Hi, I want to ask you about Turk language. Do you know any good website to learn Turk language? As you know there is Turkish language which is spoken in Turkei and Azerbaijan but there is also the Turk language which is spoken in many central asian countries like Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kirgizhistan, Uzbekistan and also in East Turkistan, which is the north west part of china. I learn that Turk language is spoken by more than 150 millions people. Thanks.

[turtleturbo1025]

[jlyization]

i love dis song so does the video

thank you its very helpful! =)

[kupa2612]

For me Turkish language sounds like German with French, haha. I don't know why :O

[AltaicSupremacy]

Grammar sounds just like Mongolian and the suffixes are spot on. I feel like this will give me a leg-up on learning Turkish as opposed to the average North American. But how well does Turkish serve in Central Asian countries, where I am more closely related to them ethnically?

[whenpianostrytobe]

Şu müziği duyup Türkçe öğrenmeye devam eden insan olacağını sanmıyorum.

[egylink2009]

so great

I would like to learn Turkish too

[WhiteOrchidLove]

No gender words. So when they're fillings in a forum which box do this tick? Hermaphrodite ?

[AnonymousCthulhu]

@WhiteOrchidLove There is a difference between grammatical and biological gender.

[Emox991]

I want to learn Turkish language

[mustilo27]

je peu vous apprendre le turc si y a des interesés :-)) mais je cherche aussi qqun qui peu m apprendre l espagnol

[morelifeful]

@mustilo27 slt je suis interéssé.si votre offre est toujour valable je vous pris de me repondre pour qu'on gardre contact .mais je connais pas l'espagnol en revanche je pourais vous apprendre l'arabe

[iUDods]

So Turkish is similar to hungarian?

[paralyzer1111]

@iUDods OMG I realized that these rules are the same in hungarian!! O_O so weird

[thenewwws]

@paralyzer1111 because hungrian is a uraic altaic language and turkish too

[paralyzer1111]

@thenewwws yes thanks, I did some reading hungarian and turkish are similar

[TJRHINO29]

@iUDods NOT AT ALL

[PringleTrain]

deneyin ve bana cevap bu dilde, Eğer Arapça biliyor musunuz?

[HenriTheHammer]

Hmm this is interesting. We have all the same things in finnish; there is no gender, tons of suffixes and vowel harmony. The only thing that is different is the word order. But actually finnish word order is more or less free. For example, you can say "Menen kauppaan kaverini kanssa" and "Kaverini kanssa kauppaan menen" both of which are grammatically correct and mean the exact same thing (I am going to the shop with my friend.) Interesting stuff, plus I like the sound of turkish. Nice vid.

[CroGirlZg]

wow, croatian and turkish have really nothing in common, learning turkish will be a challenge, but i'll give it a shot :D

[7thPlace]

lil bit similar to arabic almost.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

@7thPlace Turkish is an altaic language, so it is related to Korean and Mongolian, but it has influences from Greek, Arabic, and Persian and definitely a lot of Arabic.

[7thPlace]

@QUINTUSMAXIMUS aaa thanx for telling me, I never kenw that :D

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

@7thPlace Yes, Turkish is also very closely related to the Uzbek language which used to be part of the Soviet Union. The Uighurs in Western China trying to break away from China are distantly related as well and are racially mixed. I am learning some Turkish. It's coming along at spurts.

[sazji]

The "no gender" aspect is great, you can have a long conversation about someone without letting on whether it's a man or woman. In English it would be really obvious that you're trying to hide something since it's pretty hard to talk without using "he" or "she."

[herrrmosa1]

what is the song from background?

[As4464]

sigara icmek oldurur..

haha..

whatever..

[romalondra]

well the song is just eavenly .... i HOPE to learn for the kultur !!!

[NexKalo123456789]

[Cilekeash09]

the singer is: Eylem

the name of the song is: aman

[kibumlover1997]

ayyyy bu sarkinin isimi nedir? lutfen soyle *dans ediyo*

[Cilekeash09]

eylem soyluyo bu sarkiyi, ve adi'da aman

[Turkomania2023]

[ChristianGastl]

[antianymore]

[kamigua]

I want to learn turkish,, If you can teach me turkish I can teach you spañish,, of course If you like it...

