| 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 |
