I'm a native Turkish speaker from Turkey, and I can say that the American girl's pronunciation of "göçmen" and "köy" is perfect, but in general, the Brazilian girl seems to be the quickest learner among them.
00:15 Turkish and Arabic are completely different languages. Turkish is a Turkic language. (Turkish is 15% loanwords. But this doesn't mean It has an Arabic vibe. They sound so different. They are belonged to different language families. English has 30% French words. Does it give a french vibe?) Here is a explanatory video about Turkish: ruclips.net/video/fp6LKiUqfO4/видео.htmlsi=x04509ekIG3rMjdQ (There is a controversial proposal that Japonic, Koreanic, Turkish, Finnish, and Hungarian belong to the same language family, called the Altaic languages. Korean, Japanese, and Turkish are more similar to each other in terms of grammar than they are to Arabic. They share the same syntax and other grammatical features. All of these Altaic languages are agglutinative.)
I mean Turkish has a lot of words coming from Arabic even tho is a Turkic language itself. Even for Hello, we say "Merhaba" or "Selam" which both of them are coming from Arabic.
@@greateacheronizukaThere are many Persian words in Turkish, such as düşman, dost, canım, kahraman, ayna, üstad, and others. The Persian and Arabic loanwords in Turkish enhance the beauty of the language, which has descended from Old Turkic (Göktürk era) through Seljuk-era Oghuz Turkic, making it even more beautiful and pleasant.

I like this stuff more than the "where did it go wrong" games because it is simply about them struggling to pronounce the actual sounds and not someone else's hazy memory.
I have underestimated the effort it takes for me to pronounce Turkish words properly 😆 Always learning new things every time but it was so interesting!!
I want to say that arabic and turkish are not similar. Actually we have so many words which come from french. Also we Turkish people are not arabic and not using arabic. When our founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk saved the country, he changed everythink. The language, the alphabet and much more. Even before Turkish Republic turkish people were not using arabic. They were using a language called ottoman turkish. So we have no similarities at all.
@@muziksever_13 this is not correct. We still have the most loanwords from arabic and persian. French is a lot too, but not quite as many as the others. You probably just don't realize it because the words have been manifested in the turkish langauge for hundreds of years. Some examples are Kagit, Kalem, Kitap, Hayat, Zaman etc. Obviously Turkish is another language branch than arabic, but we do have a lot of words in common.
I wonder how cool this RUclips channel is. Girls from different countries talking about a language, trying to pronounce words, laughing and celebrating. This world is amazing. I love human beings.
The letter “ğ” actually means the previous letter is elongated. So Kağıt (paper) would be Kaaıt, Ayçiçeği Çekirdeği would be Ayçiçeei Çekirdeei (Sunflower Seed), Sığır Eti (Beef)would be Sııır Eti. Also “kağıt” is no longer written with â, it was changed a while back. 😊
The interesting thing with "kağıt" is that the "-ağı-" part of it isn't quite pronounced the same as a standard Turkish word would be. What I mean is that the "a" sort of becomes a schwa sound "ə" (like the "e" in "chicken".
@@iremoji I know it isn't the schwa sound, but I also know that it definitely isn't the "æ" sound either. İngilizceye gerek yok. "Kağıt" kelimesindeki "a" sesine tekabül eden fonetik ses /ɑ/ sesidir (açık arka düz ünlü)
It is not always the case. For example between identical front vowels it is completely silent: (sevdiğim, düğün) etc. There are rules for it the learners should pay attention to.

OMG, Genesia, same girl. I can't tell the difference between what you said and what the other girls said! I definitely won’t do well with this language, syusye benerrr 😂 The Turkish girl is really less forgiving than the Spanish girl who was more understanding of the mistakes you made with your Duolingo Spanish but she would make a good teacher for sure 😅
I think it is because Spanish only has 5 sounds, so it's easier to be forgiving because even If you say it slightly different the meaning will not change. But Turkish seems to have a lot of slightly different vowels and maybe saying the wrong one will make it actually hard to understand or even change the meaning.
Nah I could definitely hear the Catalan girl pronouncing g with a breve as normal g, pronouncing ö as o and pronouncing ü as u. All love for her but this wasn't unfair. I felt like Genesia if anything was dealt with more unfairly. 😆
OMG...I just cant believe that most beautiful and my greatest person is trying to speak my native language.It was so sensational for me.I hope you are the happiest person in world Christina.Wherever you are, whoever you are with...
Considering the fact that neither English nor Indonesian nor Spanish nor Portuguese have any ö and ü sounds, they all did surprisingly well... I bet for a speaker of French, German, Hungarian or Swedish, the words would not be too hard to pronounce.
In Dutch we have eu (ö) and u (ü) like in French. As in French there are roughly two ways to pronounce eu (leur, peu) we have that too. But, we have another ablauted vowel: ui, still. Close to eu, bot to us far from. In grammar school we would pronounce the classical Greek eu as our ui - whether that was correct? Your guess is as good as mine - it was about texts written some 2,500 years ago.
We kind of have the sound ü in Portuguese but only in rapid speech with a lower tone of voice, vários (several) in my accent (Rio de Janeiro) will be pronounced [ˈväɾʲʏɕ] instead of [ˈväɾjʊɕ] like it would be in careful speech, de fininho (quietly and furtively) will become [d̥ʒ̊ fɪ̥ˈn̠ʲɪ̃ʏ̯̃] instead of [dʑɪ fɪˈn̠ʲɪ̃j̃ʊ] and so on. You can see this in how Brazilians will represent -inho as -im (bonitim, fofim, grandim for cute x2 and "more grownup than previous smol state") in eye dialect for the speech of a rural person (say, the Chico Bento characters), but that's absolutely not the same sound in make in fim (end) or carmim (rouge), which is [ɪ̃ɰ̟̃]. The average native speaker doesn't realize these extremely specific details about the phonology of their own language, though.
indonesian girl is spot on, turkey incorporated the latin alphabet(original was gokturk) to seem more western but in reality the language is turkic central asian with arabic n persian loanwords.
@@PlasticSkies-e9k For the İstanbul dialect taught to foreigners, there is no exact pronunciation of “Ğ”. It either has the function of lengthening/contracting the preceding sound or in some cases forming a “Y” sound. "Ağır = A:ır", "İğne = İyne", "Bekleyeceğim = Beklicem", however, it can make a softer or harder H sound for other dialects which may be challenging for foreigners to understand natives using different dialects other than İstanbul dialect.
@@Bemrecprk Bekleyeceğim'den beklicem'e geçmek Türkçe öğrenen biri için çok zor. Türkçe yazıldığı gibi okunduğu zaman bile zor, yazıldığı gibi okunmadığı zaman hiç çekilmez. Ben şahsen uğraşmazdım.
She forgot to told but we call the think on a, a hat. ^ sign im talking about. We can place it on u, ı and a. In a it makes the a sound more high pitched. You can see the difference when Irmak pronounce Kâğıt in 02:34. It is more lighter. Also we call it şapka in turkish. It is a şapkalı a ,â.
In Brazil , we have the same word for grandmother and grandfather but, we say that the man wears a hat, which is ^ that sign. The real name is acento circunflexo but, for kids we say that grandpa has a hat and grandma has a poneytail hair. AVÔ = grandfather AVÓ =grandmother
Hello, I am a Turkish girl and I would like to give some information about this video. We swallow the letter Ğ in words, we do not say it with a sound coming from the throat as the Turkish girl in the video mentioned, unlike Arabic. The letter "Ğ" is only taught this way in primary school. When you ask an adult, instead of making this sound, they say "soft G". We pronounce this letter as if we were jumping or like the letter "y-" in words. 🌟
And in my primary school teacher taught us the way she said in the video. The thing is every teacher teaches differently or maybe every year the education system in Turkey changes probably that's why.
@@greateacheronizuka Soft g is silent, we don’t pronounce it in today’s Turkish. It just makes the pronunciation of the previous letter longer. That’s it.
As someone with English as their mother-tongue and who can speak French, Spanish, Italian and German, one of the first things I noticed with these languages was how they helpfully had wee squiggles (umlauts, accents, graves, tildes etc.) over/under some letters as an aid to pronunciation. English is lazy in this respect and just expects everyone to get it without these diacritical marks. I often feel sorry for the average English learner in this regard. For example, letters ‘ough’ can be pronounced a ridiculous number of different ways in English: tough, cough, plough, dough, bought, through, thorough, hiccough, hough, lough! And not a single diacritical mark to help with pronunciation!
the American lady, I like the most outta the other American ones, she was absent for a while, I wonder where was she? what was she occupied with ? :P XD I wanna know her bettar. btw as a Turkish-Italian this episode was the best in terms of word selection in Turkish. Also I wanna say that Kağıt actually is read like starting with Q not K, that is the accent on a makes it kinda soft a, we have a lot of usage of it, recently noones uses it in written language, but it actually makes huge different in reading.