Sağol Karla :)

[thenewwws]

@ChristianGastl yes verb usually at the end rulely but not always in poem sometimes verb come at the head or mid but &70-&80 at the end

[itsnigora]

Turkish and Uzbek is similar, so it shouldn't be too hard for me to learn Turkish!!! (Hopefully)

[HerrenbachStyle]

yeah my Uzbek brother i wanna learn Uzbekish can you teach me? so maybe i can teach you turkish^^

[itsnigora]

@HerrenbachStyle. I am not a brother! NIgora is a woman's name! Any name ending with "a" is usually given to girls! Nigora, Feruza, Nargiza and if you take the "a" away it becomes a man's name! ...Anyways, I can teach you Uzbek! ; )

[kallemick]

what song is this?

[Monitorimatti]

the song is Eylem - Aman :)

[kallemick]

thanks the turkish music is amazing

[bahxing]

What's the title of the background song?

[sayonariii]

ur right Altaic family

[tubameister]

ALTAIC comes from Altay mountains in Asia.

[eLeEnAAtH]

woow, i'll never manage to speak that :O:P

[thatwhichisrusty]

Random question...who is the music from? Sounds like Grup Hepsi.

Helpful video :) Will totally check out the rest of the site. Hepsi got me on Turkish, now I just need to learn the language. :)

[attacking911]

hi im from dubai and i speak arabic and english quite falwlessly...i'd like to learn turkish (i visited istanbul this year and fell in love with the country and its ppl) can any1 direct me to a website or a vid where i can begin learning step by step... thanks alot

[BigMTBrain]

Livemocha dot c o m - It's a great lively language learning community. Trust me, you will be in language learning heaven.

[sadiqa07]

i am turkish , but i was born in england and have bean living hear ever since , and belevve me if you can learn english you can learn turkish in a snap!

[Emperatorccs]

I am Venezuelan, I learned english, now I am learning turkish in Caracas. I like this language more and more.

I am looking for another technique to make easier the learning process.

[ihtiyargenc0]

no, no, no... i am not against loan words in turkish. i just hate arab wannabes in turkey.

[loki2504]

Yeah I knew that turkish unlike arabic but the grammar is very similar to chinese I think, that's what somebody told me. Is it true? Why is it so closed to extreme orient languages?

[bahxing]

My major is Chinese. Turkish grammar is opposite of Chinese. Chinese and English have similar structures.

[shadow76432]

wow get out communist!

[itsnigora]

@shadow76432. Who is a communist? You?

[loki2504]

the sentence order is the same as in japanese ! what a surprise !

[yediat]

Well it shouldn't be much of a surprise since they both belong to Altaic family of languages. (This is disputed by some who believe Japanese is a language isolate, there is a good article about it on wikipedia.)

People always perceive Turkish as Middle Eastern, close to Arabian / Persian but in reality it is a Central Asian language, originating from somewhere around modern day Mongolia.

[shimirai21]

cool music ^^

[ihtiyargenc0]

turkish finally gets rid off arabic words that taken in the ottoman time. long live turkish revolution.

arabic words in turkish in 1923 %55

arabic words in turkish in 2009 %5

[ammocolonia]

lol... let's take some common sense and recognize we all come from a small family. what's turkey except a mix of byzantine white christians, mongoloid nomad barbarians, and raiding arabs and kurds. how the hell do you turn that into one clean fucking "turkey"? may i kindly say fuck the nationalism, whatever it is, and i say that as a muslim and someone who loves where he came from, and who loves everywhere he lived as well, muslim lands or not.

[ammocolonia]

it's all about exchanging and growing together in one good world. so shut that fucking nationalism up, stick your fucking ataturk demon's head on a pike, i'll do the same to any intoxicated arabiac fundy, and let's all wake up to a more beautiful world.

now be quiet and let me learn some more of my fiancee's language.

peace.

[ayseculina]

I`m afraid of your words intensity, you wrote love but I can smell your hate and at the end you wrote peace, this must be irony ha?

[ammocolonia]

Don't be afraid, Ayse. It's not hate, just anger at those who hate and think they're better just based on superficial things.

"turkish finally gets rid of arabic words" and "long live turkish revolution" is something to be afraid of.

Uncritically worshipping Stalin 50 years ago is bad; uncritically worshipping Ataturk today is a disgusting joke.

Long live truth and global respect.

[flyJBmaverick]

wow u really ignorant ,,whts wrong with arabic

[ihtiyargenc0]

the turkish language took lots of arabic french words in the ottoman time. we finally do some good things. 0_0

[ammocolonia]

So what if the Turkish language took some outside words? Traditional Arabic has foreign words, French has Turkish and Arabic words, Bosnian is a big mix of vocabulary while having its own grammar structure. Turkish didn't come in one big package, it's an evolution... and with more migration and globalization it's only going to get more diverse... deal with it.

