Here is a new substitution drill
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE. "THE .... THAT I (or another personal pronoun...."
This one was inspired by a translation I did for Leelu.
JUST FILL IN THE "....." WITH ANYTHING YOU LIKE (preferably within the TC Rules or a moderator may censor it!!)
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, JUST HAVE A GO, AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL CORRECT IT IF IT IS WRONG.
Remember to put the English, too, so that this thread can help people who want to write their own note in Turkish, or try to decode a note written in Turkish.
Here are three from me to get it started:
The girls that I love: SEVDİĞİM KIZLAR
The books that he has read: OKUDUĞU KİTAPLAR
The countries which we have visited: SEYAHAT ETTİĞİMİZ ÃœLKELER
Over to you...

Quoting Leelu: The languages that I learn .. lisan öğrendığım.
|
You need to put the "that I learn" bit before "the languages" : Turkish and English are "back to front"
Öğrendiğim lisanlar

İs there any difference in meaning or usage of 'lisan' and 'dil', apart from the fact that dil can have the meaning of 'tongue' as well?

"lisan" appears to be language .. where as "dil" appears to be speak or spoken which I believe is where the reference to tongue comes in. of course I am a beginner too .. and I'm sure the more advanced users of TC will correct me .. .. but that is how we learn ..

Not exactly.
lisan is the language, dil is both.
lisan is a bit old. but not too old.
