Merhaba, I need your help since I've been using this dictionary for the first time. If I select a noun (i.e animal) This is what I get
i. hayvan.
s. hayvani; hayvansal; hayvanca.
Could you explain the difference and how to read it ? what the two letters i and s are for?
Tesekkurler

i. is for isim - noun and s. is for sıfat-adjective.

Hello anto,
welcome to the TurkishClass Forums.
i. stands for isim (noun)
s. for sıfat (adjective)
f. for fiil (verb)
For information on how to pronounce a Turkish word please see check this page. Turkish has a phonetic alphabet which means Turkish letters remain the same sound everytime. There are also some mp3 files on the page that you can listen.

The dictionary you are using here has been created by the administrator of this website himself. While there might be space to improve still it is very usefull I think. I think Fatih (admin) is a computer genius and I'm sure he welcomes any comments on these technical issues.
Unfortunately the dictionary here doent have a sound feature. If you really need such a dictionary for a particular word, you might want to visit this website:

This one has the sound thing but it lacks on other aspects. For instance try the word "göz" in both dictionaries and you will see the difference.
HoşÃ§akal,
erdinç

I'm really glad you asked that question.......
I was wondering exactly the same thing myself!
Mind you, I have enough questions to keep everybody busy answering them for a decade or so - I'll try not to ask too many all at once
