| Hello! Merhaba! |
| What's up everyone? |
| Welcome to another Turkish whiteboard lessons. |
| Today we have a fun topic. |
| We will talk about how to give your name in Turkish. |
| Are you guys ready? |
| Let's get started. |
| First, let's look at our dialogue. |
| Merhaba, Ben Demir Dilber. Memnun oldum. |
| Ben de memnun oldum. Ben Defne Deniz |
| Now let's look at the English translation. |
| Hello, I'm Demir Dilber. Pleased to meet you. |
| I'm also pleased to meet you. I'm Defne Deniz |
| Do you see the structure here? |
| Let's look at the structure. |
| Let's see our sentence pattern. |
| Ben [Name] |
| Ben Seda, for example. |
| Or you can say, |
| Adım [Name]. |
| Again, same structure. |
| Ben [Name] |
| Adım [Name] |
| Ben Seda |
| Adım Seda |
| Easy, right? |
| Okay, let's see what we have here. |
| The grammar. |
| Okay, let's see the grammar. |
| As you can see, to be verb |
| often omitted in Turkish, which makes it very much easier. |
| Ben means I. |
| As you can see, you don't say I am. |
| You just say I. |
| Ben |
| Ben Seda |
| Or let's look at this one. |
| Adım |
| This means my name. |
| My name |
| As you can see, we don't have my name is. |
| We don't have M is are. |
| We don't have the to be. |
| Ben Adım |
| That's it. |
| Just one word. |
| If you learn that one word, you can say your name in Turkish. |
| Okay, let's see what we have next. |
| We have the vocabulary. |
| Let's see our Turkish vocabulary first. |
| Merhaba |
| This means hello. |
| And I want to say something. |
| Normally, we don't read the H in merhaba. |
| We say |
| Merhaba |
| Let's see the next one |
| Memnun oldum |
| Pleased to meet you. |
| Let's see the next one. |
| Ben de memnun oldum. |
| I'm also pleased to meet you. |
| Okay? |
| Okay, let's see the next part. |
| Let's see our linguistic insight. |
| If you want to say this, pleased to meet you, in a full proper form, |
| you would say |
| Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum. |
| Okay? |
| I'm pleased to meet you. |
| But literally, tanıştığımıza means that we met. |
| I'm pleased that we met. |
| How this goes? |
| Tanışmak. |
| Okay? |
| This is to meet. |
| And when you add tanıştığımıza, this is the suffix. |
| A little bit complicated for now. |
| But this makes the sentence that we met. |
| So, memnun oldum. |
| I am pleased that we met. |
| Okay? |
| So, you know the formal structure as well. |
