Asking time in Turkish

Well, when you directly translate Turkish expressions into English, it looks like something stupid. It is because we think in a different way. We don't ask "what time is it", we ask "how many is the hour" originally.

In Turkish, most of the names have more than 1 meanings. For example saat means every kind of clock and hour.

This subject is related with numbers.

-Saat kaç? (What time is it?)
-Saat beş. (It is 5)

-Saat kaç?
-Saat dört buçuk. (4.30)

-Saat kaç?
-Saat beş on beş. (5.15)

-Saat kaç?
-Saat altı on. (6.10)

How old are you?

Note: This subject is related with numbers.

-Kaç yaşındasın? (Original: how many age you are at - means: how old are you)
-On iki yaşındayım. Sen kaç yaşındasın? (I am 12 years old. How old are you?)
-Ben seksen sekiz yaşındayım. (I am 88 years old.)

-Kaç yaşındasın? On sekiz mi? (How old are you? 18?)
-Hayır! Yukarı. (No! Up.)
-Yirmi beş? (25?)
-Hayır, aşağı. (No, down.)
-Yirmi bir? (21?)

Where to start learning Turkish?

I suggest you to start with simple conversations. Greetings, asking directions, introducing yourself. After that you can start learning verbs with present continuous tense.

To establish what you learnt, try to speak with them. A good way to use what you learnt is keeping a diary.

When you finish present continuous tense, next will be present tense.  When you learn this part, you can start listening to Turkish songs, because they are mostly written in that tense.

Your next target should be learning past tense. You can improve your diary with this part :)

Finally you can learn future tense. And that's all. There is no perfect tense in Turkish. There are some other tenses, but you can communicate without them. But we will still explain them in our lessons.

Why Learning Turkish?

Learning Turkish is very easy. Turkish children are usually able to talk like a normal person when they are 7 months old.

Turkish grammar is easier than any other language. There is no feminin, masculin nouns, there is no articles.

It is the 5. most popular language in the world after Chinese, English, Spanish and Hindu.

You can always find someone speaking Turkish in every country. No exeption.

Turkey is a major power in the Middle East with a population of more than 72 million. You can find many career opportunities and adventures in Turkey.
