link at the top and start checking out the Noobie lessons. Next week, we're going to be putting up a recommended order for all our lessons (ha, this wasn't a problem before we didn't have so many).
Sorry for the trouble everyone. We're working on it!

Thanks, thanks ...
Your lessons and explainations are great und the costs for a membership less. If I would take lessons at an eveningschool I would have to pay more for each lesson in Germany. Your lessons are waiting for me all the day ...
There is a little thing about the word "resim" ...- if you form
resim+im+i , than one of the "i" got lost: resmimi.
Question: is this a regular form? It seems to be better to speak.

Çok teşekkür ederiz, Eva!
Good catch! There are a handful of words that act like this in Turkish and, guess what? We have a lesson on it!

Merhabalar!
This page is the most fun, most motivating, most informative source ever for those who venture to learn Turkish :) Çok çok teşekkür ederim.
I have just come across a phenomenon while listening to the speaking exercise of this lesson and I can't figure out the whys and wherefores of it. It is about the verb UYUMAK.
When we put it into the -ir type present tense, it says it has to be (or I understand it like that) "UYAR". Then, when we have to make a formal request, it turns into "UYUR MUSUN?"
Shouldn't it be UYUR in the -ir type present tense, too? Or maybe I have just misheard the "U" and took it for an "A".
Yardımınız için şimdiden çok teşekkür ederim.

Merhaba Lilla! Çok teşekkür ederiz :)
"Uyur" is definitely always the correct simple present form. (-r goes directly onto stems that end in a vowel). There is no verb form for "uyumak" that looks like "uyar" - so don't worry :)

WOW! That's what I call fast feedback! Thank you so much for your explanation. Artık rahatça uyuyabilirim :D

Hi there, I'm really enjoying working through your lessons. I listen to your podcasts on the way to work each day - good learning and good fun. One suggestion though, a webcasting option would be awesome. Useful for things like pronunciation and how you form your mouth with certain sounds, etc. and would also complete the 'Turkish tea' experience.
Anyway, thanks for some really useful and fun material.

Merhaba Turkish Tea Time
Just wanted to say, I have been struggling with other websites that use dialogs that I know people do not use, because I never hear them In London and there is a very large Turkish population in my neighbourhood. I hear lots of Turkish everyday.
After a few days here I am hearing Turks use your phrases and now I can get more of the gist of their exchanges than I could before joining here.
Your review for this lesson says I can say Sağ Olun to a waiter, but all the teachings I have come across say Sag ölun is to thank someone for a special service beyond their normal duty, "not to use it for a waiter just doing his job".
I overheard Sag Ol being used in this special thank you way, at my local shop that is Turkish owned. The shopkeeper had obviously gotten something special for a Turkish customer, and the customer towards the end of exchange said Sağol çok Şağol then finished with 2 words I did not understand.
Which is correct to say Sağ olun is it for a special service or just another way of saying thank you ?.

Yes, I've heard this, too. While there's probably something behind it, my experience is that sağ ol is used colloquially to say "thank you" all the time under no special circumstances.
To make sure I'm not crazy, I ran it by Büşra who had this to say:
"You can say sağol to anyone, to waiters, to shopkeepers, anyone. (You would use the polite version to the people you don't know, like waiters, of course.) This is not a special way to thank someone."

çok teşekkür ederim.
That means there are hundreds of incorrect websites and bad grammar books out there causing confusion.

Hi Justin, your website is great - thank you. Just one question: ne demek means both 'what's it mean' and 'it's nothing'? how come?
Justin
Çok teşekkür ederiz :)
It's a colloquialism - so it's hard to say exactly "why" it's taken a dual meaning. But I don't think it's too much of a stretch. We're saying, "Why are you thanking me? It's really nothing. What does thanking me even mean in this situation?"
