@Beyza bacım is very basic but one of the most important words. try to explain "bilmeyiversinler" 🤪
Před 3 lety+146
Be careful with "Kardeşim" because it's also used in a conflict (usually between men) to show that you are getting angry at them or you are very serious about making your point. In this case, the sentence usually starts with the word "Bak kardeşim" (Look, brother) and continues with whatever you have to say.
@@passionfruitfruit I think we use ''Canım'' which means '' Dear or my dear'' more than ''kardeşim'' between girls but you are free to say kardeşim it has no gender
you may hear it as "gardeş" or "gardaş" as well :D it is one of the most popular dialects in turkey. you are likely to hear it in the central anatolia region :)
In India we also use Bhaiya (older brother). Didi (older sister) In exact way, the way Turkish people use Abi and Abla🌸. It's good to know that the culture is almost same. Btw Iyi Akşamlar arkadaş.🙂
Same in Maldives. We say Beybe, Dhatha or Kokko for younger ones. But these days in the city people hardly use this. Sometimes the Modern life takes away the traditional beauty of our communities
Thank so much for explaining in such a wonderful way what we,turkish learners,cannot find in books but is essential to know and properly use in real eveyday life.Çok teşekkür ederim!
In Filipino (tagalog), we call our older brother- Kuya, can also be used to strangers. Older sister- Ate. And in some other Philippine language which is ilocano, younger brother or sister is - Ading. Same like turkey.
merhaba, pakistanliyim 🇵🇰my language is urdu, in urdu we say" bhai"بھائ(for elder brother) "behn بہن "(elder sister) but many words are similer in turkish language and urdu language
Kardeş = Kardaş(yes, kardash, lol) Comes from Karındaş Karın: Belly -daş : of the same soydaş: those who come from the same line of ancestry vatandaş: citizens (of the same country) meslektaş: people of the same profession kardeş: people that come from the same belly(read womb)
In Egypt, we used to say the same words in the past, but they disappeared, except for "abla" that is still present in some schools, which the students say to the female teacher
Kim Kardashian s surname comes from the Turkish word Kardeş (sibling)as her family is Armenian from Turkey,Kars region. l see a lot of Turkish words in many Greek people s surname too.
@@j.cheeverloophole4017 If the strangers are significantly older than you (If you have a huge age difference), you can refer to them as “amca” or “teyze”. You don’t have to know their name. Hope that was helpful🤞🏻
I noticed the use of ağabey/abi when I started watching Hakan: Muhafız to pick up some Turkish (I picked that particular show because the protagonist sort of has the same name as me. The Old Norse name Håkon even means roughly the same as Hakan, and one of the admittedly less convincing theories about it is the names actually share an origin since, according to the Sagas, the Norse gods were warlords and chieftains that came from Anatolia), and the English subtitles usually translated it as "sir", which I guess is often the closest equivalent. My wife is Nigerian, and there - as they also do in many other countries - they say uncle/auntie to someone older than themselves they wish to show respect.
This is exactly what we do in Malay 😂. Informally, we call everyone else how we do with family members. Also, we use abi/abla (-> abang/kakak) for shop assistants too. For adults, its pakcik/makcik (literally -> küçuk baba/k. anne). How are adults informally addressed in Turkish?
Waaow, pakcik and makcik are really creative 😄💯 If we're adressing someone that's at our dad's or mom's agei we say amca(uncle) for males and teyze(aunt) for females
@@Turkishle Ahh, i see. So are dayı and hala not used for strangers? Most people dont know what the -cik part means. Its actually from 'cilik' an old word for small. Just a helpful hint, 'c' in Malay is just like 'ç'.
I'm from Indonesia. Riza is girl's name. Some use it for boy's but there is an additional 'L' at the end "Rizal" then, some use "Reza" both girl and boy ...
