| Gina: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Are you hungry? In Turkish this is |
| Ece: Aç mısın? |
| The first word in the question is |
| Ece: Aç |
| Gina: meaning hungry in English. |
| Ece: (Slow, by syllable) Aç |
| Gina: Listen again and repeat. |
| Ece: Aç |
| {Pause} |
| Gina: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Ece: mısın |
| Gina: meaning are you. |
| Ece: (Slow, by syllable) mısın |
| Gina: Now repeat. |
| Ece: mısın |
| {Pause} |
| Gina: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Ece: Aç mısın |
| {pause} |
| Gina: Master the following pattern and responses to the question Are you hungry?? |
| Ece: Evet biraz açım. |
| Gina: ""Yes, I'm a little hungry.. Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Ece: (Slow) Evet biraz açım. |
| {pause} |
| Gina: To say ""no"", in a simple way, just say: |
| Ece: Hayır, değilim. |
| Gina: Which is like saying No, I’m not. in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Ece: (Slowly) Hayır, değilim. |
| Gina: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Ece: Hayır, değilim. |
| Gina: Now let's break down the original response from the beginning. The first word: |
| Ece: evet |
| Gina: means yes. |
| Ece: (Slow, by syllable) evet |
| Gina: Now repeat |
| Ece: evet |
| {Pause} |
| Gina: And after that |
| Ece: biraz |
| Gina: meaning a little. |
| Ece: (Slow, by syllable) biraz |
| Gina: Now repeat. |
| Ece: biraz |
| {Pause} |
| Gina: Next is |
| Ece: açım |
| Gina: meaning I am hungry.. |
| Ece: (Slow, by syllable) açım |
| Gina: Now repeat. |
| Ece: açım |
| {Pause} |
| Gina: Listen to the speaker say, Yes, I'm a little hungry., and then repeat. |
| Ece: Evet biraz açım. |
| {pause} |
| Gina: To use a different phrase, replace a little with very . |
| Ece: çok |
| Gina: very |
| Ece: (slow) çok (regular) çok |
| Gina: Listen to the phrase again, this time with very |
| Ece: Evet çok açım. |
| Gina: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace a little. Say Yes, I'm very hungry. |
| {pause} |
| Ece: Evet çok açım. |
| Gina: To use a different phrase, replace very with extremely. |
| Ece: aşırı |
| Gina: extremely |
| Ece: (slow) aşırı (regular) aşırı |
| Gina: Listen to the phrase again, this time with extremely |
| Ece: Evet aşırı açım. |
| Gina: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for very . Say Yes, I'm extremely hungry. |
| {pause} |
| Ece: Evet aşırı açım. |
| Gina: To expand on the pattern, replace extremely hungry with hungry since I didn't eat breakfast. |
| Ece: kahvaltı etmediğimden dolayı |
| Gina: hungry since I didn't eat breakfast |
| Ece: (slow) kahvaltı etmediğimden dolayı (regular) kahvaltı etmediğimden dolayı |
