See the "stress on words" part at the end.

There are separate rules for names but it is a little complex for me to try to explain.

eg Ankara = An-ka-ra, Ãstanbul = Ãs-tan-bul.

Hope this helps.

This may also help, copied from another person´s discussion:

All syllables have to be pronounced clearly, and should have relatively equal stress, the main exceptions being
a) in negative verbs, the syllable before the negative marker gets a stress, and
b) most place names have the stress on the first syllable

To expand on this, Turkish doesn´t have the system of strongly stressed and unstressed/slurred syllables the way English and Italian do. Americans living in Turkey, for instance, always pronounced the the name of the town Adana like "uh-DAH-nuh", as if it were Italian. In fact, there´s a very slight stress on the first syllable, but it you stress them all equally, you won´t go far wrong. Similarly, they always pronounced Kusadasi as "Ku-SHAH-duh-si", whereas again, the syllables are stressed generally equally, with a slight stress on the initial one.

Apart from placenames, the main exception is in negative verbs, so that "gittim" (I went) is stressed equally as git-tim, but the negative "gitmedim" (I didn´t go) is "GIT-me-dim".

There are some other variations, such as stressing the first syllable of someone´s name when calling them ("AH-met, gel buraya..."), but in general, stressing the syllables equally, but being sure to pronounce them all clearly, is a good way to be understood.

Thak you very much Henry. Very good explainatýon. l´m from Norway - and ýt ýs very much lýke the way we do ýt. Thanks agaýn.
