| Herkese merhaba. Ben Seda. Welcome to turkishClass101.com. Nasılsınız? Umarım keyfiniz yerindedir. |
| Today we will be talking about the top 10 websites in Turkey. First of all I will give you the list for top 10 but most of them are the websites that probably you know very well so I will add a couple of local ones at the end, OK ? |
| The first one is Google which I'm sure you are familiar with. It is the most used search Google engine in Turkey I can say we don't use a lot a local Turkish search engine at all but there's a local Google in the list which is “google.com.tr” uh so you can check it out it's the eighth most used website so Google takes two places in the list and one and eight. |
| The second one is |
| YouTube |
| YouTube is widely used in Turkey although YouTube is not a Turkish site there are a lot of Turkish creators and YouTubers out there go find them and check them out and speak uh practice your Turkish and I have a info on YouTube it was forbidden to visit YouTube couple of years ago of course youngsters found a way to pass through the ban through VPN and it lifted the ban was lifted up to some point I don't know I don't remember why anyway. |
| the third one is Facebook |
| Facebook |
| Facebook although Facebook is lost its popularity among young people it is still the most used social platform in Turkey older adults like like to hang out on Facebook play games you know chat with friends and share pictures and of course there are young people and different groups in Facebook Facebook but uh the main users are generally older adults and the fourth one is |
| Twitter |
| Twitter Twitter is one of the alternative mediums in Turkey. Especially young people use it to share political views criticism of the government and create social awareness uh awareness on |
| some social uh events. |
| And the fifth one Instagram is Instagram I think similarly in around the world Instagram used to be a platform to share personal pictures but now it's more like an advertising platform to give links share goods or promote businesses of course there are a lot of regular accounts but each day Instagram in Turkey is becoming something to do with becoming an influencer or selling or promoting stuff. |
| So the sixth one is Trendyol. This one is a Turkish platform. Yay it is something like Amazon but not exactly you can order anything from Trendyol regular goods clothes electronics books Etc and groceries even cooked food whatever you want to buy you can find it in Trendyol. |
| sounded like an advertisement though. anyway the seventh one is |
| Yandex yandex.com.tr Yandex is both used as a search engine and also is a very popular |
| Navigation app navigational tool in Turkey. The eighth one eight one is as I've said |
| before Google turkey so I passed this one quickly. The next one is hurriyet.com.tr if you read the newspaper Hurriyet since 1948 and the site is the online version of that newspaper it's a free |
| website so you don't need to pay anything and there's not much to talk about other than saying it's a newspaper the last one the third one is Eba.com.tr. Eba is Education Platform an official online education platform from K to 12 levels the site is used widely through pandemic turkey had to close the schools and this platform is how it continued the education. OK. guys that's the 10 of the websites let's give you some extra |
| Edevlet |
| EGovernment is the government's official site it literally means e-government you can do most of your government paperwork here. You need to have a national ID and official password you can follow almost everything like your education work retirement information your health information you can even follow the last tests you took at a hospital at every official record about you, you can keep track on this site. It's very important if you are living in Turkey. |
| Another one is sahibinden.com this site is a special good for real estate and you can check |
| out the houses per rent or for sale cars and other stuff and you can also buy services in this site and the other two is hepsiburada.com &N11. Aaah they are similar in purpose so if you want to buy something from Turkey you can check these sites as well these are similar with Trendyol so I think that's it yeah uh of course there are so much more but I already passed the limit of our topic which was 10 websites, 10 most used websites in Turkey so you can there are some sites that you can check out which ones are the most most used 10, most used 20, most used 50 if you are curious about this kind of stuff if you are not just check out this |
