peki (pek + iyi), right?

yes yes i know that normally at the end of a word. but the point is they seems don't care any stress at all. they told me: ok, you may call us mUUstafa and gÜÜrkan, it doesn't matter :-S that's why it was so hard for me to explain rules on russian stress as if they have no idea of it at allll

hi!

i'm strongly interested in one question please. i wonder if there is any idea of stress (or accent) of a word in the turkish language.

i'm asking because i had an experience of teaching russian to turks. stress is very important in russian. but when i tried to explain some rules i came across the fact that they didn't understand. i was trying to explain that the stressed vowel should be pronounced longer and with more effort but no reaction :-S even when i used their names as examples (not mUstafa but mustafA, not gÜrkan but gürkAn) it was confusing for them and me as well so, bu nedenle i am asking now

Let me try practicing different uses of tr present tense.

1. future: ne zaman ahmet geliyor? - when will ahmet come? (looking forward to him )

2. telling something: her zaman eva'nı bulaşık ve ütü yapmak istiyorum ama o çok çok yaramaz, hiç istemiyor - ı always ask eva (my sister ) to wash dishes and do ironing but she is sooo naughty, never wants

3. imperative mood: bana arıyor musun? - please call me, will you?)