She seems to be busy with a lot of things, I even watched a Korean show (sparkling watermelon) recently where she made a cameo, although it was from last year.
girly pop is turkish yet doesn’t know the basics of her language. soft g “ğ” is not a sound coming from the throat, it’s basically soundless. the word is kaıt, and the combination of ı and a is what makes it hard to pronounce. couldn’t watch futher lol
Soft g (ğ) is a silent letter actually. We don’t pronounce it. We just pronounce the vowel that comes before soft g (ğ) a bit longer. For example; yağmur (rain) is pronounced as yaamur, dağ (mountain) is pronounced as daa.
Pfff. Size bu yanlış bilgiyi kim verdi? Özellikle gençler arasında böyle bir bilgi var. Karşıma çıkıyor sürekli. "Ğ" harfini söylüyoruz da duyuyoruz da. Önceki harfi uzatmak türkçe bilmeyenlere kolaylık olsun diye öneriliyor. Bir de zamanında radyo, tv sunuculukları gibi diksiyon derslerinde "ğ" telaffuz etmeyin, önceki harfi uzatın şeklinde öğretiyorlardı. Fakat bunlar sıradan halkın "ğ" telaffuzu olmadığı anlamına gelmiyor. "Ğ" sessiz değildir. Söylüyoruz da duyuyoruz da. Bulduğun ilk Türk'e bir yaamur de bir de yağmur de. Bakalım duyuyor mu. Bu yanlış bilgiyi yaymaktan vazgeçin artık.
when you can say "çekoslovakyalılaştıramayacaklarımızdanmışsınız", you can speak turkish. there are also other words hard to pronounce even for turkish people like "muayenehane" , "konjonktür" , "muvafakatname" , "mütehassıs" , "röpteşambır" , "binaenaleyh" ... but my favourite is "josefin" which is used in furniture organisation and it means chaise lounge, a kind of armchair.
5:53 The person who said 'it does like nothing to me' about 'ğ' was actually the closest to the correct rule. In words, 'ğ' isn’t pronounced distinctly; instead, it lengthens the vowel that precedes it. For example, when pronouncing the word "kağıt", you don’t need to say "kaĞıt", you need to say "kaaıt"-with a soft and elongated 'a' sound. To master the pronunciation of kağıt, think of the English word "cat". The first two letters in both words are pronounced similarly. If you use "cat" as a reference, saying kaaıt (excluding the 'ı' sound) shouldn't feel too challenging.
actually soft g is silent when pronouncing the words. it just adds some length to the previous letter. what is actually hard to pronounce is the letter "ı" as i observed from my foreign friends.
Turkic language is central and north asian nomads language so calling it Arabic is so weird.. we also have too many french words but no one mentions that
As a native Turkish speaker, we kinda break letters into softer or more weirder way in some words lol- Such as kağıt, if you speak fast, you'd probably just say Kaat and move on. Or öğretmen, simply, 'ööretmen'. Lmao Turkish is so fun.
The best thing about Turkish is that all letters have a single pronunciation. So, if you know the pronunciation of Turkish letters, you can easily read any Turkish word.
Kağıt is like kiağıt-keağıt that thing â means it is soft same as ğ it is just a bit more softer less pronounced leaning to i,e(a little gentle and cuter) rather than a,u,o this have in some places like hala (aunt-hala) halâ (still-haalia) you also slightly make it longer when that soft indication comes out in wowels but this isnt really that prevelant Turkish only have some spoken words like that. We mostly do not have â they are rare occurances our alphabet does not include them actually due to them being so rare.
