Lesson Transcript

Did you guys get scared of me?
So, herkese merhaba ben Seda.
Hi everybody, my name is Seda.
Welcome to turkishclass101.com.
In this video, maybe you can guess, I will talk about cooking verbs.
Do you guys like cooking?
I do enjoy cooking a lot, especially things from Turkish cuisine.
If you are curious about Turkish cuisine, we have a video about it on this channel.
You can check it out, okay?
Okay, I'll cut my, cut my chit chat short this time.
So, without further ado, let's start with our verbs.
Verbs, verbs, verbs.
Kesmek, let me see.
Cut
Karpuz kesmek çok zor.
It is very hard to cut a watermelon.
Karpuz kesmek çok zor.
It is very hard to cut a watermelon.
This is so funny. I have a thing for watermelons.
Whenever I try to cut it, I find it on the floor.
It somehow always slips out of my hands.
I don't know why.
Dilimlemek
Slice
Ekmeği dilimlemek ister misin?
Would you like to slice the bread?
Slicing doesn't agree with me.
I always end up slicing too thick.
Can you slice nice and thin?
Can you, can you, can you?
Doğramak
Chop
Etleri kuşbaşı doğramalısın.
You should chop the meat in small chunks.
This is actually so funny.
This sentence literally means something like, you should chop the meat bird-head.
I don't know where this idiom comes from, but it sounds kind of barbaric to imagine a bird, you know, bird-heads as a measurement unit.
And I guess since it means in small chunks,
The birds that we are talking about here should be some small types of birds, not something like crows or seagulls.
I don't know.
Bird-heads.
Kuşbaşı.
Anyway.
The next one is
Oymak
Carve
Amerikalılar cadılar bayramında balkabağı oyarlar.
Americans carve pumpkins during Halloween.
In Turkey, we normally do not celebrate Halloween, but nowadays some private foreign schools and people from big cities started to celebrate it.
But since it's not that common in Turkey, kids do not knock on strangers' doors.
And there's generally a party with costumes and there's candy and that's it, nothing much.
It's not exactly like in the States.
So, our next verb is
Kıymak
Mince
Eti kıymadan pişirdim.
I cooked the meat without mincing.
And the next one is
Rendelemek
Grate
Limon kabuğunu rendeleyip, kek karışımının içine kat.
Put the lemon peels in the cake mixture after grating it.
My god, lemon cake with lemon peels is my favorite.
Do you guys like lemony, sour sweets?
I do a lot.
Anyway, the next one is
Eklemek
To add
Yemek pişirirken tuz eklemezsen pek lezzetli olmaz.
If you don't add salt while cooking, it won't be that tasty.
Fırında pişirmek
Bake
Fırında bir şeyler pişirmek bazıları için meditasyondur.
Baking is like meditation for some people.
Çırpmak
Beat
Kek yapmak için yumurtayı çırpmalısın.
You should beat the egg to bake a cake.
Karıştırmak
Mix
Yağ hidrofobik olduğu için su ile karıştıramazsın.
You can mix water and oil since oil is hydrophobic.
Yay, you can’t do it. And an extra note for you guys,
we have a saying
“yağ gibi üste çıkmak”
This literally means to “move higher like oil”
We use this when someone who is faulty acts like not faulty
and as if he or she is right the way he/she acts instead of
just apologizing.
Yeah that was it. Our next word is:
Eritmek
Melt
Tereyağı Benmari tarzı eritmek daha sağlıklıdır
It's healthier to use a double boiler to melt the butter.
Marine etmek
Marinade
Eti sütte marine etmek, onu yumuşatır.
“Marinating the meat in the milk makes it tender.”
Ok, well done guys! Now I have a surprise for you.
I will give a recipe in Turkish and I will ask you to
translate it to English in the comments, OK?
Here we go!
Öncelikle kuşbaşı doğranmış etleri tencerede pişirin.
İçine biraz tuz ve su koyun.
Kuru fasulyeyi bir gece önceden ıslatın.
Ertesi gün tencereye su koyarak, kuru fasulyenizi haşlayın.
Kuru fasulyeyi pişireceğiniz tencereye
küp küp soğanı
doğrayın ve pişirin.
Daha sonra salça ekleyin.
Üzerine fasulye ve etleri ekleyin.
Su ekleyin.
Tencerenin ağzını kapatın ve pişirin.
That’s it! Did you get what I cooked! Can you write it down in Turkish and translate it into English? Is it too hard or too easy ? I don’t know.
Write your translations down there. Ok? If you can…Even if it is not complete, just write what you heard. Or maybe you write one of your own recipes in Turkish. It would be amazing if everyone would share a traditional dish recipe from their country. But in Turkish,OK? not English.
Hope you enjoyed the lesson! I will see you next time. Are you hungry now? I need to go and eat something.
I will see you next time
