Merhaba arkadaþlar,

I´ve learn that to say thank you in Turkish is Teþekkür Ederim. But I heard my husband´s family or friends (my husband is Turkish) sometimes are saying "Teþekkür Ediyorum" or "Teþekkür Ederiz" and it making me confuse. My questions are:

1. Does it have something to do with sufixes that are being use in Turkish language?

2. Is there other form of saying thank you in Turkish besides "Saðol", "Teþekkürler", and those I´ve mentioned above?

3. When would be the appropriate time to say each one of them (Teþekkür Ederim, Teþekkür Ediyorum, Teþekkür Ederiz, etc)?

Thanks in advance for the explanation. {#lang_emotions_angel}

Merhaba arkadaþlar,

I´ve learn that to say thank you in Turkish is Teþekkür Ederim. But I heard my husband´s family or friends (my husband is Turkish) sometimes are saying "Teþekkür Ediyorum" or "Teþekkür Ederiz" and it making me confuse. My questions are:

1. Does it have something to do with sufixes that are being use in Turkish language?

2. Is there other form of saying thank you in Turkish besides "Saðol", "Teþekkürler", and those I´ve mentioned above?

3. When would be the appropriate time to say each one of them (Teþekkür Ederim, Teþekkür Ediyorum, Teþekkür Ederiz, etc)?

Thanks in advance for the explanation. {#lang_emotions_angel}

 

1. Yes, suffixes are very important. Teþekkür etmek is the verb form of "thank", teþekkür ederim is for "I" like "I thank you", teþekkür ederiz is for "we" like "we thank you". Teþekkür ediyorum is same for "I" but another tense, present continuous.

2. could be many teþekkürler is the noun form as an example.

3. Teþekkür ediyorum sounds like you will say more or something contrary/against to your thank but that is not a rule. just a sound/emphasize if that is used well. teþekkür ederiz is for "we", so if you are talking as a leader of speaker of someone, you may use it. teþekkürler and teþekkür ederim are same for me. sað ol is for some more close friends/people, informal type thank.
