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.
The way you did “güneşleniyorum” in American accent was the best part of the video for me hahah you did really great job in Turkish!! Hope to see you again
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.

🖐🏻Hello, thank you very much for having me as a guest in your video. It was a really fun shoot. I hope you liked it. ✨ And I want to correct something about soft g “ğ”as many Turkish friends say, the letter "ğ" silent letter and I did not explain it fully in the video I just said you can skip but not that much 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️it is actually used to lengthen the previous vowel and make smoothness the between letters. This might be the exact explanation🙏
Are you the Turkish girl from the video? 😮 You seem a nice person. And pretty 😊 🥰 Have fun in Korea 💃🍹👍 Greetings from Spain And please, break a lot of hearts 😎😉
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.
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)
As an half Arabic and half Turkish person, you are partially wrong and partially right. While they don’t use the same alphabet, there are words like; Arabic: و, (wē) in the meaning of ‘and’. Turkish: ve, (ve) in the same meaning; of ‘and’. They’re not completely different. They have *very* similar words, so I wouldn’t say that they’re polar opposites. The Turkish also used to use Arabic letters before Atatürk became president (if i remember correctly).
@@computer.2OO8 Serbians has more than 9 thousand words from Türkiye, are they Türkish? No. Everybody uses the same kind of words but that doesn't mean they are that ethnic.

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. 😆
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.
@ybuuby7960 Yalnız "â" dan önce gelen k ve g harfleri ky ve gy şeklinde okunur, o yüzden. Dikkât edersen kar ve kâr kelimelerindeki tek farklılık, birinin kyar diye okunması
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.
@@ozanmrcan Ğ’nin ses karşılığı yok, konuşurken videoda dendiği gibi gırtlaktan bir ses falan çıkarılmıyor direkt sesli harfleri uzatarak konuşuyorsun.
@@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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The good thing about turkish is that you dont have to worry about same letters having different pronounciations Thats why we have extra letters like ç or ş; since we ch and sh doesnt change their sounds So for example you dont see "pacific ocean" and go "what the heck all of the c's are different" instead we have "pasifik okyanusu" (But if it was read the same the ocean part would be changed with oşın instead of okyanusu)
the soft g "ğ" is not pronounced, it's not coming back of your throat, it doesn't sound like y or nothing. "ğ" makes the the vowel in front of it longer. you can't use it next to a consonant. also, in the first example, there is a -what we called a hatted a-. This letter doesn't belong in our alphabet but the old words have them (only on i and a) and the vowel's with hat has no different pronounciation, it makes the constononant in front of it sounds different. You can check on the dictionary to hear it (for it's example i can give you "kar" one k sounds different and means snow and when it pronounced different, means profit) hope that helps!
Turkcede yumusak G önceki hecedeki sesin uzatılması şeklinde telaffuz edilir. Yani fonatik olarak bir ses üretimi barındırmaz, daha çok bir sesin uzatılmasını sağlayan bir mekanizma görevi görür. Kagit orneginde mesela yumusak G'nin gorevi ondan once gelen A harfini uzatip I harfini de dusurur. Yani aslinda ka:at diye okunur. En azindan dogrusu bu sekilde
6:04 it's sunflower seed. Ayçiçeği is sunflower, çekirdeği is seed (of). Because çekirdek is seed, and the "i" at the end is means "of" but it's slient.
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 difference 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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
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.
Turkey is wrong, it is TURKIYE
Brazilians for you 😌 hehe just kidding
I think we brazilians have an easier time with pronunciation of other languages because we have a big range of sounds we make
she is very quick and swift as a person in general XD

As a Turk, I say that Julia's accent is very good and I would like to add that "ğ" is a soft g, not a sound coming from the throat.

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.
@@chicotchello372 You confuse letters with sounds... The "ü" in Portuguese does not make the same sound as the latter "ü" in German or Turkish.
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.
Also, the /u/ phoneme in English is quite fronted in some words, like cute.
As a german I find turkish one of the easiest languages to pronounce.

As a Turkish person, the ‘soft g’ should make the vowel before it longer and more emphasised, not like a j
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.
@@SrConstantinoplait makes the vowels longer in those words too
@@galaxyfan7883 not really. ğ has a distinct sound.
@@ozanmrcan Ğ’nin ses karşılığı yok, konuşurken videoda dendiği gibi gırtlaktan bir ses falan çıkarılmıyor direkt sesli harfleri uzatarak konuşuyorsun.

omg brasilian girl is almost pronounced every word correctly ahhaha:)
Irmak is perfect example of real and generally Türkiye's Turkish girls look like. 😊
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
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.
american lady did alright but brazilian lady just near perfect when she hears the real way to say 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!
What the heck are the last 3 words? 😅
Never heard of any of them
Julia was great, and Genesia as well. Wish they tried "Çekoslavakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdan mısınız?" :). great one, thanx.

Yessss i love these videos abt turkish language
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.
For the sunflower seed; it could be added that it means moonflower in turkish :)
y'all know that Turkish language is the strongest on mid-Asian territory 🌟
as a turkish person i can agree that my least favorite lesson is turkish
@@Pary_alt Türkçe dersi en gereksiz 2. ders bence (sayısal dersler 1. sırada)
"mid-Asian" 😑
I definitely like the Brazilian girl! Don't mind if she speaks French to me all night long.
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.
I really like this channel because they don't exclude Turkey
I'm Turkish and I could hear accent differences clearly but i loved their efforts and they were not that bad 👌🏻
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.
The good thing about turkish is that you dont have to worry about same letters having different pronounciations
Thats why we have extra letters like ç or ş; since we ch and sh doesnt change their sounds
So for example you dont see "pacific ocean" and go "what the heck all of the c's are different" instead we have "pasifik okyanusu"
(But if it was read the same the ocean part would be changed with oşın instead of okyanusu)
The soft g, "ğ", basically makes the vowel before it longer! Its like the german ss, "ß", which makes a double ss sound!
the soft g "ğ" is not pronounced, it's not coming back of your throat, it doesn't sound like y or nothing.
"ğ" makes the the vowel in front of it longer. you can't use it next to a consonant.
also, in the first example, there is a -what we called a hatted a-. This letter doesn't belong in our alphabet but the old words have them (only on i and a) and the vowel's with hat has no different pronounciation, it makes the constononant in front of it sounds different. You can check on the dictionary to hear it (for it's example i can give you "kar" one k sounds different and means snow and when it pronounced different, means profit) hope that helps!
Turkcede yumusak G önceki hecedeki sesin uzatılması şeklinde telaffuz edilir. Yani fonatik olarak bir ses üretimi barındırmaz, daha çok bir sesin uzatılmasını sağlayan bir mekanizma görevi görür. Kagit orneginde mesela yumusak G'nin gorevi ondan once gelen A harfini uzatip I harfini de dusurur. Yani aslinda ka:at diye okunur. En azindan dogrusu bu sekilde
Iğdır olmalıydı. Yabancılar en çok içinde ı ve ğ olan sözleri söylerken zorlanıyorlar.

1:29 level of "accent" instead of "pronunciation"
6:04 it's sunflower seed. Ayçiçeği is sunflower, çekirdeği is seed (of). Because çekirdek is seed, and the "i" at the end is means "of" but it's slient.
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 difference 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.
As a turkish 🇹🇷girly Julia did the best good try to the others too❤
i am a turk and they pronounced some of the words PERFECTLY, im glad turkish is getting more attention
I love how almost ALL of these have "ğ" or in it because it is objectively the hardest letter to pronounce
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.
I was waiting this word "muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine"
Actually soft g is not a letter. Mostly it makes vowels longer coming before or after the soft g. So thats easy
Hello from Turkey, now try to pronounce Türkiye 🇹🇷
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
NE MUTLU TÜRKÜM DİYENE🇹🇷
As a Turk , I say that Julia's accent is very good but o and ö is very diffirent words
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.
Julia is the smarter one than all of them 🤍
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.
I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 look ğüçö
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
"Ayçiçeği Çekirdeği" is never used by the public. We say "ayçekirdeği" or if you are from İzmir, you say "Çiğdem".
Most people in Turkiye pronounce "kâğıt" wrongly. It is normal for foreigners.
🇧🇷 Julia orgulho do Brasil
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
2:52 that was the most natural Göçmen pronunciation ever what the heck... for reference Im turkish
As a Turkish person
I like it
As a turkish girl, its easy after you learn the dotted letters! İ mean, there are words even i can’t pronounse in turkish ;-;
