| Hi everyone. I am Selin from TurkishClass101.com. Herkese merhaba! |
| Today, we will be talking about 10 Questions You Should Know. Okay, let’s start with the most basic one. |
| 1. Adın ne? |
| “What's your name?” |
| Benim adım Selin. |
| Senin adin ne? |
| “My name is Selin.” |
| “What’s your name?” |
| 2. Nasılsın? |
| “How are you?” |
| I think it is important to know this sentence because we usually ask each other how are you, how is it going? So please know that one. |
| Nasılsın? Ben iyiyim. Sen nasilsin? |
| “I am good. How are you?” |
| 3. Nerelisin? |
| “Where are you from?” |
| Especially Turkish grandmothers, they ask a lot about this question because like of course not the country. I mean the city. |
| “Where are you from? Which city?” |
| Like because they want to know everything, right? So I am sure you will hear this phrase a lot if you go Turkey. |
| Nerelisin? Nerelisin? |
| “Where are you from?” |
| Ben Antalyaliyim. Sen nerelisin? |
| “I am from Antalya. Where are you from?” |
| 4. Doğum günün ne zaman? |
| “When is your birthday?” |
| Benim doğum günüm 16 Ağustos. |
| “My birthday is August 16th. |
| Senin doğum günün ne zaman? |
| “When is your birthday?” |
| 5. Nerede yaşıyorsun? |
| “Where do you live?” |
| Ben Antalya’da yaşıyorum. |
| Sen nerede yaşıyorsun? |
| “I live in Antalya. Where do you live?” |
| 6. Nerede çalışıyorsun? |
| “Where do you work?” |
| The next one is Nerede çalışıyorsun? |
| “Where do you work?” |
| Ben otelde çalışıyorum. |
| Sen nerede çalışıyorsun? |
| “I work in a hotel. Where do you work?” |
| 7. Telefon numaran ne? |
| “What's your phone number?” |
| Telefon numaran ne? |
| “What is your phone number?” |
| Well, don’t expect from me to say my phone number. But actually, if you want to become friend with a Turkish person, then you ask like after some chat, you ask the phone number usually right like “what is your phone number?” So we can talk. |
| But nowadays, I think people usually ask, do you have Facebook or do you have WhatsApp, like this. |
| And you can ask in Turkish like this. |
| Facebook kullaniyor musun? |
| WhatsApp kullaniyor musun? |
| It means, like, “do you have Facebook?” “Are you using Facebook?” |
| I think it’s more natural nowadays to say in Turkish if you want to become friends with someone. |
| 8. Türkçeyi nerede öğrendin? |
| “Where did you learn Turkish?” |
| Türkçe benim anadilim. Sen Türkçeyi nerede öğrendin? |
| “Turkish is my mother tongue.” “Where did you learn Turkish?” |
| Çok güzel konuşuyorsun. |
| “You speak very well.” |
| 9. Türk yemeklerini seviyor musun? |
| “Do you like Turkish food?” |
| Evet, Türk yemeklerini seviyorum, en çok sarmayi seviyorum. |
| “Yes, I like Turkish food, and my favorite is sarma.” |
| Do you know Sarma? Sarma is like cabbage roll or grape roll. So you stuff and wrap like leaves and you put meat or rice inside. It’s a very delicious Turkish food. |
| Türk yemeklerini seviyor musunuz? |
| En sevdiğiniz Türk yemeği ne? |
| “What is your favorite Turkish food?” |
| 10. Kaç yaşındasın? |