the letter ''ğ Ğ'' in turkish length the letter before itself. example; 'yağmur' means rain and pronouncing 'yaamur'. It is like Dehnungs h in german if you know german it is easy to understand
ok. i'm here to help brazilian girl who is definitely not porteguese having troubles with turkish vowels. 1. e in turkish is exactly the same as the e in men or den or fen. zero ambiguity if you know english. 2. the sound of dotless i is almost exactly the same as the i in cousin. also, in almost every english word where two consonants next to each other there's a natural ı that you are just not writing down. for example if the word great was a turkish word, we would write it as gıreyt. 3. a in turkish exactly like the a in car or bar or arc. 4. u in turkish exactly like the u in duration. 5. i in turkish exactly like the i in pin. 6. o is exactly like the o in go. 7. ö is like the i in bird or the u in turn. 8. ü is actually the hardest to find a match in english but u in uber comes pretty close. if you know german you get this easier. bonus 9. just skip soft g and elongate the vowel comes before it for example you "could" pronounciate dağ in turkish which means mountain as daa.
turkish just formalizes the “ı” sound that exists naturally in many languages but often goes unnoticed or unmarked. it’s like turkish decided to shine a light on a sound others left in the shadows.
As a "Ğ" protectors union, I want to condemn any person who claims It is a silent letter and doesnt have a sound :D The denial of this letter is a shame :D
İngilizce, Korece, Arapça ve İspanyolca biliyorum. Onlarda d farklı harfler var bir kez olsun bu kadar şov yapmadım bence biz ülke olarak dillerin telaffuzunu öğrenmek de çok iyiyiz. Ö zor değil ki Korece de "r, l" olarak telaffuz edilen bir harf var ve onlar kadar zorlanmadım yani
Noooo it sounds like Hungarian, Welsh and Guaraní 😆 Korean sounds like you speak with your mouth full and Japanese like you are imitating the sounds of a flock of parrots
@@ctct12300 closer than Korean or Japanese still. even Hindi, Indonesian and Tagalog closer. and again, young people in Korean sound like they're stumbling on their own words due to having food in the mouth, I don't know why that would be attractive. old people at least speak Korean in a lovely way.
why doesn't anybody teach a trick for foreigners about soft g ? Just pronounce previous letter longer than continue with others like öööretmen, ayçiçeei etc. It is like a connecting letter, there are no words starting with soft g in turkish. I think foreigners can learn faster and doesn't afraid from soft g in that way. Other letters are rather easy for foreigners to understand like Ç -> ch or Ş -> sh or Ö something like ugh

Turkey is wrong, it is TURKIYE

I think we brazilians have an easier time with pronunciation of other languages because we have a big range of sounds we make

I don’t know why seeing the Spanish girl struggle a little was so cute. She seems very nice.
indonesian girl is spot on, turkey incorporated the latin alphabet(original was gokturk) to seem more western but in reality the language is turkic central asian with arabic n persian loanwords.
She explained soft g(ğ) wrong because it doesnt have a pronunciation it make previous letter more longer pronounce
It does though we do it all the time unintentionally as turks its really hard to teach though 😅
im indonesian and how g in azerbaijani? cuz i feel they sound like gkh
@@PlasticSkies-e9k For the İstanbul dialect taught to foreigners, there is no exact pronunciation of “Ğ”. It either has the function of lengthening/contracting the preceding sound or in some cases forming a “Y” sound. "Ağır = A:ır", "İğne = İyne", "Bekleyeceğim = Beklicem", however, it can make a softer or harder H sound for other dialects which may be challenging for foreigners to understand natives using different dialects other than İstanbul dialect.
@@Bemrecprk Bekleyeceğim'den beklicem'e geçmek Türkçe öğrenen biri için çok zor. Türkçe yazıldığı gibi okunduğu zaman bile zor, yazıldığı gibi okunmadığı zaman hiç çekilmez. Ben şahsen uğraşmazdım.
No. It has pronouncation on it's own. Where did you learn Turkish from ? A butcher ?
She forgot to told but we call the think on a, a hat. ^ sign im talking about. We can place it on u, ı and a. In a it makes the a sound more high pitched. You can see the difference when Irmak pronounce Kâğıt in 02:34. It is more lighter. Also we call it şapka in turkish. It is a şapkalı a ,â.
In Brazil , we have the same word for grandmother and grandfather but, we say that the man wears a hat, which is ^ that sign. The real name is acento circunflexo but, for kids we say that grandpa has a hat and grandma has a poneytail hair.
AVÔ = grandfather
AVÓ =grandmother

We love you, Julia. ♥
Hello, I am a Turkish girl and I would like to give some information about this video. We swallow the letter Ğ in words, we do not say it with a sound coming from the throat as the Turkish girl in the video mentioned, unlike Arabic. The letter "Ğ" is only taught this way in primary school. When you ask an adult, instead of making this sound, they say "soft G". We pronounce this letter as if we were jumping or like the letter "y-" in words. 🌟
No, she is right. But you are also right cause we say it is coming from throat even tho we don't pronounce it most of times in a real talk.