[bahxing]

I agree with your comments.

[bahxing]

Ataturk did the right thing when he cleaned the language. Now Turkish has less and less loanwords from Persian and Arabic.

[Ba3diNouri]

I speak 3 languages, from them the closest to turkish I would say arabic. the structure and also some vocabulary are the same! for ex, Merhaba is also in arabic, they say Marhaba instead. just the letter difference. I thank you for the video it's great. I hope I can become a better turkish speaker soon. It ain't easy, but I'll try:)

[thraciensis]

My friend. BadiNuri you are absolutely & categorically WRONG!!!!!!. The relatives of turkish are Chuvash, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz, etc. , the distant relatives are Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, etc. Turkish is an alien language to arabic. There are numerous arabic words in English, like alchohol, alchemy, salavat, etc. Due to islam ,

[bahxing]

I do agree with your comments.

[thraciensis]

Albanian & Bosnian has many Arabic words as well, but they are alien languages to Arabic. Is it clear for you? Grammar & structure of Turkish, Albanian, Bosnian, English, etc are extremely different than Arabic

[bahxing]

For your attention, my friend, Turkish and Arabic do not have similar structures. You will notice it immediately when you learn the language.

[ikicihan]

simplification resulted less vocabulary and degeneration in turkish. i dont support it.

[thenewwws]

@Ba3diNouri because merhaba came turkish from arabian marhaban

[prostayadevchenka]

wow, it seems so easy

[Suzann5]

Hey, does someone know the title of this song????

[MUZIKfactory]

Susann5, the song is by Eylem, titled "Aman"

watch?v=eSU-HzK_Fa8&feature=re­lated

[jecca3]

congratulations, this video is great

[bawad]

I'm learning Japanese and it has the same word order, SOV. I also know Arabic but it has a different word order; Subject-Verb-Object and Verb-Subject-Object. But Arabic and Turkish share alot of vocab.

[Platschu]

I like the Turkish language, because it is a bit similar to Hungarian. They are really hard, but not unlearnable at all. :D

[kaneqeqeq1]

the word order of turkish is also a bit similiar to ancient chinese(modern chinese is modified by the west indirectly)

,and also arabic because turkish,hungarian ,chinese or arabic ,all belong to Oriental language and culture

[kaneqeqeq1]

Thats why I personally think its not difficult for me to learn as I can from far east places

[yediat]

Karneqeqeq1, they may be culturally similar (Islam & Middle East) but languages are totally unrelated m8. Turkish has a lot of loan words from Arabic & Persian but it isn't not a Semitic or Indo Europian language. It is in the Altaic group. And although there may be "oriental culture" there isn't such a thing as Oriental language.

[bahxing]

Turkish is more similar to Uzbek:) We understand Turks from Turkey. We are Turks too.

[yediat]

Yes they are similar ofc, since they are languages belonging to same family. I used to hang around an Uzbek forum site (forum.arbuz), It was difficult at the beginning but I was able to understand a lot of it after some time.

[hellokitty72410]

@bahxing ben de turkkum

[sweetmiracle12]

@bahxing Do you know any website to learn turkish on line, because is very difficult to find books (kitaplar) or dictionaries in my country. Would you please help me to learn ?

[muofj096ceolp4]

@sweetmiracle12 you can practise with someone else online because there is no website that teaches Turkish.

[mreuphrates]

@bahxing biz gardashikh

[zurnik]

Some linguistics claim that Turkish, Japanese and Korean belong to the same language family. Turkish people originally come from Central Asia and their language are in Ural/Altaic language family. That's why Japanese is close to Turkish.

[thraciensis]

You are right Hungarian & Turkish have astonishing similarity, both grammer & sharing very ancient vocabulary

[nayser3625]

this song is diffucult for you. :) You can listen to easy music. ya bu sarkiyla nasil turkce ogrenirlerki akil yani :)

[takato020]

its hard but i am not going to give up so i wont be screwd in turkey this summer

[MarkyP1984]

[yediat]

Dude, ofc it is exactly like Kazakh, since both belong to the Turkic subbranch of Altaic language family. Kazakh is like %20 or so tangible to Turkish speakers.

[Drowningdreamx]

[gul22and]

[2dazlious]
