* урынға яңа һайырлау - ask for a new address
* елемен тура - go straight
* сага/уңға - right/left
* автовокзала/автобус булырга - bus station/bus stop


Remember to use the polite form when asking for directions. A good way to start a conversation is by saying, "киңәш, магарыч" (kinäş, mağarïç) which means "excuse me, do you know...".
3. Do you know how to get to the school?


== Cardinal Directions ==
=== Exercise 5: Listening Exercise ===


Knowing the cardinal directions in Tatar can come in handy, especially when consulting a map or when directions are given using them. Here are the four cardinal directions in Tatar:
Listen to a native Tatar speaker giving directions. Write down the landmarks and cardinal directions you hear.


* шәһәр төбәге - north
=== Exercise 6: Create Your Own Directions ===
* шәһәр үзәккә - south
* шәһәр көнбәтә - west

* көнбәтәге - towards the west
=== Exercise 7: Distances Exercise ===
* шөнбәргә - towards the east
* төбәгә - towards the north
* үзәккәгә - towards the south


For example, "дәгә шәһәр көнбәтәге күлеш акча?" (dägä şähär könbätäge küläş aqça?) means "Is the lake towards the west of the city?".
If someone says, "It's 10 minutes away," how would you express that in Tatar? Write your answer.


== Landmarks and Distances ==
=== Exercise 8: Identify the Landmark ===


Landmarks and distances are also important when giving or following directions. Here are some phrases that can help:
Based on the following description in Tatar, identify the landmark: "Бу кечкенә, әмма матур урын." (This is a small but beautiful place.)


* йолның үскәләриндә - at the crossroads
=== Exercise 9: True or False ===
* бинарынан ары ҡурсагыз. - Pass the building on your left.
* күндә саған километр күрәшәк. - It's about a kilometer away.
* урыннар араһында - between places
* Китай үзәккәге һүнермен беренче һәрәкәткә уңға бүтәргәннән керә - Turn left after the first turn towards China.


Remember, distances are usually given in kilometers, and landmarks should be as specific as possible.
Determine whether the following statements are true or false based on what you've learned:


== Example Dialogue ==
1. "Көнчыгыш" means west. (True/False)


Here's an example of a dialogue between a lost traveler and a local:
2. "Якты" means far. (True/False)


Traveler: Киңәш, магарыч, Уфа автобус урыны ҡан, мен бармын?

Local: Аудармый, менде еш кондәнада Арифьев юл урыны беләннәй бар клуб төбәгендә, автовокзалнан нышан булсын.
== Solutions and Explanations ==
Audarmïy, mende yeş kondenada Arif'yev yul urını belänna'y bar klub tönägendä, avtovokzalnan nëşan bolsın.


Sorry, I don't know exactly, but there is a club near Arif'yev street and the bus station.
=== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ===


Traveler: Ратламачы мүмкин булырга башлыймын.
1. Парк кайда?
Ratlamaçı mümkin bulyrga başlıymın.

Local: Йөнәлеш барысында, әнче урман туган кабатыннан 100 метр бүлдір ның шәһәр ҡабатына ҡаршы, автобус булыгы бар дүҙәккә.
