*: ‘Baba (Pops)’ is not meant to address a senior in this context; it is one of the many slangs Turkish youth use to address each other.
*: 'Hacı ( Hadji)is normally used to address Muslims who have completed their Hajj pilgrimage, but like ‘ Baba (Pops)’, sometimes this word is also used as a slang by the Turkish youth to address each other.

*: ‘Damlaya damlaya göl olur’ word for word: ‘Dripping drops make a lake.’ Actual meaning: This proverb means a small amount of something (such as money) can accumulate to a great amount if we are patient. Sometimes, it also means that we can achieve great things with small steps.

*: 'Bal dök yala.' word for word: 'Pour honey on it and lick it'. Actual meaning: We say this to point out something that is very clean and tidy.
*: 'Keser döner sap döner, gün gelir hesap döner.': word for word: 'Hatchet turns, handle turns, one day the score turns'. Actual meaning: This proverb means things can always take an unexpected turn, and our affairs might not always go as we planned.
*: 'Çam devirmek': word for word: 'Toppling the pine tree': Actual meaning: We say ‘he/she toppled the pine tree’ when someone commits a faux pas (an embarrassing blunder) during conversations.
*: 'Saman altından su yürütmek' word for word: 'Running water under the hay' Actual meaning: We say someone ‘runs water under the hay’ when he/she does something without anyone noticing, usually with the intent of making trouble.

  • You probably wouldn't hear these idioms in daily life especially from young people. Reason being most modern idioms include swearwords, which are probably either cut in this video or people didn't want to say them. Some of not swear including idioms are Köprüyü geçene kadar ayıya dayı demek (literally: calling a bear as 'dear' until crossing the bridge): Means that you'll act as you like somebody you actually don't like because s/he could be useful for you to 'cross the bridge'. (uninformal) Fransız kalmak (lit: being French): Used when someone's totally unaware of some topic so that person is a 'stranger' to what's going on, thus, being French (obviously a French can't understand Turkish language) Bilal'e anlatır gibi anlatmak (lit: tell as you're telling to 'Bilal'): Bilal is a male name here but nobody knows the relevance to the sentence but it fits so well. Meaning is someone's unable to understand what you're saying due to complexity so s/he wants you to 'tell me as you're telling to Bilal'. And you start to tell in a more explaining way.(This idiom itself is very uninformal so some student just wouldn't tell this to their professor) Yiğidi öldür hakkını yeme/hakkını ver (lit: Kill the brave, give her(or his) rights): Even if you hate a person you have to appreciate if they did something for good. (i.e: This could be used by a classic socialist person who's speaking for Mikhail Gorbachev)

    • Do you really sure nobody knows to relavance between that sentences and Bilal or just doesnt want to said here ?

    • Bilal refers to the son of Erdogan. When their tapes were leaked, it appeared that Bilal’s surroundings were trying to explain things in a very simple way in order to get him understood. So “bilal’e anlatir gibi anlatmak” means “to explain like I’m five”

  • I really enjoyed that. Perhaps you could do a similar one on foreign words in Turkish. Are they popular? Where do they come from? Do people hate them and try to keep Turkish "pure". Another thought - how about talking about new words where do they come from? Do you have words that specifically happen in the internet setting? In English there are many abbreviations that are used when chatting online....

    @jmgronski@jmgronski5 жыл бұрын
    • Jan Gronski Foreign words is a whole different title in Turkish. There is a lot of French and Arabic word and those words adapted to our language for a long time. We even tried to do that “Kick those foreign words and make Turkish pure again” thing in some parts of republic history. But after those tries we notice that trying this is an unnecessary thing. But if there is an alternative Turkish word to a foreign word, we use the Turkish one ofc. And about modern day internet language, yep the younger people communicate with that language. And it reflects the speaking language

  • Üzülerek söylüyorum ki, çok büyük bir kalite düşüklüğü mevcut videolarda diğer Easy Language videolarıyla karşılaştırıldığında. Mikrofon konusunda bir düzene oturtmanız gerekmez mi? Hala ne olduğu belli olmayan telefon kılıfı dikkat dağıtmaya devam ederken, aynı zamanda da büyük bir estetik sorunu yaşatıyor. İçerik konusunda da keza düzenleme yapılmalı. Sorulan her soru alınan her cevap içeriğe uygun değilse düzenlenip kesilmeli. Aynı mekanlar, aynı görüşler bilmiyorum ama daha iyi lanse edilebilir bu format aracılığıyla. Son olarak sunucunun soruyu sorup kaçması, topu soru sorulana bırakması videonun ciddiyetsizliğini arttırıyor. Daha samimi bir ortam kurabilmek adına belki röportaja başlamadan önce konuşulup ortam yumuşatılabilir. Eleştirilerimi yanlış anlamazsınız umarım. Yeni başlamışız ama daha da gelişeceğine inanıyorum. Sevgiler!

    • In most touristic cities like Istanbul and Izmir, you'll be fine. Learn a few phrases in Turkish to communicate with locals. If you go travel to Eastern Anatolian or other lesser known regions of Turkey, chances are, almost nobody will speak English.
