TSR Turkish Society

It's the 'finest' I can afford right now >_>

The tenth man of S

What's all that about? Please tell me there aren't 9 more of you.

2) The few ones that do seem to only post about food.

This, despite being a sizable minority population in the UK. There is a lot of talk in the media about how Black Britons underperform in education, but Turkish Britons tend to do even worse. A lack of educational achievement usually correlates with a lack of educational interest, so Turkish Britons are unlikely to flock to TSR in their numbers.

Little to no one here care that Galatasaray have been drawn with Chelsea, and Trabzonspor with Juventus;

the corruption scandal that is going on in Turkey's parliament; Turkey's involvement in Syria; its inclusion in MINT; nor share experiences of trips to Turkey; the history of the Ottoman Empire, Great Seljuk Empire, the Gokturk Empire; the linguistics of Turkish and its connections with the other Turkic and Altaic languages;....

...No, it's kebap. It's only ever about kebap!

Maybe there are It was an old saying insprised by someone

Is it based on the idea that when nine people agree on something, it’s the tenth man’s responsibility to disagree no matter how improbable the idea is?

Is this a parenting fail?

I knew GS would get Chelsea.

Society chats tend to be more social I suppose...

...though I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the bold matter

Also, look at the society description you wrote

Join us Turks here

Guys, quick question, but be honest please, If non Turk (but Turkish speaking) heard you speaking Turkish and came up to you and said hi, what would you think??

I saw few Turks around the uni, I really wanted to go to them, say hi, but then they might think differently and I end up embarrassing myself.

There is no Turkish society in my uni btw

No, I think that Turkish parents place paramount importance unto education. It's not so much to do with the culture of those who actually hail from Turkey, but rather it is more to do with the chav-esque nature of Turkish youth in this country which is somewhat problematic.



I think Mourinho got there first.



You mean 'more shallow'?



I am embarrassed to admit that I do not feel I know enough about the matter to make an educated comment on it.



'Does that kebab need some more chilli sauce? If so, then why not come in here and I'll add in some salad too.'





Who's that, your boyfriend?



I'd think 'oh, a fellow Turk with whom I can breed...hello '



What's so embarrassing about saying 'hi'? They'd only be grateful. You need to stop being so self concious and act like a man!



Maybe we go to the same uni...

I'll try, next time when i see turkish girls, I'll go to them and say hi!

Boys need love too.

Turkish boys are attractive enough to receive it without any trouble

Who's that, your boyfriend?

Usually, yes

Pity most are chavs



No, but he calls me mysterygirl and wants to know where I live



I'd say hi back

Why the interest in Turkish women?

Also, how comes you know how to speak Turkish?

Too bad the women let us down...





I believe she's Azeri, so she probably speaks Azerbaycan Türkçesi.

true true, but I speak turkish too, A* from A levels proud... but when I am nervous I will mix up azerbaijani to turkish

Most people can understand turkish in azerbaijan, but cannot speak, unless they have satellite where they can watch turkish drama 24/7

I got an A, so that's quite commendable (or I just did very poorly).



Well, we have 'Azeri TV' in Turkey. I remember watching 'A Knight's Tale' dubbed in Azerbaycan Türkçesi and I understood the vast majority of it. The pattern seems to be that you replace the 'b' with the 'm', so you say 'menim' instead of 'benim', for instance. As well as 'yakşı' instead of 'iyi', 'çox' instead of 'çok', etc. But I imagine that with a bit of time and dedication a Turkish speaker could learn Azeri without too much trouble, and vice versa (not to take away from your own achievement).

We have the letter ğ with sounds completely different to your ğ

...[discussion of] the linguistics of Turkish and its connections with the other Turkic and Altaic languages...

Interesting, I never knew about this before and I just looked it up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%9E
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_fricative

In the second article it mentions that although the sound is deleted in most Turkish dialects (which indicates that it exists in some). After listening to the demonstrative recording I think I actually know someone from Cyprus who pronounces the ğ something like that.

Istanbul Turkish, I think, is a very easy language. Incredibly few complications per se.



Booyakasha!

Also, another fact if you are interested, we never start a word with ğ like ı
