| POST |
| John: Listen again to Barış's post. |
| Selin: Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır. |
| John: "Look what I found in the bazaar - a leaf rolling machine! You put vine leaves and rice and your sarma is ready in a second." |
| Selin: (SLOW) Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır. (Regular) Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Look what I found in the bazaar - a leaf rolling machine!" |
| Selin: Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! |
| John: Bazaars are very important in Turkey. Every neighborhood has a bazaar once a week. You can find the freshest fruits and vegetables for the lowest prices. Some housewives in poorer families buy a week's worth of fruits and vegetables. You can also find cheap clothes, accessories, and house gadgets. Listen again - "Look what I found in the bazaar - a leaf rolling machine!" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! (REGULAR) Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! |
| John: Then comes the phrase "You put vine leaves and rice and your sarma is ready in a second." |
| Selin: Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır |
| John: Sarma, which is rice stuffed in a vine leaf roll, is one of the most popular, but time-consuming, dishes in Turkish cuisine. Vine leaf rolling gadgets, which work in the same way as cigarette rolling gadgets, used to be a big hit in the bazaars. Listen again - "You put vine leaves and rice and your sarma is ready in a second" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır (REGULAR) Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır |
| John: All together, it's "Look what I found in the bazaar - a leaf rolling machine! You put vine leaves and rice and your sarma is ready in a second." |
| Selin: Bakın pazarda ne buldum - yaprak sarma makinesi! Asma yaprağı ve pirinci koyuyorsunuz, bir saniyede sarmanız hazır. |