And in my primary school teacher taught us the way she said in the video. The thing is every teacher teaches differently or maybe every year the education system in Turkey changes probably that's why.
@@greateacheronizuka Soft g is silent, we don’t pronounce it in today’s Turkish. It just makes the pronunciation of the previous letter longer. That’s it.
@@greateacheronizuka you guys have no idea what a sound from throat means lol soft g isn't from throat, it simply just doesn't exist.
@@melna21 Yes, that's what I'm saying. We don't pronounce it in today's Turkish. But in the past we were.
I'm really love when brazilian girl speaks english. like it's so sexy and hits different 🫶🏻
I definitely like the Brazilian girl! Don't mind if she speaks French to me all night long.
Irmak is so pretty 😻
Irmak mean lake
@@TURKOPOL46 Might it be "river" ?
@@TURKOPOL46"lake" göl demek aga
As someone with English as their mother-tongue and who can speak French, Spanish, Italian and German, one of the first things I noticed with these languages was how they helpfully had wee squiggles (umlauts, accents, graves, tildes etc.) over/under some letters as an aid to pronunciation. English is lazy in this respect and just expects everyone to get it without these diacritical marks. I often feel sorry for the average English learner in this regard. For example, letters ‘ough’ can be pronounced a ridiculous number of different ways in English:
tough, cough, plough, dough, bought, through, thorough, hiccough, hough, lough!
And not a single diacritical mark to help with pronunciation!
What the heck are the last 3 words? 😅
Never heard of any of them
8:50 I agree, Julia looks kind of Turkish
She's of Italian, Hungarian and PRESUMABLY Portuguese and Indigenous Brazilian ancestry, so that gives a Mediterranean x Eurasian steppe vibe
Technically all of them look Turkish since they got western/mediterranean look except the asian girl from indonesia
Christina finally got back!)
Dua orang yang lucu genesia dan Julia🤣👍🤩
the American lady, I like the most outta the other American ones, she was absent for a while, I wonder where was she? what was she occupied with ? :P XD I wanna know her bettar. btw as a Turkish-Italian this episode was the best in terms of word selection in Turkish. Also I wanna say that Kağıt actually is read like starting with Q not K, that is the accent on a makes it kinda soft a, we have a lot of usage of it, recently noones uses it in written language, but it actually makes huge different in reading.
She seems to be busy with a lot of things, I even watched a Korean show (sparkling watermelon) recently where she made a cameo, although it was from last year.
I think The Turkish girl is so beautiful ❤️❤️
Arabic and Turkish are completely different languages with completely different grammars.
As a german I find turkish one of the easiest languages to pronounce.
Selemat pagi,Genesia senang bertemu denganmu. Aku juja berasal dari indonesia!
girly pop is turkish yet doesn’t know the basics of her language. soft g “ğ” is not a sound coming from the throat, it’s basically soundless. the word is kaıt, and the combination of ı and a is what makes it hard to pronounce. couldn’t watch futher lol
Iğdır olmalıydı. Yabancılar en çok içinde ı ve ğ olan sözleri söylerken zorlanıyorlar.

Soft g (ğ) is a silent letter actually. We don’t pronounce it. We just pronounce the vowel that comes before soft g (ğ) a bit longer. For example; yağmur (rain) is pronounced as yaamur, dağ (mountain) is pronounced as daa.
Pfff. Size bu yanlış bilgiyi kim verdi? Özellikle gençler arasında böyle bir bilgi var. Karşıma çıkıyor sürekli. "Ğ" harfini söylüyoruz da duyuyoruz da. Önceki harfi uzatmak türkçe bilmeyenlere kolaylık olsun diye öneriliyor. Bir de zamanında radyo, tv sunuculukları gibi diksiyon derslerinde "ğ" telaffuz etmeyin, önceki harfi uzatın şeklinde öğretiyorlardı. Fakat bunlar sıradan halkın "ğ" telaffuzu olmadığı anlamına gelmiyor. "Ğ" sessiz değildir. Söylüyoruz da duyuyoruz da. Bulduğun ilk Türk'e bir yaamur de bir de yağmur de. Bakalım duyuyor mu. Bu yanlış bilgiyi yaymaktan vazgeçin artık.
