Talk:Turkish

It looks like there's a confusion in present continous and present tenses. For an example, "I go" is almost never used in the meaning of "I am going" in Turkish. The first is translated as "giderim" and the latter as "gidiyorum". This works as it would in English. But, sometimes a literal tranlation would give a wrong meaning; "I understand" should be translated as "Anladım" (I understood).

Splash Screen
I read somewhere the splash screen isn't a good idea, or that helpful, should we delete it? --Uzbekscholar 06:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

some improvements needed
minute details of pronounciation are too intricate and unnecessary to introduce this early. (noone really will understand the difference if you pronounce 'deyil' or 'deghil' and noone really woud attempt to pronounce 'limon' with a back-L) --Dogu 16:40, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The big tidy up
Hey, I've cleaned up to some extent this Wikibook, splitting it into seperate pages, and added a picture. I hope everyone is happy with this and good luck with continuing the book. Serge 00:56, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Thank You
I'd just like to express my appreciation for those who are working on this book. I am eager for it to be developed further so that I may learn more Turkish. So far, it is well-structured and easy to understand. Keep up the good work! --RealGrouchy 05:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

New TOC template
Hi everyone... this is my fist time contributing to a wikibook, though I've been a Wikimedia fan for a while now. Since I'm a novice Turkish speaker, I probably won't contribute to the content as much as I will learn from it; OK so I created this template named Template:TurkishTOC so that links can be easily included on every page to the previous, next, and all other pages. Just add the text at the top of each page (or wherever) for a full TOC that looks like this:

Or add the text at the bottom for a condensed TOC that looks like this:

I guess the table of contents will need to be updated if changes are made to page titles, or if new pages are added, etc. That can be done by editing the template page directly: Template:TurkishTOC. Of course there might be a better way to do this sort of thing, so if someone knows a better system please show us. I think this is a good project and am looking forward to learning from it :)

Picture of Mount Olympos
Is the actual Mount Olympos in Turkey? If you look at the corresponding wikipedia article, it says it's in mainland Greece.

 * Yes, it is in Greece...
 * There is also an Olmypos in Turkey

Exercises, anyone?
Merhaba! I'm beginning to learn Turkish as my 5th language and I think this Wikibook needs some exercises at the end of each lesson. I'll begin by adding a few. Brandon Johnsonn 16:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
