| POST |
| John: Listen again to Cansu's post. |
| Selin: Abla-kardeş alışverişteyiz. |
| John: "The sisters have gone shopping." |
| Selin: (SLOW) Abla-kardeş alışverişteyiz. (Regular) Abla-kardeş alışverişteyiz. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "elder sister and younger sibling." |
| Selin: Abla-kardeş. Abla means “elder sister” and kardeş means “sibling.” |
| John: Since we don’t know the gender of the younger sibling, this expression can be used for elder sister and brother, too. In our case it's two sisters. Listen again - "elder sister - younger sibling" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) abla-kardeş (REGULAR) abla-kardeş |
| John: Then comes the phrase "We have gone shopping." |
| Selin: alışverişteyiz. Alışveriş means “shopping” and alışverişte means “during shopping.” |
| John: The -yiz at the end is the suffix for 1st person plural with the buffer consonant "y." Note that the vowels in suffixes may change according to Turkish vowel harmony rules. Listen again - "We have gone shopping" is... |
| Selin: (SLOW) alışverişteyiz (REGULAR) alışverişteyiz |
| John: All together, it's "The sisters have gone shopping." |
| Selin: Abla-kardeş alışverişteyiz. |
