== Expressing Your Opinion ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/turkish Turkish] learners! 😊


When expressing your opinion in Turkish, there are several different ways to do so. The most common way is to use the verb ''düşünmek'' (to think). This verb can be used in the present tense to express your opinion about something. For example:
In this lesson, we will learn how to give our opinion in Turkish. In daily communication, it is important to express your thoughts and feelings. We will learn how to do that in a grammatically correct way. We will also learn some useful expressions to make our opinions more interesting.


* ''Ben düşünüyorum ki...'' (I think that...)

Another way to express your opinion is to use the phrase ''sanırım'' (I guess). This phrase is used to express a tentative opinion or an opinion based on limited information. For example:  
== Expressing Your Opinion ==
To express your opinion in Turkish you can use the following structures:
* Bence + Verb
* Benim düşünceme göre + Verb


* ''Sanırım bu bir yanlış.'' (I guess this is a mistake.)
"Bence" means "in my opinion" and "benim düşünceme göre" means "according to my thoughts". They are used interchangeably.


You can also use the phrase ''muhtemelen'' (probably) to express an opinion based on evidence or facts. For example:
Example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
* ''Muhtemelen hava çok sıcak olacak.'' (It will probably be very hot outside.)
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Bence bu film çok iyi. || ben-je boo film chok ee-yi || In my opinion, this movie is very good.
|-
| Benim düşünceme göre bu yemek çok lezzetli. || beh-nim doo-shoon-jay-meh gir-eh boo yay-mayk chok lezzaht-lee || According to my thoughts, this meal is very delicious.
|-
| Sence hangisi daha iyi? || sen-je han-gee-see dah-ha ee-yee || What do you think, which one is better?
|}


Finally, you can use the phrase ''görüşüme göre'' (in my opinion) to express your opinion in a more formal setting. For example:  
If you want to make your opinion more interesting, you can also use the following expressions:
* Kesinlikle + Verb
* Aslında + Verb
* Maalesef + Verb


* ''Görüşüme göre, bu bir hatadır.'' (In my opinion, this is a mistake.)
"Kesinlikle" means "definitely", "aslında" means "actually", and "maalesef" means "unfortunately".
 
== Examples ==
 
Here are some examples of how to use these expressions in everyday conversations:


Example:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Kesinlikle haklısın. || keh-seein-lee-kleh hak-luh-sun || You are definitely right.
|-
|-
| Ben düşünüyorum ki... || ben doo-shoo-noo-yor-muh kee || I think that...
| Aslında öyle düşünmüyorum. || ah-sluhn-dah oh-yluh doo-shoon-mu-yoh-ruhm || Actually, I don't think so.
|-
|-
| Sanırım bu bir yanlış. || sah-nee-ruhm boo beer yahn-luhsh || I guess this is a mistake.
| Maalesef bu proje başarısız oldu. || mah-ah-leh-sef boo proh-jay bah-shar-uh-suhz oh-luh-duh || Unfortunately, this project was unsuccessful.
|}
 
== Using Comparatives to Express Your Opinion ==
In Turkish, comparatives are used to compare two things or ideas. To form the comparative, you need to add the suffix "-er" to the adjective.
 
Example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Muhtemelen hava çok sıcak olacak. || moo-teh-meh-lehn hah-vah chohk suh-jahk oh-lah-jahk || It will probably be very hot outside.
| Bu yemek daha lezzetli. || boo yay-mayk dah-ha lezzaht-lee || This meal is more delicious.
|}
 
To make a stronger comparison, you can add "daha" before the adjective. "Daha" means "more".
 
Example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Görüşüme göre, bu bir hatadır. || goh-roo-shoo-meh goh-reh, boo beer hah-tah-duhr || In my opinion, this is a mistake.
| Bu film daha ilginç. || boo film dah-ha il-geenj || This movie is more interesting.
|}
|}


== Quiz ==
You can also use "en" which means "the most" to express the superlative.


Test your knowledge with this quiz:  
Example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Bu kitap en ilginç kitap. || boo kee-tap en il-geenj kee-tap || This book is the most interesting book.
|}

Turkish Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Turkish learners! 😊

In this lesson, we will learn how to give our opinion in Turkish. In daily communication, it is important to express your thoughts and feelings. We will learn how to do that in a grammatically correct way. We will also learn some useful expressions to make our opinions more interesting.

Expressing Your Opinion

To express your opinion in Turkish you can use the following structures:

  • Bence + Verb
  • Benim düşünceme göre + Verb

"Bence" means "in my opinion" and "benim düşünceme göre" means "according to my thoughts". They are used interchangeably.

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bence bu film çok iyi. ben-je boo film chok ee-yi In my opinion, this movie is very good.
Benim düşünceme göre bu yemek çok lezzetli. beh-nim doo-shoon-jay-meh gir-eh boo yay-mayk chok lezzaht-lee According to my thoughts, this meal is very delicious.
Sence hangisi daha iyi? sen-je han-gee-see dah-ha ee-yee What do you think, which one is better?

If you want to make your opinion more interesting, you can also use the following expressions:

  • Kesinlikle + Verb
  • Aslında + Verb
  • Maalesef + Verb

"Kesinlikle" means "definitely", "aslında" means "actually", and "maalesef" means "unfortunately".

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Kesinlikle haklısın. keh-seein-lee-kleh hak-luh-sun You are definitely right.
Aslında öyle düşünmüyorum. ah-sluhn-dah oh-yluh doo-shoon-mu-yoh-ruhm Actually, I don't think so.
Maalesef bu proje başarısız oldu. mah-ah-leh-sef boo proh-jay bah-shar-uh-suhz oh-luh-duh Unfortunately, this project was unsuccessful.

Using Comparatives to Express Your Opinion

In Turkish, comparatives are used to compare two things or ideas. To form the comparative, you need to add the suffix "-er" to the adjective.

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bu yemek daha lezzetli. boo yay-mayk dah-ha lezzaht-lee This meal is more delicious.

To make a stronger comparison, you can add "daha" before the adjective. "Daha" means "more".

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bu film daha ilginç. boo film dah-ha il-geenj This movie is more interesting.

You can also use "en" which means "the most" to express the superlative.

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bu kitap en ilginç kitap. boo kee-tap en il-geenj kee-tap This book is the most interesting book.

Dialogue: Comparing Two Foods

  • Person 1: "Sence hangisi daha lezzetli, baklava mı, yoksa künefe mi?" (Which one do you think is more delicious, baklava or kunefe?)
  • Person 2: "Bence künefe daha lezzetli çünkü peynirli tatlıları severim." (In my opinion, kunefe is more delicious because I like sweet deserts with cheese.)

Adjective Agreement

In Turkish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in terms of number and possession. To form a plural, you need to add the suffix "-ler" to the noun.

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bu kedi sevimli. boo keh-deh sev-eem-lee This cat is cute.
Bu kediler sevimli. boo keh-dee-ler sev-eem-lee These cats are cute.

To show possession, you need to add the suffix "-in" to the person or thing that owns the noun.

Example:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Bu benim defterim. boo beh-nim def-ter-im This is my notebook.
Bu senin defterin. boo sen-in def-ter-in This is your notebook.

Dialogue: Describing Possessions

  • Person 1: "Bu senin araban mı?" (Is this your car?)
  • Person 2: "Evet, bu benim arabam." (Yes, this is my car.)
  • Person 1: "Araban çok hızlı." (Your car is very fast.)
  • Person 2: "Evet, ama arabanın lastikleri eski." (Yes, but the tires of the car are old.)