@@Secovvv Yeah, Seckin... "Tanjung" is the name of my clan derived from my mother's. not like the whole Indonesian from the father. it's called 'matrilineal. This is from Minangkabau.. do you know about Minangkabaunese from west sumatera, indonesia? and how about you? are you from turkey originally?
Oh in india 🇮🇳 too we call bhaiya to elder male and didi to elder sisters Even term abla is used to women sometimes to depict them as weak or without Authority
@2:38 If you ask directions from a Turk on the street, they will *always* give you directions somewhere, even if they don't really know where it is. They want so much to be helpful, and they think that saying "I don't know" is unhelpful. :)
We also use birader (very similiar to kardesim, brother, bro). But like kardesim, you may use it when you are angry, an argument starter in traffic for example napiyorsun birader or napiyorsun kardesim (what are you doing!). There is also baci which means female sister, this is used more in small cities and rural settings and it is not fashionable among the urban. It has a more restricted usage. Male people use this to denote that they love a female in a non romantic way. Dunya ahiret bacimsin :) (you are my sister in this world and the other :) )
Great video Can :) But I have a question: What about "amca" and "teyze"? Can´t I say that instead of "siz" to a person that is to old to be called "abi"?
Amca- Paternal uncle, brother of your father Teyze- Maternal aunt, sister of your mother You can say "Amca" to older men (that you generally don't know) in daily conversation. For example to an old man that dropped his wallet, you can say "Amca, cüzdanını düşürdün!" The same goes for old women with "teyze" *It is informal.*
It means little sister. But you can hear it from men who is trying to show to woman who is opposite of him that he is not interested about sex with her.
"Öğretmensiniz". Öğretmensiz means teacherless. I know the suffix are very complicated but you are doing a great job. I can understand why you did this mistake you are on right way. Keep going on like this.
It would be good if you could explain the use of "bey", "hatun". "oglum" "kizim" etc.(Sorry, I don't have Turkish alphabet on this laptop) How does an older lady address young people, without being too formal
"Bey" is used for the mans and it's actually a formal and respectfull expression. Both mans and females can use it for the all ages. It's means "Mr." You can use it like "Ali Bey, Ahmet Bey". It's hard to explain "hatun". It is used for the girls and usually between lovers. It is a compliment. Sometimes it's also used between friends when they're talking about their lovers. Like "senin hatun" means "your girlfriend". "Oğlum" means "my son" and "kızım" means "my daughter". Mothers/fathers can call their sons/daughters this way. Or it can used by when an elder man/woman call someone who is younger than them. It is widely used. An old lady can ask an adress like that: "Kızım, gel buraya. Acaba oraya nasıl gidebilirim?". It means "My daughter, come here. How can i get to there?" I hope that i explained it well. Sorry if i have some mistakes in my English.
What is the word to call a girl, sister like in a conversation without caring of her age, because I have witnessed some mind calling them Abla, and I don't think kız kardeşim should be used for direct addressing, so what word should be used for direct addressing?
You can use hanımefendi or hanım with name (ex : Melisa Hanım) but I recommend hanımefendi bcs if you use only hanım without her name that means she is your wife. It is very polite and formal way.
Omg this is so complicated. Yenge you use for the Wife of your Uncles and Brothers wife. Teyze means the sister of your Mother or for old Woman also. Bacım is the same like "kız kardeş", or we use it also if we talk with our Feminine Friends. We have many examples like this. For every Relatives one name 😂
Also if the person is around your parents age or older, you say amca and teyze instead of agabey and abla. You have to be a little bit more careful though, best to keep it to people who are a little bit older than your parents, if they are at your grandparents' age, then certainly. But at the same time these are both respectful and informal, at a formal setting it is better to stick to plural form of you (siz).

