| Turkish Survival Phrases, Lesson 45: "Do you have an English guide?" in Turkish. |
| In this lesson, we will introduce you to a crucial phrase for you travelers who are interested in learning more about the tourist attractions you're going to visit. Learning about the history and the cultural significance of places you visit can be as rewarding as seeing them. So now, we will cover "Do you have an English information guide?" |
| In Turkish, "Do you have an English information guide?" is İngilizce broşürünüz var mı acaba? Let's break it down: İn-gi-liz-ce bro-şü-rü-nüz var mı a-ca-ba? Once more, İngilizce broşürünüz var mı acaba? |
| The first word, İngilizce means English. İn-gi-liz-ce. İngilizce. Next, we have Broşürünüz, which means "information guide." Bro-şü-rü-nüz. Broşürünüz. This is followed by Var mı, which means "is there" or "do you have." Var mı. Var mı. The last word, Acaba, means "I wonder." A-ca-ba. Acaba. |
| All together, we have İngilizce broşürünüz var mı acaba? İngilizce broşürünüz var mı acaba? This sentence refers to a pamphlet at the entrance of the museum. |
| To ask for a guide in a different language, we can just replace the word for "English" with the word for any other language and it works just fine. Let's try "French" in Turkish. |
| "Do you have a French information guide?" is Fransızca broşürünüz var mı acaba? Fran-sız-ca bro-şü-rü-nüz var mı a-ca-ba? Fransızca broşürünüz var mı acaba? |
| The only thing that changes is the language you are looking for. In this case, it's Fransızca. Fran-sız-ca. Fransızca. |
| Let's try now with a Japanese guide! It's not so unlikely to find an information guide in Japanese because Turkey is very popular among Japanese tourists all year round. Japanese here will be Japonca. Ja-pon-ca. Japonca. |
| "Do you have a Japanese information guide?" is Japonca broşürünüz var mı acaba? Ja-pon-ca bro-şü-rü-nüz var mı a-ca-ba? Japonca broşürünüz var mı acaba? |