For the sunflower seed; it could be added that it means moonflower in turkish :)
when you can say "çekoslovakyalılaştıramayacaklarımızdanmışsınız", you can speak turkish. there are also other words hard to pronounce even for turkish people like "muayenehane" , "konjonktür" , "muvafakatname" , "mütehassıs" , "röpteşambır" , "binaenaleyh" ... but my favourite is "josefin" which is used in furniture organisation and it means chaise lounge, a kind of armchair.
Hello from Turkey, now try to pronounce Türkiye 🇹🇷
I'm Turkish and I could hear accent differences clearly but i loved their efforts and they were not that bad 👌🏻
that hammer and a group of male friends the end would be concussion and brain bleeding lol
I really like this channel because they don't exclude Turkey
Julia was great, and Genesia as well. Wish they tried "Çekoslavakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdan mısınız?" :). great one, thanx.
Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesinesiniz daha uzun
@@doll_151 kızlar "kağıt" diyemiyor, senin yazdığına bak. ben bile 3 kerede okuyabildim :)
@@yavuz.s :D
5:53 The person who said 'it does like nothing to me' about 'ğ' was actually the closest to the correct rule. In words, 'ğ' isn’t pronounced distinctly; instead, it lengthens the vowel that precedes it. For example, when pronouncing the word "kağıt", you don’t need to say "kaĞıt", you need to say "kaaıt"-with a soft and elongated 'a' sound.
To master the pronunciation of kağıt, think of the English word "cat". The first two letters in both words are pronounced similarly. If you use "cat" as a reference, saying kaaıt (excluding the 'ı' sound) shouldn't feel too challenging.
i am a turk and they pronounced some of the words PERFECTLY, im glad turkish is getting more attention
actually soft g is silent when pronouncing the words. it just adds some length to the previous letter. what is actually hard to pronounce is the letter "ı" as i observed from my foreign friends.
Turkic language is central and north asian nomads language so calling it Arabic is so weird.. we also have too many french words but no one mentions that
The soft g, "ğ", basically makes the vowel before it longer! Its like the german ss, "ß", which makes a double ss sound!
As a turkish 🇹🇷girly Julia did the best good try to the others too❤
As a native Turkish speaker, we kinda break letters into softer or more weirder way in some words lol-
Such as kağıt, if you speak fast, you'd probably just say Kaat and move on.
Or öğretmen, simply, 'ööretmen'.
Lmao Turkish is so fun.
The best thing about Turkish is that all letters have a single pronunciation. So, if you know the pronunciation of Turkish letters, you can easily read any Turkish word.
the hardest word in Turkish: ''Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine''
Hadi "muhafakiyetsizlireştiremeyeceklerimizdenmişcesiniz" diyin göreyim
YEEEEEEEEEES NICE CONTENT WITH NICE TURKISH GIRL
Kağıt is like kiağıt-keağıt that thing â means it is soft same as ğ it is just a bit more softer less pronounced leaning to i,e(a little gentle and cuter) rather than a,u,o this have in some places like hala (aunt-hala) halâ (still-haalia) you also slightly make it longer when that soft indication comes out in wowels but this isnt really that prevelant Turkish only have some spoken words like that. We mostly do not have â they are rare occurances our alphabet does not include them actually due to them being so rare.
"Ayçiçeği Çekirdeği" is never used by the public. We say "ayçekirdeği" or if you are from İzmir, you say "Çiğdem".
the letter ''ğ Ğ'' in turkish length the letter before itself. example; 'yağmur' means rain and pronouncing 'yaamur'.
It is like Dehnungs h in german if you know german it is easy to understand
As a Turk if they didn’t have an accent they would be amazing! But Julia did the best in my opinion just soften the ğ !
Julia is the smarter one than all of them 🤍
Best explanation for soft Ğ is "you can skip but not skip that much" 😅 Irmak (river) is a great teacher 👏
how tf they all said ayçiçeği çekirdeği almost perfectly. im impressed :D
I love how she showed zero tolerance to the girls that made the Arabic comment lol well deserved
ok. i'm here to help brazilian girl who is definitely not porteguese having troubles with turkish vowels.
1. e in turkish is exactly the same as the e in men or den or fen. zero ambiguity if you know english.
