( Orhan is a teacher too.)<\/p>\n<p>In Turkish, vowel harmony is the key. The sound changes according to the last syllable\u2019s vowel.<\/p>\n<p>a, \u0131, o, u : They are a group and they go together.<br \/>\ne, i, \u00f6, \u00fc : Second group and yes they go together too.<\/p>\n<p>No worries I will explain this in the following lessons but for now just put these vowel combinations in your mind because we will use them a lot. We will use them when we make a plural which is the next lesson.<\/p>\n<p>(I know it sound confusing but once you get used to the sound and how this magical language works, you will be changing the vowels without thinking, it all comes naturally)<\/p>\n<p>Selamlama (Greetings)<\/p>\n<p>Merhaba\t: Hello<br \/>\nSelam\t\t: Hi<br \/>\n\u0130yi g\u00fcnler\t: Have a nice day!<br \/>\nG\u00fcnayd\u0131n\t: Good morning<br \/>\nT\u00fcnayd\u0131n\t: Good afternoon<br \/>\n\u0130yi ak\u015famlar\t: Good evening<br \/>\n\u0130yi geceler\t: Good night<br \/>\nHo\u015f\u00e7akal\t: Good-bye<br \/>\nNe haber?\t: What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish Lesson 2 TANI\u015eMA Sezen : Merhaba, Ben Sezen.
