Turkish Alphabet

Spend a little time with the Turkish Alphabet.

Not too many changes some additions, some deletions and changes to their sounds.

It is for you to choose if you would like to study this before you move on, or if you would prefer to learn with each new word you see.

 

Words and Phrases.

Throughout each chapter you will be introduced to new words and phrases.  Instead of supplying you a whole page of words to study, we will introduce them each day and keep them in an order that you will require them.

 

Introducing the word değil

You will use this word when you wish to make a simple statement negative.  Place this word after a noun or adjective that you would like to become negative.

example

ekmek değil            It's not bread

hava soğuk değil     the weather isn't cold

Now we will deal with how you can use this word at the end of a statement to ask isn't it? or aren't they?

To change any statement to ask isn't it or aren't they? you use  değil mi?

example

Bu Salam güzel, değil mi?     

This Salami is nice, isn't it?

or

İngilizler, değil mi?                

They're English, aren't they?
