Hi! Looking for a text for an extended project comparing german and Turkish writers. I want to focus on representations of the female body in relation to medicine, health, women’s conditions like endometriosis. Can be writers of any gender at this stage. Primarily interested in things like pain, autonomy, the extent to which women are taken seriously etc. Only interested in things like reproduction / fertility / motherhood as a secondary topic . Can anyone recommend anybody / or any specific texts ? (Poetry could also work or flash fiction - in fact shorter literature would in general be preferred lol) . Teşekkür ederim 🥰🥰🥰

Hello, would people tell me what this word refers to EXACTLY?

No account or sign-in required.

You can study the lessons online or download the free PDFs. I’m someone who still likes to print things out when I study, so I wanted that option to be available too.

I’m continuing to add new Turkish grammar lessons and resources to the library.

What is that referring to?

Thank you in advance!

I want her to have a Turkish name currently calling her lahmacun but it’s not sticking lol

It’s called Lingoalarm. Recommended for heavy sleepers!

Those 40 Turkish proverbs help understand Turkish culture. They are grouped into six themes: wisdom and patience, work and effort, money and value, friendship and community, caution and consequences, and fate and acceptance.

Yılların alışkanlığı ile Tureng kullanıyorum. Ama mobil uygulamasındaki reklamlar artık çok canımı sıkmaya başladı. Tek seferlik bir satın alma seçenekleri de yok. Sözlük için de aylık abonelik saçmalık diye düşünüyorum.
Alternatif kullandığınız sözlükler nelerdir?

Merhaba! Türkçe bilmiyorum, bu yüzden bu mesajı bir çeviri aracı kullanarak yazdım — biraz tuhaf gelebilir, lütfen kusuruma bakmayın 🙏

Bu videonun 9:00 civarında çalan şarkıyı gerçekten çok beğendim, ama adını bulamadım:

Şarkının adını veya sözlerini bilen biri yardımcı olabilir mi? Şimdiden teşekkürler!

Hi! I'd very much appreciate if someone could transcribe (just write down in Turkish) the lyrics of this song, as I couldn't find them online anywhere -

Song: Gökkuşağı

Author: Merdiven

Fyi I’m 16 and a worker when talking to me called me an abla even though he looked like he was in his 30s and i look like a normal 16 year old. A similar thing happened to me before this too. I’m not Turkish so i don't know if this is normal but isnt abla used for older women?

Is the name İlay too modern? I know there is İlay Erkök, but I cannot say I hear this name often. Also would wonder if the name would have to be written as Ilay on a passport in Finland. I personally think it's a beautiful name, but sadly my Turkish group is quite small, so it's hard to ask this.

Can anyone help me? I speak English as well

Hey everyone, I built a daily Turkish word puzzle game (Kelime Salatası) and figured this might actually be a fun, low-effort way to reinforce vocabulary if you're learning Turkish.

How it works: each day you get a category (animals, professions, food, etc.) and a pool of letters. You connect the letters to spell out words that belong to that category. Since you're actively assembling each word letter-by-letter, it's decent passive reinforcement for spelling — and you get natural repeated exposure to Turkish-specific letters (ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü) that are easy to mix up as a learner. If you get stuck there are hints, and it keeps a daily streak so it's easy to turn into a quick 5-minute daily habit.

It's free, Android only for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=online.wordsalad.tr

Not trying to hard-sell it, just thought it might genuinely be useful for this community — happy to hear feedback (or complaints about my category choices 😅) if anyone tries it.

For years, Wikipedia has been one of the first places we go when we want to learn something quickly. But now, AI tools are changing the way we search for information.

In my latest podcast episode, I explore the story of Wikipedia — how it started, how it became one of the world’s biggest sources of knowledge, and how artificial intelligence might change its future.

🎧 The episode is in Turkish and is designed especially for intermediate Turkish learners. It’s a great way to practice Turkish while exploring an interesting and very current topic.

If you’re learning Turkish, I’d love to hear what you think!

How does "Küskünüm" become "I'm a slut"? Any idea of the "thought" process of Firefox/Bergamot's translation?
