Quoting arabian knight: hi all i have some inquiries

vowels are themselves:
a is "a"
e is "e"
and the others: ı i o ö u ü
they have the same names as their pronunciations.
if you want to listen it:
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=a
and click "play" button at the "Turkish --> English" title in that page.
consonanst are always have "e" after them:
b >> be
c >> ce
ç >> çe
...
only "ğ" is "yumuşak ge"
you may try all other letters by changing the the address:
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word= and add your letter, as example: "be":
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=be

ana means mother and also the "main" like branches.

kardeş is like "brother" or "friend". some people use it to anyone who seems at the same or some least age of him.
"anam" is an argo which bad guys use when they see a some bad or immoral girls on the street. or sometiems very close friends use it for each other as jokes in a different way(I have never understood why they say anam to each other, none of them are my close friend

For the letters look here:
alphabet
their names: the consonants are named like their sound with E after (Be, Ce, Çe, De etc except of Ğ which is "yumuşak Ge"- a soft Ge) and the vowels are named like their pronounciation (A, E, İ, I, O, Ö, U, Ãœ).
ana sayfa- home page
kardeş- like: brother, can you give it to the driver?
I see that Calip was way faster
