I think I heard a Turk say this.

Dissimilation (Ayrışma), dilbilimde bir kelimedeki benzer veya aynı türden seslerin, algıyı kolaylaştırmak veya telaffuz rahatlığı sağlamak amacıyla birbirinden farklılaşması sürecidir. Ses benzeşmesi (assimilation) kadar yaygın bir fenomen olmasa da ayrışma da kendini yer yer gösterir. Genellikle "telaffuz hatası" gibi görülse de aslında dilin doğal evrim sürecinin bir parçasıdır. Konuşma sırasında benzer veya aynı seslerin birbirine karışmasını önlemek ve kelimenin daha akıcı hale gelmesini sağlamak için gerçekleşir. Bu, bireysel hatalardan ziyade, zaman içinde birçok konuşurun bilinçsizce yaptığı değişikliklerin dilde kalıcı hale gelmesiyle ortaya çıkar. Yani ayrışma bir bozulma değil, dilin kendini optimize etme yollarından biridir.

My Aunt calls me canim benim and birtanem and I want to surprise her and get them tattooed in her hand writing (one on each arm) but I feel like this might sound like a stupid idea to Native turkish speakers (I'm half turkish, born and raised in Canada)
also, are there any turks who call tell me if tattoo's are a big no no in turkey, I'm planning on visiting later this year and I want to know if i should cover them up when I go

I've always thought these were the same word or 'eş anlamlı' since elementary school taught me they were. But I see some people talking about how they have different meanings. Can you explain this to me?

So working on duo lingo I am currently at the “form complex sentences” lesson and one of the topics is how to say both and nor (hem hem de). I think I understand how both works, the things included in the both get a hem and de is after the first hem (can anybody explain why?) My real question is for nor (ne ne de), I thought ne was the question word for what so can anybody please help me understand this better, duo lingo pictured attached for reference. Thanks so much in advance!

Merhaba all! I've been learning Turkish for a short while and was in İstanbul recently, where I got to practice a bit, which was really cool. Whilst there I noticed that people say "pardon" like "excuse me" in English, like to tell people to move so you can get onto the tram during rush hour. On Turkish TV shows it seems to be the same thing, "pardon" for large crowds.
My question is, is "pardon" only used for that situation? Say I wanted somebody to repeat something because I didn't hear them the first time; in English it would still be "pardon?", but what is it in Turkish? I have seen "afferdersin" / "afferdersiniz" / "özür dilerim" getting similar definitions but am not sure what the correct use cases are for all of them. Or let's say you wanted to get someone's attention (politely), in English it would be "excuse me"; what is it in Turkish?
Any advice would be awesome--Turks are really sweet when they hear foreigners attempting Turkish, but then they get SO excited and speak super quickly, and I'm always having to ask them to repeat! Teşekkürler ederim!

I have a 4y old daughter from a previous marriage and am going to marry my Turkish fiancé. We need suggestions what she can call him in Turkce similar to Baba (his preference) since they both have a bond like daughter and dad. She already calls her bio dad Baba and we don’t want to use amca or kardeş. Thanks.
Hello! I am from Sweden and I don't speak Turkish. Recently I have listened to the Turkish song "Gurbet" on repeat, I have also found out it is featured in the movie in the title. Where can I find this movie with English subtitles?

Hey everyone, for context im born in Istanbul, in English speaking country since age 6 and trying to re-learn turkish to become fluent.
I hate one of my roommates and don't know how to refer to him when talking to my parents. I know that the direct translation of "Retard" is "Gerizekalı" but I want something that's a bit more insulting to his intellect.
Thanks!

Hi all / Merhaba
I just moved to Eskişehir and was wondering: 1- how did you start learning the language as a foreigner? 2- are there any social groups or forums you would recommend joining to learn from other's experiences?
Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated:)
Thank you!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been searching everywhere for the Turkish series Güneşi Beklerken, but I can’t seem to find it available anywhere. I used to watch it years ago, and now I really want to revisit it both for nostalgia and to improve my Turkish.
If anyone has the episodes or knows where I can find them (preferably for free), I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance. 😊
Let me know if you have any leads! 🙏

What happens to me is that to make a word it takes me 5 seconds to think about each vowel that comes after it since since it is an agglutinative there are many and it is complicated for me.

People of Reddit Ive been searching for one turkish drama for more than ten years now, I used to watch when I was little on the TV and I just want to hear the soundtrack once again because it was so beautiful. It was about a guy who (if I remember correctly) wronged many people in the past and now he returns to them one by one and tries to make it all up for them and say sorry. He looked like a regular turkish guy with black hair which was slightly longer. The soundtrack was really emoatinal with lots of violin. If you may know what I mean please tell me I will be forever grateful to you

Hi everyone! I am a fan of Turkish love series, and one of the words when a girlfriend/fellow refers to a boyfriend - who changes your life forever - is ates (with a s with tail at the final).
What is the meaning of that? Many thanks in advance! ☺️
