| Turkish Survival Phrases, Lesson 2: Say "You're welcome" in Turkish. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| In this lesson, we'll continue to learn more phrases that will help you with basic etiquette. Turkish people are very hospitable. They use phrases of gratitude quite often. Even though you may not get the chance to use Bir şey değil, the phrase for "You're welcome," during your trip to Turkey, there's a very good chance you'll hear it. So, let's have a closer look at it! |
| In Turkish, "You're welcome" is Bir şey değil. Let's break it down. Bir şey de-ğil. Once more, Bir şey değil. Literally, this means "nothing at all." |
| The word Şey means "thing." Şey. And, when you place Bir in front of it, it can mean "something." Bir şey. Bir şey. |
| The verb Değil means "not." Değil. Değil. And, it changes the word "something" into the word "nothing." Bir şey değil. Bir şey değil. |
| You can also respond to someone who has thanked you by using Rica ederim. This means "You are welcome." Rica ederim. |
| Let's break it down. Ri-ca e-de-rim. And, once more, Rica ederim. |
| The first word, Rica, means "request." Ri-ca. Rica. The second word, ederim, means "to give." |
| Altogether, that's Rica ederim. Rica ederim. |
| You might sometimes hear Sorun değil, which means "No problem." Sorun değil, |
| Let's break it down, So-run de-ğil. Once more, Sorun değil. |
| This phrase starts with the word Sorun, which means "problem." So-run. Sorun. Next, we have Değil, meaning "not." Değil, Değil, |
| Again, the whole phrase is Sorun değil. Sorun değil, |
| You can emphasize Sorun değil by adding Hiç, which means literally "at all." Hiç. Hiç. |
| You could say Hiç sorun değil, "No problem at all," a stronger expression than just Sorun değil. Hiç so-run de-ğil. Hiç sorun değil. |
| Remember, Bir şey değil means "It's nothing" or "Not at all." Sorun değil means "No problem." |
| And, Rica ederim means "You're welcome." |
| Of the expressions we have seen, please keep in mind that you can use Rica ederim and Bir şey değil in any situation, formal or informal, while Sorun değil tends to be used in more informal occasions. |
