Lesson Transcript

Hi everybody! Merhaba! Ben Seda Sürel.
My name is Seda Sürel
and welcome back to Turkish Whiteboard Lessons.
Okay
today we have a very fun topic.
We will talk about essential
social expressions in Turkish.
I got ready.
Let's get started.
First, let's see saying excuse me in Turkish and let's look at the vocabulary.
You can say
affedersin
or
affedersiniz
and the only difference between them one is informal
affedersin excuse me
and the other is formal affedersiniz excuse me
again the only difference is the formality
okay
let's see the next one responding
yes
Efendim
yes
efendim yes
that's it efendim and efendim literally means my master
I know it sounds too much to your ears when you translate
but we the Turkish speaking people
we don't hear like we are saying oh my master
we just say efendim and we use this phrase
when we answer the phone as well you say efendim
or
when we open the door we say efendim
it means like
yeah
move on say it do it okay
efendim
and let's see the next one saying thank you okay thank you
you can say ""sağ ol"" this is the easiest shortest one
sağ ol
okay
and there is this soft g in the middle
if you are having a hard time with it
you just think is as a continuous wow sound
sağ ol
okay
it means thanks
or
you can say
teşekkürler
thank you
okay
and let's see the next one saying you're welcome
okay you're welcome
Bir sey değil
or if I say it really fast
like I speak in you know my daily life
Bir sey değil
okay
Bir sey değil
we generally
don't say the r at the end that's a trick for me okay
Bir sey değil
literally it means it's nothing don't worry about it
okay
and
Rica ederim
you're welcome
Rica ederim
like no problem
you're welcome
okay
saying sorry
you can say pardon this is universal if you can't remember
just say pardon
say, I'm sorry
or
more Turkish
kusura bakma
like I'm sorry but it literally means like I'm sorry about that okay
you know please please please let me be sorry about that
it's something like that
or you can say
uzgunum
it's also meaning I'm sorry but it can also mean
the literal meaning is I'm sad
I'm sad like I'm I'm really sad that I did this so please forgive me
I'm sorry okay
uzgunum
kusura bakma
pardon
one of those
okay last but not least saying
it's no problem
okay
you can say
önemli değil
don't mention it
or you can say
sorun değil
it's no problem
and
önemli değil
when you literally translated it's like it's not important okay
önemli değil
importance or it's not important
sorun değil it's not a problem
so these are vocabulary I hope you enjoyed it
okay let's see our dialogue
Affedersiniz
excuse me
and the other person like
efendim
like yes
Affedersiniz
efendim
okay Affedersiniz
and
you turn your back somebody's saying like
poking you like Affedersiniz and you turn back and you say
efendim
what do you want to say yes
okay
and let's check out more examples okay
let's think I'm walking
and I dropped something I dropped my marker like
let's drop it
and somebody poked me again
I don't know why people are poking me but like
they poke me and they give me my marker and I say
Ah! teşekkürler
