I know! They all seem so similar don´t they?! {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

(Turkish people will probably disagree, so please don´t take offence! {#lang_emotions_bigsmile})

 

I find it particularly hard to remember verbs as well. I haven´t even been able to think of any easy ways to remember those ones either.  {#lang_emotions_neutral}

Thank you guys ..... such helpful thoughts !

İ used to relay on the similarity in meaning between many words in Turkish and my language´Arabic´

Still sometimes we have same words by different meanings too,which making it hard.

So i needed to use new ways and those sound real great

Quoting doudi94

Turkish verbs are what always confuse me like these 3 :

almak- to take/ to give/ to buy

anlatmak-to tell

anlamak-to understand

 

its sooo hard!!

 

 Verbs are easier

Almak ...is to take

Anlamak...is to understand

 

Anlatmak is actually another form of anlamak which you added ´t´ to the verb to add another meaning to it

As i remember with another verbs we add ´tIr´/´Dır´

İ will try to look it up.

 Anlatmak means ´to explain´
