| Hi, everyone! It's Selin, and today, we’re going to do Turkish Weekly Words! |
| And I’m going to be teaching you some useful Turkish words that you can use in your daily life. So, let’s start! |
| So today’s topic is hobbies. |
| In turkish, actually we also say “hobby,” so it’s really close. |
| I like to talk about my hobbies, actually. I have so many hobbies, I’m so proud of it. |
| Let’s see the first word. |
| 1. çizmek "to draw" |
| I’m really bad at drawing, but let me give you a good example about it. |
| Resim çizmeyi çok seviyorum. "I really like drawing pictures." |
| resim çizmek is ”drawing a picture" |
| resim is “a picture” |
| Resim çizmeyi çok seviyorum. Yeah, I really like drawing pictures, but since I’m really bad at it, I just don’t draw anything. |
| 2. nette sörf yapmak "to surf the net" |
| nette is “net,” as well, in Turkish. |
| sörf is “surf,” I think it’s pretty close. |
| And yapmak is like “to do,” the activity itself. So, nette sörf yapmak. |
| Her gün nette sörf yapıyorum. It’s ”I’m surfing the net everyday." |
| Of course I’m not doing that, it’s not true, but… |
| 3. bir müzik aleti çalmak "to play a musical instrument" |
| I really like that, because I can also play something. I can play piano, so I’m gonna give an example about it. |
| Ben piano çalıyordum. It means ”I used to play the piano." (in the past) |
| 4. satranç oynamak "to play chess" |
| I did that too. |
| satranç oynamak, but of course, you should speak fast, right? So you should say satranç oynamak. I know you can do it. |
| I used to play chess, actually, when I was in middle school. I was really bad at it too. |
| I don’t know why, I was really bad at everything. I tried… |
| Anyway, if you want to ask "Do you play chess?" |
| Then you go, like, satranç oynar mısın? |
| 5. yüzmek "to swim" |
| Yay! It’s my favorite hobby, that’s why I picked it. |
| You can say, like, Havuzda mı yüzersin, denizde mi? |
| "Would you prefer to swim in the pool or the sea?" |
| You can say, like, Havuzda mı yüzersin, denizde mi? |
| Oh well, personally, I prefer the pool. |
| I’m such a princess, maybe. |