I really like that all Turks are like one big family,like they all are relatives.😊
Sameee, I really love this about Turks ❤️❤️
'Bacım' means "my sister". But can also be used for close friends.
"Bacım" means "i have no intentions to date with you, you are just my friends" when a man use it
@@ozencgencmert but i witness many women called "bacım" in time become "karıcım"
@@barisozkaya2710 yeah, it could be a strategy for some men:)
‘Kanka’s and ‘bacım’s turn into ‘aşkım’s and ‘canım’s sometimes
@Beyza bacım is very basic but one of the most important words. try to explain "bilmeyiversinler" 🤪

I loved the usage of abla when I was in Turkey. Very sweet and polite, and I felt flattered. It is a good practice.
In India we also use
Bhaiya (older brother). Didi (older sister)
In exact way, the way Turkish people use Abi and Abla🌸. It's good to know that the culture is almost same. Btw Iyi Akşamlar arkadaş.🙂
That's interesting! İyi akşamlar Komal!
Not same cultures 😉 We are too different
@@ozencgencmert I’m sure they’re just talking about the age culture
Same in Maldives. We say Beybe, Dhatha or Kokko for younger ones. But these days in the city people hardly use this. Sometimes the Modern life takes away the traditional beauty of our communities
what a different culture! please come to USA sometime, i order u a cow meat. Its my favourite!
Same with us Filipinos we use terms for our older brothers and sisters.
Kuya=older brother
Ate= older sister
Thank you for making the translation super simple. I enjoy watching your videos very much.
Turkish culture is like Indian culture,. In our country we also respect our elder bro and sis with BHAI and DIDI
Turkish culture and Japanese culture are very similar but not with Indian
bhai sounds like turkish Bay which means Mr. , or Sir , Lord or rich man
Even Mr and Mrs mean Bay and Bayan in Turkish

What about "amca" and "teyze"? Can´t I say that instead of "siz" to a person that is to old to be called "abi"?

The same goes for old women with "teyze"
*It is informal.*

Ah, so you can use 'colay gelsin' when meeting a conversation at the gym.
When would you use 'yenge'?
It’s funny because we use “Abla” in Kuwait for “female teacher”.
It would be good if you could explain the use of "bey", "hatun". "oglum" "kizim" etc.(Sorry, I don't have Turkish alphabet on this laptop) How does an older lady address young people, without being too formal
"Bey" is used for the mans and it's actually a formal and respectfull expression. Both mans and females can use it for the all ages. It's means "Mr." You can use it like "Ali Bey, Ahmet Bey".
It's hard to explain "hatun". It is used for the girls and usually between lovers. It is a compliment. Sometimes it's also used between friends when they're talking about their lovers. Like "senin hatun" means "your girlfriend".
"Oğlum" means "my son" and "kızım" means "my daughter". Mothers/fathers can call their sons/daughters this way. Or it can used by when an elder man/woman call someone who is younger than them. It is widely used. An old lady can ask an adress like that: "Kızım, gel buraya. Acaba oraya nasıl gidebilirim?". It means "My daughter, come here. How can i get to there?"
I hope that i explained it well. Sorry if i have some mistakes in my English.
What is the word to call a girl, sister like in a conversation without caring of her age, because I have witnessed some mind calling them Abla, and I don't think kız kardeşim should be used for direct addressing, so what word should be used for direct addressing?
You can use hanımefendi or hanım with name (ex : Melisa Hanım) but I recommend hanımefendi bcs if you use only hanım without her name that means she is your wife.
It is very polite and formal way.
Can we also use “abi” and “abla” with bestfriends who are older than us?
What about who is same age with me
What about "bacim", "yenge", "bayan", "teyze" and "amca"? Can you help us understand? Thank you!
Omg this is so complicated. Yenge you use for the Wife of your Uncles and Brothers wife. Teyze means the sister of your Mother or for old Woman also. Bacım is the same like "kız kardeş", or we use it also if we talk with our Feminine Friends. We have many examples like this. For every Relatives one name 😂

Also if the person is around your parents age or older, you say amca and teyze instead of agabey and abla. You have to be a little bit more careful though, best to keep it to people who are a little bit older than your parents, if they are at your grandparents' age, then certainly. But at the same time these are both respectful and informal, at a formal setting it is better to stick to plural form of you (siz).
