| POST |
| John: Listen again to Barış's post. |
| Selin: Bu grup bir harika! |
| John: "This band is a wonder!" |
| Selin: (SLOW) Bu grup bir harika! (Regular) Bu grup bir harika! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "this band." |
| Selin: Bu grup |
| John: There are six demonstratives in Turkish... |
| Selin: Bu=This, Şu=That (nearby), O=That (over there), Bunlar=These, Şunlar=Those (nearby) and Onlar=Those (over there) |
| John: Listen again - "This band" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) Bu grup (REGULAR) Bu grup |
| John: Then comes the phrase "is a wonder." |
| Selin: bir harika. Even though harika is usually used as an adjective, it can also be a noun. Saying bir harika instead of harika adds a touch of humor to the meaning. |
| John: Listen again, "is a wonder" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) bir harika (REGULAR) bir harika |
| John: All together, it's "This band is a wonder!" |
| Selin: Bu grup bir harika! |
