Hi,
Ok, I have a question. Ive just started learning turkish and im a bit confused over the pronunciation of something.
I know that thank you is tesekkurler (or tesekkur ederim) but how do you pronounce the -ler part of tesekkurler. I've heard it pronounced exactly as it is written but ive noticed my turkish teacher says tesekkur-lache.
What is the most correct pronunciation? She also says "lache" for other words that end in -ler ( i cant remember any now though...) |

Dear CY...Turkish is a phonetic language.Every letter is always pronounced as it is written.So once you learn how each letter is pronounced you can read whatever you like in Turkish.
Now "ler" : The "l" is pronounced as in level; and "er" is pronounced as in folder.Simple isn't it?
ler is never prounounced as lache,are you sure your teacher can speak Turkish???Cheers. :) |

| Then perhaps she has a speech impediment.Some people can pronounce the "r" sound only as "aghe" ... |

is the word / phrase "akki petti" turkish ?
i ve heard it from Greek Cypriots from morfou and famagusta, and i was wondering where it originates from. for sure it is not greek. |

Cypez...That sounds like the Turkish word (from Arabic origin) akibet
meaning "the fate" or "the end" of someone or something.
Does that make sense? |
