=== Exercise 2: Matching Exercise ===


== Cardinal Directions ==
Match the Tatar phrases with their English translations.


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:

For example, "дәгә шәһәр көнбәтәге күлеш акча?" (dägä şähär könbätäge küläş aqça?) means "Is the lake towards the west of the city?".
5. Көньяк


== Landmarks and Distances ==
a. Hospital 


Landmarks and distances are also important when giving or following directions. Here are some phrases that can help:
b. Store 


* йолның үскәләриндә - at the crossroads
c. North 
* 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.  
d. Close 


== Example Dialogue ==
e. South 


Here's an example of a dialogue between a lost traveler and a local:
