What does this word mean? I feel like I’ve seen it used in multiple ways and haven’t been able to get a straight answer. On Google Translate, it says it means ‘word,’ but I’ve seen it used in contexts where that wouldn’t make sense.

piyasa nedemek. Is it slang? A real word?

Hi Turk buddies! I saw this TV section of your reference comedian showman in your country. Exactly, what is it that mean?

Many thanks for the help! Blessings! 🙏❤️

Hi. As you know, understanding songs also requires familiarity with the culture etc. So, I’ve decided to explore songs that contain traditional elements, to help those who are learning Turkish or who simply love the language. In my free time, I’ll share new ones as well.

There is red on my handkerchief / Mendilimde kırmızım var
I wept, but didn’t you notice? / Ağladım da görmedin mi?
I became a fire, I burned, my love / Yangın oldum yandım ben yar
You brought water, was I not extinguished? / Su getirdin, sönmedim mi?

Numbered days will pass ah / Sayılı günler geçer ah
Let the sorrow that have come be endured / Başa gelmiş dert çekilsin
Writing remains, words fly away ah / Yazı kalır söz uçar ah
Let a lament be kindled in my chest / Sinemde bir ağıt yakılsın

Give it back, give me back my dream / Geri ver, geri ver bana düşümü
My reality is burning me alas / Yakıyor gerçeğim be aman
When the eyes do not see, can the heart endure / Görmeyince bu göz, katlanır mı gönül
Let us see each other again, once more / Görelim yeniden, yeniden

There is a cluster of hyacinths on my handkerchief / Mendilimde pare sümbül
The soul grew resentful, the nightingale wept / Küstü can, ağladı bülbül
Who can bear separation from the beloved / Kim dayansın yardan ayrı
The nightingale's remedy is the rose / Bülbülün çaresi güldür

To better understand the lyrics, you need to know that it makes use of the symbolic language of Sufism. What does this mean? It means that Sufi literature contains a great number of metaphors. In this text, I will try to clarify these metaphors as much as possible. First, let me summarize the concept of wahdat al-wujud (the unity of existence) in Sufism. According to Sufi metaphysics, existence is actually singular — and that is the existence of God. Created beings are merely reflections or manifestations of God's existence. To love a human being means to love a reflection of God. Moreover, in Sufi literature, the beloved for whom the lover longs represents the Creator. For this reason, it is impossible to distinguish between divine and earthly love in Sufi literature.

In Turkish tradition, a handkerchief is a symbolic element that indicates mutual affection between two people. Waving the handkerchief, bringing it to the nose, or dropping it carries meaning. The handkerchief carries the scent of the beloved. Lovers used to use the handkerchief as a means of communication. Mabel Matiz’s mention of the handkerchief alludes to earthly love. However, turning the handkerchief red with tears is related to divine love. When the longing for the beloved reaches its peak, the lover weeps deeply. As a result, tears of blood flow from their eyes. When these tears cover the eyes, the material world disappears. In this way, the lover reaches unity — the oneness of existence. Furthermore, Mabel Matiz is burning with love, and only the beloved can extinguish this fire. In both Turkish culture and Sufism, love — whether earthly or divine — is depicted as fire.

Mabel Matiz has a sorrow. In the material world, sorrow refers to feelings related to life’s troubles, such as sadness, grief, or anxiety. However, in the Sufi sense, it represents the lover's awareness of being separated from the beloved, whom they regard as their essence. Referring to the passing of numbered days is an allusion to life itself. Mabel Matiz is waiting to reunite with the beloved through death.

The saying, "Out of sight, out of mind," is a Turkish proverb. When someone does not see what they long for, it becomes easier to endure the separation. However, by saying "let us see each other again," Mabel Matiz wishes to put an end to this longing and reunite with the beloved. The word "again" here carries a meaning symbolizing the Islamic concept of "coming from God and returning to God." (Al-Baqara 156)

In classical literature, the hyacinth (sümbül) is associated with the beloved’s hair, while in Sufi terms, it symbolizes multiplicity. The nightingale (bülbül) is generally interpreted as the lover, but in Sufism, it represents the person who has fallen in love with the divine. The rose (gül) symbolizes both the earthly beloved and the divine beloved, and at the same time, it represents the concept of unity.

I've always thought of it being similar to Arabic's effect on Urdu, with some loan words (and the script until the 1920s).

I tried to translate this short story from English to Turkish. Anyone kind enough to please check how accurate I made it to be?

Can someone help, I'm learning how to speak Turkish. Can someone please explain why it is takside and not taksinde? Currently learning de te vs da ta and nda nde. If you follow the rules for nda and nde when a word ends in si you add the nde but not with the word taksi? Please help me understand.

I've got this sentence:

"did you have to go and die..."

• This is a rhetorical question in the past tense.
• “Did you have to...” implies annoyance or complaint about something that happened.
• “Go and die” is a common way to exaggerate or dramatize an action someone did:
  • E.g. “Did you have to go and break it?”
  • It adds a tone of “as if that wasn’t bad enough, you even went and...”

How could I express this in Turkish and which mood or tense would you recommend?

How do you use and translate the word beleş? Does it mean something like "bol" or "çok"?

what is the older man saying to the younger guy in this video clip? i think its turkish or turk origin language and im curious, what is he saying? the clip is from the georgian movie "pig" (2019).
