Hey guys, welcome back to Turkish white board series. |
Today we have another fun topic. |
We will learn about Turkish currency, |
the lira and the big big large large numbers till |
Okay, if you are ready buckle up and let's get started. |
Okay, first we will start by learning the vocabulary |
and look at the look at the board and don't get frightened. |
Okay, I know there are a lot of numbers in here |
but before we start I have to tell you that |
Turkish numbers are all regular so when you know a couple of things |
you just add the numbers and it's easy |
there is no irregularity in Turkish numbers so |
you already I assume that you already know to count from 1 to 10 |
bir, iki, üç, dört, beş, altı, yedi, sekiz, dokuz, on |
and I will start with ""on"" meaning ten. |
Let's see. |
on |
yirmi |
otuz |
kirk |
elli |
altmış |
yetmiş |
seksen |
doksan |
yüz |
Okay, This is our first set from 10 to 100. |
on, yirmi, otuz, kirk, elli, altmış, yetmiş, seksen, doksan, yüz |
and I want you to notice something |
after yüz till 1000 |
you just add the numbers 1 2 3 before the number yüz, Okay? |
Let's see. |
iki yüz |
üç yüz |
dört yüz |
beş yüz |
altı yüz |
yedi yüz |
sekiz yüz |
dokuz yüz |
Do you see |
iki, üç, dört, beş, altı, yedi, sekiz, dokuz, |
These are the normal numbers and you add yüz |
so, it's very easy okay and after this part. |
Now we came to thousands and thousand means 'bin' in Turkish okay? |
bin this is thousand okay |
let's separate it like this as well okay from |
iki yüz to dokuz yüz and then we have 1000 and after this |
it's again regular you just add 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to 1000 |
So, let's see |
iki bin |
üç bin |
dört bin |
beş bin |
altı bin |
yedi bin |
sekiz bin |
dokuz bin |
See, easy peasy and then we have on bin |
because this is on bin |
and it's not our topic today but if you want to continue you just add 20 30 40 50 |
and bin and you make the larger larger numbers okay so it's easy |
no irregularity okay let's say it. |
One more time. |
on |
yirmi |
otuz |
kirk |
elli |
altmış |
yetmiş |
seksen |
doksan |
yüz |
iki yüz |
üç yüz |
dört yüz |
beş yüz |
altı yüz |
yedi yüz |
sekiz yüz |
dokuz yüz |
bin |
iki bin |
üç bin |
dört bin |
beş bin |
altı bin |
yedi bin |
sekiz bin |
dokuz bin |
And on bin very good too much too many numbers |
but it's not that difficult I guess okay let's continue |
okay let's now continue with our dialogue and learn about the currency in Turkish |
Bu kupa kaç para? |
How much does this mug cost? |
yetmiş lira elli kuruş |
It costs seventy lira and fifty kuruş, okay? |
Let's see our examples. |
Bir lira elli kuruş |
It costs one lira fifty kuruş |
Beş bin iki yüz kırk sekiz lira |
It costs five thousand two hundred forty-eight lira, okay? |
you see |
When we talk about currencies Turkish currency is lira |
and the currency smaller than lira is kuruş |
but this is a cultural note I guess it's very bad for us but because of the |
high high high rate of inflation in Turkey |
now kuruş doesn't mean much of course we still use it |
but there is actually nothing to buy using kuruş |
because everything is way more expensive |
to pay than kuruş it's not like cent in or quarter like USD dollar |
okay now let's continue |
Let's see our sentence pattern here |
actually, our sentence pattern much is much easier than English |
because you only say the number you don't even have a full sentence |
you say number lira number kuruş that's it |
whatever the number is number lira number kuruş |
See, Bir lira elli kuruş, |
number lira number kuruş |
yetmiş lira elli kuruş, |
number lira number kuruş |
Beş bin iki yüz kırk sekiz lira because we don't have kuruş here |
number lira that's it |
if you don't have the kuruş you just say number lira that's it |
you don't need to say it costs number lira and number kuruş |
you don't have this part in Turkish. |
Okay, normally we are done, |
but before we are done let's continue with this |
we have a couple of numbers to you know study together |
let's say 31 how do we say it |
otuz bir |
and you see all our numbers are written separately |
otuz bir |
this is otuz and you add bir one |
seksen üç |
iki yüz kırk sekiz |
iki yüz kırk sekiz |
And, 1530 |
Bin beş yüz otuz |
That's it. |
I hope you enjoyed this lesson. |