2. the sound of dotless i is almost exactly the same as the i in cousin. also, in almost every english word where two consonants next to each other there's a natural ı that you are just not writing down. for example if the word great was a turkish word, we would write it as gıreyt.
3. a in turkish exactly like the a in car or bar or arc.
4. u in turkish exactly like the u in duration.
5. i in turkish exactly like the i in pin.
6. o is exactly like the o in go.
7. ö is like the i in bird or the u in turn.
8. ü is actually the hardest to find a match in english but u in uber comes pretty close. if you know german you get this easier.
bonus 9. just skip soft g and elongate the vowel comes before it for example you "could" pronounciate dağ in turkish which means mountain as daa.
Couldnt agree more.
She's Brazilian, not Portuguese.
turkish just formalizes the “ı” sound that exists naturally in many languages but often goes unnoticed or unmarked. it’s like turkish decided to shine a light on a sound others left in the shadows.
oh! OH! also every english word ends with "en" is actually, phonetically an "ın"
frightın
tightın
oh oh and evın buttın.
@@GodWindu Yeah literally the Invisible letter which all languages have it.
I Like Turkey Drama (KIRAZ MEVSIMI) From Indonesia🇮🇩❤🇹🇷
ğ is changes the letter next to it > way
Brazilian girl is the best but they all did quite well.
I am Turkish and i was waiting for the "çeklovakyalıştıramadıklarımızdanmısınız?"
0:17 Can someone teach somethings about Geography for this ingonorant Indonesian girl. pls
Turkish has lots of Arabic words probably because of ottoman times(also the whole alphabet was Arabic'ish?)
as a turkish, its very easy. but learning time is 2 or 1 years
As a "Ğ" protectors union, I want to condemn any person who claims It is a silent letter and doesnt have a sound :D The denial of this letter is a shame :D
Most people in Turkiye pronounce "kâğıt" wrongly. It is normal for foreigners.
Bir sonraki sefer de lütfen ''muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine'' söyletir misiniz?
İngilizce, Korece, Arapça ve İspanyolca biliyorum. Onlarda d farklı harfler var bir kez olsun bu kadar şov yapmadım bence biz ülke olarak dillerin telaffuzunu öğrenmek de çok iyiyiz. Ö zor değil ki Korece de "r, l" olarak telaffuz edilen bir harf var ve onlar kadar zorlanmadım yani
I'd say ğ is rather a softer h than g when it's pronounced.
🇧🇷 Julia orgulho do Brasil
It is funny even tho im from türkiye.In middle school students would make fun of other students pronancation about "kağıt".
in soft g (Ğ/ğ) only keep former letter longer
I live in Turkey (Not born LIVE) I'm dying inside 😭😭😭
If they say it sounds like Arabic one more time, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.
Using "y" instead "ğ" is a common mistake. Especially saying "eyer" instead of "eğer"
1:56 As a native turkish speaker, I just say "kyaat"
Kağıt is not pronounced like that, it’s like kağt without “ı”, many turkish people always say it wrong
İyi de bunlar zor değil ki bunlara muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştireveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine sormaları lazım. 😊
Turkish sounds like Korean and Japanese
Noooo it sounds like Hungarian, Welsh and Guaraní 😆 Korean sounds like you speak with your mouth full and Japanese like you are imitating the sounds of a flock of parrots
@@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr No, it doesn't look like Hungarian at all. Hungarian sounds like Persian.
@@ctct12300 closer than Korean or Japanese still. even Hindi, Indonesian and Tagalog closer. and again, young people in Korean sound like they're stumbling on their own words due to having food in the mouth, I don't know why that would be attractive. old people at least speak Korean in a lovely way.
@@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr What I usually hear from foreigners is that they compare Turkish to bird chirping.
@@ctct12300 yes it's definitely like a literal turkey. I guess it's similar to Japanese in that sense of being bird-like.
Brazilian girl spoked like a turkish.
Kağıt 🤔 kagıt🔥
why doesn't anybody teach a trick for foreigners about soft g ? Just pronounce previous letter longer than continue with others like öööretmen, ayçiçeei etc. It is like a connecting letter, there are no words starting with soft g in turkish. I think foreigners can learn faster and doesn't afraid from soft g in that way. Other letters are rather easy for foreigners to understand like Ç -> ch or Ş -> sh or Ö something like ugh
