Lesson Transcript

Selam arkadaşlar, ben Zehra. Hi everybody! I’m Zehra.
Welcome to TurkishClass101.com’s “3 dakikada Türkçe”. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Turkish.
In the last lesson we learned how to count liras. Did you practice at home?
In this lesson, we're going to learn other useful tips to talk about your schedule - for example, if a friend asks you "What are you doing this weekend?"
Let’s start!
To ask a friend or someone you already know, you say:
Bu hafta sonu ne yapıyorsun?
[slowly] Bu hafta sonu ne yapıyorsun?
Let’s break it down.
Bu → is "this".
hafta sonu → is "weekend".
ne → is "what".
and
yapıyorsun → is "you are doing".
If you want to ask the same question in a formal way, simply replace ‘yapıyorsun’ with ‘yapıyorsunuz’
Bu hafta sonu ne yapıyorsunuz?
[slowly] Bu hafta sonu ne yapıyorsunuz?
Adding -uz to the end of the verbs will give your sentences a formal feeling when addressing other people.
What if you’re not asking about this weekend?
Asking about a different time period is as easy as replacing Bu hafta sonu.
Tomorrow is yarın. So you can also say Yarın ne yapıyorsun? What are you doing tomorrow? Or, you could also put in a weekday, like Pazartesi, "Monday" or Pazar, which is "Sunday".
Pazartesi ne yapıyorsun?
Pazar ne yapıyorsun?
So now, if someone asks *you* Yarın ne yapıyorsun?, or "What are you doing tomorrow?", how can you answer?
Here's an example: Ofise gidiyorum. "I'm going to the office." gidiyorum means "I'm going", and ofise means "to the office". Feel free to replace "office" with any other location!
Now it’s time for Zehra’s Insights.
In some situations, the question Ne yapıyorsun? can also mean more generally "What do you do?" or "What is your job?"
This is a really common question you can ask, or that you might be asked the first time you meet someone.
In this lesson we learned how to talk about your schedule. Next time we’ll talk about how to tell people your nationality. I’ll be waiting for you in our next 3 Dakikada Türkçe lesson.
Görüşmek üzere!
