| Hi everybody, my name is Seda Surel. |
| and Welcome to another Whiteboard Turkish Video Series. |
| In this lesson, we will learn about days of the week in Turkish. |
| Monday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday. |
| Okay, let's get started. |
| Okay |
| first |
| let's learn about the vocabulary, the most important thing. |
| Pazartesi |
| Sali |
| Çarşamba |
| Perşembe |
| cuma |
| Cumartesi |
| Bugün çarşambaPazar |
| Let's say it quickly. |
| Pazartesi |
| Sali |
| Çarşamba |
| Perşembe |
| cuma |
| Cumartesi |
| Pazar |
| Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday |
| In Turkish, we start counting the days |
| with Pazartesi, Monday. |
| Okay |
| Okay, let's continue. |
| Okay |
| let's check out our dialogue. |
| Bugün hangi gün? |
| What day is it today? |
| Bugün çarşamba. |
| Today is Wednesday. |
| Bugün çarşamba. |
| Let's see other examples. |
| Bugün salı. |
| Today is Tuesday. |
| Or |
| Bugün Cumartesi. |
| Today is Saturday. |
| Do you notice something here? |
| In Turkish |
| if it is not a specific day you are talking about like 29th of October, Monday |
| something like that |
| the days of the week always is written like this. |
| Not with the capital letter, as in English |
| but like this. |
| Okay, see, salı, cumartesi, çarşamba or you can see it here |
| you write it like that. |
| Okay |
| and |
| let's give you a tip about a cultural info. |
| You may see something similar in these two days, Pazartesi and Cumartesi. |
| Actually, these two words are made of two different words. |
| Pazar + ertesi |
| ertesi means the next |
| So |
| Pazartesi means the day after Pazar, Sunday. |
| It doesn't have its own name |
| but it is named before the day coming before it, I mean. |
| And this one is |
| cuma + ertesi |
| so it means the day coming after Friday, Cuma Ertesi. |
| Okay |
| now let's check out our sentence pattern. |
| Okay, let's see our sentence pattern. |
| It's really really easy. |
| You just say Bugün |
| it means today. |
| And after that, you just say the day of the week. |
| Bugün [day of the week] |
| Bugün çarşamba |
| Bugün salı |
| bugün cumartesi |
| You see in English, it is even more complicated. |
| Today is |
| but in Turkish |
| it literally means today Monday, today Tuesday, today Saturday. |
| That's it. |
| Okay, how was it guys? |
| Did you enjoy the lesson? |
