This word is nearly impossible for me to say:

başardılı ... from the tc dictionary it sounds like:

ba shardle uh

...that's as close as I can to pronouncing it

but then...how would I pronounce başardıliydı ?

Quoting TeresaJana:

başardılı


there is no such word. Delete the "d"

You are lucky not to pronounce only one word.
There are so many words in English that I cannot say.

So you have a problem with "ı".
How 'bout following chains?

sıkıştırılmışlık
sıkıntılısını mı?
kılıbıklık
ısıtılmışlık
ılıştırılmışlık
kışkırttırılmışlık
etc

the "ı" in Turkish alphabet is like the vowel sounds in the last syllabels of these English words: "financial" or "pocket".

hope this helps.
