Getting off the dolmus

Makes sense to me Steve- thanks- though whether I'll remember it the next time is doubtful!! We did Turkish lessons, spent a fortune and can pronounce the letters of the alphabet perfectly - especially that funny g! Its been enormous help- not! At least we tried....

I have been listening to what the locals in Marmaris say when they want to get off the dolmus. I have no idea what is means but it sounds like

Moo Side Bee Ide Em,

I am too frightened to say it, in case it comes out wrong and I end up saying something insulting.

So I stick with STOP PLEASE

I am Turkish and I don't know what 'bu site bir yerde' means! If I were you I would stick to:'inecek var lutfen'.

You can also add 'burada' (here), or 'durakta' (at the stop), or 'gelecek durakta' (at the next stop) Examples:

Burada inecek var lutfen
Durakta inecek var lutfen
Gelecek durakta inecek var lutfen.

Hope this helps.

Oh I think I know what you mean now by 'bu site bir yerde' !!!

I think what you are trying to say is 'müsait bir yerde'. Which literally means:
(I'd like to get off) somewhere convenient!!!!!! So you say:

'müsait bir yerde lütfen'

we have been using the dolmus almost every day for the last two years and we always say what sounds like "side bir yarde". Whch we assumed meant we would like to get off at the nearest stop.

Yes, that's right but it is actually 'Müsait bir yerde'.
