Quoting tabard:



It SHOULD but the question is, do native Turkish speakers do it as it "should"?? I mean you can even find examples in this very forum.In the pronounciation section there is an MP3 file (I think the title is istasyonda) where the speaker says Allasmarladýk instead of Allahaýsmarladýk.

Dont get me wrong I simply try to distinguish the myths from reality.


You're right tabard, but in fact the pronounciation of ı doesn't change from word to word. It may sound different when people use them in their daily life, because when you speak faster, the sounds can change.
and sometimes you don't pronounce some parts of the word like in "Allasmarladık" when you speak fast.
same for "karşılaşması", when you speak fast, you may swallow ı and don't pronounce it and it becomes "karşlaşması". But this doesn't mean that you have to say them like that, it's just what people sometimes prefer to do.

"Allahaısmarladık" is an exception. There are a few like this. Just ignore them for now.
Another exception is "bir" (bi) and present continious tense "gideceğim" (gidicem).

"karşılaşması" should be pronounced properly as it is written.

I guess you are right mltm.Frankly speaking ý is not the only vowel I have problems with. I have problems with ö and ü too!
For example the word büyük. The sound of the first ü looks different to me than that of the 2nd one.
If I may extend my query would there be a difference in pronounciation if (supposely) the word were "buyük"? The first one been without dots i.e?

I dont know if what I say makes sense to native Turkish speakers...
Any comments from non native speakers regarding this matter?

Its natural that the first ü and the second ü in büyük will sound different. As I'm explaining in this issue we say "bü" and then "yük". So it is bü-yük. Obviously in the first syllable the ü isnt followed by a consonant so it will sound slightly longer then the second.

Yes, yes I ve checked the syllabling thread a couple of days ago.
OK lets suppose there existed a word büyü.Do you now see the same sound in both vowels? Frankly speaking I dont. In the first one I see a sound like in the English word bOOt, in the second one a sound like an ou as in English word yOU.
Sorry for bothering you, but perhaps these "details" might not be so visible to a native speaker?

Hi tabard,
I should put some sound files on this website. I will see what I can do. Actually I'm working on such a content these days.
Both in büyük and büyü (in fact this word exists in Turkish, just double click on it) the two ü's have the same sound. None of them are close to bOOt in any way. We have the u like bOOT.
Maybe you can give us a link where you have listened it so we can check as well.

IU found a good online sourc of sounds for you by checking our big list:
http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_6_1448

On the following page listen to 1.b with real player and it will pronounce the following lines:
http://languagelab.bh.indiana.edu/Turkish.html

al - el
kır - kir

un - on
göz - güz
göl - gül
yön - yün
un - ün
duru - dürüst
on - ön
son - sön
ol - öl

Oh, thats very good Edrinc!
Tekrar teþekkür ederim,
Hemen oraya gidiyorum.

I beleive we should let this topic pending for the time being, and we revert as soon as someone else might have the same problems.
Honestly I do have problems with those 3 vowels. Just a final question: Would I be too far away if I pronounce ý as i, ö as o, and ü as u?

Vowels make a huge difference in spoken language. In the above text you see some pairs with with ı-i, o-ö, u-ü and as you might have realised we have many like this. In other words, if you are using i instead ı it is likely to be another word. Smillar with o instead ö and u instead ü. In the above list harmless pairs are chooseb but in some cases you could possibly say a rude word without meaning it.
Certainly I'm not going to give examples here.
