Hi

The scripts I wrote were the 'formal' way of speaking to someone your don't know very well, just like in French or German. I had put it was the polite form on one of the questions but didn't follow it through with the rest. Sorry - I just tried to keep it simple!! I'll post in a table of endings, so you can see what ending to put on the end for each person. However, its quite complicated for people that haven't learnt languages before and are not familiar with the formal and informal ways of addressing people.

Shall we try these out on the chat room? Can we make a date of Friday at 7pm??? UK time that is. I'll put my next lesson on after that!

See you Friday!

 :) I find it easier to write it as I would say it,which is no where near the Turkish spelling, but helps me to remember. ;)

Nice topic LoubyLou,and also the information on how to reset typing to Turkish.I do believe that any person who goes to another country should at least try and learn some basic language of the host country.Gurusuruz..Will try to reset my computer.Hosca kalin.

The turkish I (without the dot) is not pronounced like the u in umbrella. Rather more like the i in bird. Sorry if i'm being a little pedantic!! Also you forgot the "ne" after "sizin adiniz".

you dont even need to say the sizin as you are actually saying it in adiniz but you should be saying ne after it.

It would be useful if the phonetic could be put along side the turkish word/phrase so that we would learn how to pronounce it too
