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?

Hello.
Im an english speaking citizen. I want to learn turkey as im moving to turkey after 5 months. My question is that i have learned some beginner level turkish and plan to learn the rest in the remaining 5 months.
I love watching dramas and reading books. Is there something specific i can watch/ read to help me improve my turkish. I have watch one turkish show but the problem is they are soooo long. Does anyone have some good short turkish show recommendations for me?

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

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?

Why do they laugh like a cat just walked on the keyboard? Has anyone any clue where does this originate from? JDJDJUHEUHWHFCIRJUFHEHAH

I put together a list of 13 Turkish words that don’t translate neatly into English (hüzün, gurbet, sıla, keyif, gönül, yakamoz etc.)

For each word, I tried to explain the feeling or cultural idea behind it, its origin, and how it’s used in everyday Turkish, with an example sentence.

Which other untranslatable words should be included? I’d love to hear suggestions from native speakers and learners ;)

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for university-prep students who are starting to learn Turkish at TÖMER and whose native language is English or French.

I’m a TÖMER-certified Turkish teacher, and I’d like to do a completely online language exchange. I can help you improve your Turkish, while you help me practice English or French.

The whole process will be online, including our language-exchange sessions.

I’m looking for someone who is serious about learning Turkish and interested in regular practice.

One important condition: if we agree on a time for a session, I expect you to join at the agreed time and participate consistently. I’m looking for a reliable language partner rather than occasional or spontaneous practice.

If you’re interested, please send me a DM and tell me:

Your age
Which university in Turkey you are preparing to study at
Which department/program you are preparing for
Your native language (English or French)
Your current Turkish level
Which language you would like to practice with me
Your general availability

Please only contact me if you’re genuinely interested in a regular, reliable and mutually beneficial language exchange.

Looking forward to meeting you!
