Quoting CANLI:

İ guess it almost doesnt pronounce when its between 2 vowels,and it has a sound when its between vowel and constant
Like as you said ağaç,and in yağmur
You do pronounce it a bit in yağmur ,yes ?!


you just make the "a" longer before you say mur. like yaamur. ğ can be compared to the soft znak (cant type it on this keyboard) in russian. it doesnt have a sound itself, just makes the other sounds longer or a softer connection...

Quoting natiypuspi:

An istanbullu friend of mine told me that ğ, in the past, had a guttural sound. And nowadays, that some people use to pronounce "yağmur" like "yaşmur".



Hmm, interesting. never heard of that! I do know the final -r- can sound a bit like an s or an ş, I tend to pronounce the -r- that way as well.

it is possible. in the east ppl tend to pronounce it like gh in arabic or persian cos of their ethnicity. and some ppl just like to overpronounce
