I need to get all this to my notes to study when i am away from the PC.Tunci you always do make very informative threads. {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}And don´t sell yourself short, I really think you do. Now that you´ve posted it I realize spelling(context) rules would be good to know.

And sorry I´ve been missing lately because of trying to focus on classwork, and have had to sadly neglect Turkish in order to ensure I pass this class, and i miss coming here as often and I miss my friends here{#emotions_dlg.sad}. I hope that once this class finishes, in about half a week that I´ll have more time to come around and participate.

21. In Arabic origin words that are originally having double consonants in the end are written with a single consonant in Turkish. However , when those words takes a vowel or auxillary verb attached to them, then the consonant doubles.

hak [hakkı]

his [hissi]

ret [reddi]

şer [şerri]

tıp [tıbbı]

zam [zammı]

zan [zannı]

af [affetmek]

his (hissetmek]

22. In Turkish there are 21 consonant ;

      b, c, ç, d, f, g, ğ, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, ş, t, v, y, z

      They are divided into two group due to the condition of being vibrated in vocal cord when they are read ;

1. Soft consonants [consonants with tone, these consonants are read by vibrating vocal cords] ---> b, c, d, g, ğ, j, l, m, n, r, v, y, z

2. Hard consonants [ toneless consonants, these consonants are read without vibrating vocal cords] ----> ç, f, h, k, p, s, ş, t

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23. Original [pure] Turkish words do NOT take b, c, d, g  to their end. However in few words, to state the difference in the meaning they can take those consonants in writing language.

ad (name), at (horse)

od (fire), ot (grass,weed)

sac (flat iron), saç (hair).

23. In original forms of loanwords, the soft consonant in the end hardens in order to adapt them into Turkish phonetic.

  Original form                      Adapted form into Turkish

 kitab                                            kitap

sebeb                                             sebep

metod                                            metot

cild                                                cilt 

etüd                                               etüt
