Lesson Transcript

Hi, everybody! This is Selin from TurkishClass101.com.
Do you know how to say “thank you” in Turkish? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond.
Let’s start with the formal way to say "Thank you."
Teşekkür ederim.
[slowly] Teşekkür ederim.
It means “thank you" or literally "I give my thanks."
If you want to show your sincere appreciation for something, say this phrase.
Çok teşekkür ederim.
[slowly] Çok teşekkür ederim
The word çok means "very." So this expression means "Thank you very much."
It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness.
When you want to appreciate someone in a more casual way, you can use this expression.
Teşekkürler.
[slowly] Teşekkürler.
When you want to thank your friends, use this expression.
Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Turkish! But how do you respond if someone thanks you?
If someone says "thank you" in Turkish, simply say Bir şey değil. It means "You're welcome."
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me.
