[Azin Bahari]

The 5^th and 6^th weeks of my language learning consisted of learning and reinforcing how to say yes or no questions, and a lot, lot of adjectives. The construction of yes or no questions, put in very simple terms, is the adding of either mı, mi, mu, mü at the end of a sentence. The correct ending is chosen based on vowel harmony. When asking if something is there, the word “var” is added before the question suffix; when asking if something is not there, the word “yok” is added before the question suffix. Due to the large amount of adjectives our language professor introduced us to, I made another Quizlet specifically for some of the most common adjectives (https://quizlet.com/331105251/turkish-unit-2-adjectives-flash-cards/). I would like to think that I am çalışkan (hardworking), but I am definitely tembel (lazy) in all reality. We also reinforced our learning of numbers, learning how to ask how much something costs in Turkish - “Bu kaç lira/para?” (How much Turkish Lira/money is this?)
