23rd of April is a holiday in Turkey. The holiday is about National Independence and Kids Holiday. The only Holiday on Earth dedicated to kids by our leader “ATATÜRK”.
What makes this day special is: from all over the world kids comes to Turkey, stay with Turkish families, have friends from every nations and show their national dances in the national TV.
You may check TRT1 if you have satellites.
HAPPY KIDS HOLIDAYS to everyone who still has a kid soul inside!
Since i started this blog it passed more than a year already. And i hope you have developed your Turkish more than you want to. You have learned many things esp about grammar and tenses.
For those who are following my blog i suggest you to go back and study from time to time. To make things fresh in memory. And have the habit to learn 3 words a day. Just 3 words.

Hei Folks,
Ready for another lesson? Today we gonna talk about time. How to ask the time? and how to learn the time?
saat : watch:hour
Let’s see!!
Saatiniz var mı ? Do you have a watch?
Saat kaç? What is the time?
Saat bir : it is 1 o’clock
Saat oniki : it is 12 o clock.
Saat oniki yirmiüç : it 12:23
Saat biri beş geçiyor : it is 5 past 1
saat onikiyi beş geçiyor : it is5 past 12
saat bire beş var. : it is 5 minutes to 1
saat onikiye beş var : it is 5 minutes to 12
saat yarım : it is 12:30
saat oniki buçuk : it is half past 12
saat onikiyi çeyrek geçiyor : it is quarter past 12
saat onikiye çeyrek var : it is quarter to 12
The idea is simple “var” is used with “hour + e”
“geçiyor” is used with “hour+i”
Put some times and read them in the comments section!

Hei folks,
A friend of mine wrote a hangman for Turkish. If you want to try here is the link Turkish Hangman.
I hope you enjoy and find it useful.
Mert…
Hei folks,
Thank god for making Turkish really an easy language. It has been a long time since my last post. Since that i have worked very hard, we have celebrated sacrifice holiday in Turkey. but i was so occupied with my East Europe tour. Visited Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.
Can you believe that i was not able to say thank you in Polish? This is why i thank for Turkish. .)
Today i am gonna talk about if (eğer) clauses. To make a if clause
-eğer güzel ise ben de alacağım. (if it is nice i will buy it too)
the idea is to use -ise.
If : Eğer
yakışıklıysa or yakışıklı ise is used with subjectives
koşacaksan is used with verbs.
Eğer polonyaya gidecekseniz yanınıza euro almaya gerek yok. - If you will go to poland there is no need to take euro with you.
Eğer seviyorsan arkasından gitmelisin. - if you love her you should go after her. (I am so romantic today lol )
-Eğer geleceksen bana haber ver : <——TRANSLATE this own your own.
Geldiysen kapıyı çal<——- TRANSLATE this own your own.
Create some if clauses in the comments so i can correct them.
To all those people who are following my Turkish blog…
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
I wish all of you a merry christmas and a happy new year. (MUTLU YILLAR) I hope 2009 will be the best year you will ever had and hope you can speak Turkish this year. 
With hugs and kisses.

In Turkish, ‘thing’ is translated as ‘şey’ and you will see this word in many sentences.
You can understand this word very easily, if you know the function of the word ‘thing’ in your language.
In your own Turkish sentences, just remember: all the combinations with ‘şey’ are always written seperate! or lets say “leave a space between ‘şey’ and the other word(s)”
If you make a mistake, you don’t have to worry! Even most of the Turks are confused by some of the Turkish words about how they are written correctly. For example, if you ask a Turk which is true: ‘bir şey’ OR ‘birşey’, you will see the puzzled faces and most probably they would say “I’m confused about this alot of times too” lol you must think it’s a joke but as a matter of fact it is NOT!
So you should feel like that this topic will be helpful for all learners of Turkish who are confused by the use of the media or resources where they find.
Here we go with the most used examples:
- hiçbir şey = nothing
- herhangi bir şey = anything
- birkaç şey = a few thing
- bazı şeyler = somethings
- bir şey = one thing
- her şey = everything, all things
- tek şey = the only thing
- merak ettiğim şey = the thing I wonder
- çok şey = many things
- az şey = little, small, little bit thing
- daha çok şey = more things
- daha az şey = less things
If you write what you wonder about, then later on we will have a very big list about this little word.

As i promised to my fellow reader today i am gonna teach you present tense in Turkish.
Yeah i hear you some people yelling “we already learned present tense” . Yes you are right but it was present continous tense.
Gelmek: to come
Gel+ir+im : I come
Gel+ir+sin : You come
gel+ir : he/she/it comes
Gel+ir+iz : we come
gel+ir+siniz : you come
gel+ir+ler : they come
The best way to give an example to this tense is your habbits. You get up at 8 and go to work at 9 etc.
Ex: 8′de uyanirim ve 9′da işe giderim.
try some phrases ,verbs in the comments section.
