SDLP 110: Learning Journal 6

[Constantinos Beauclair-Kolomtsas]

My learning goals for this week were to make sure I understand the new words we learned on the topic of origin. In class we learned how to ask where someone is from and how to answer such a question. The question would be "Nerelisin?" and the answer in my case would be "Yunanistanluyum". In Turkish "Yunanistan" means Greece and "luyum" is a suffix that indicates that you are from that place. The suffix changes depending on the vowels present in the word, which will be difficult to remember but through practice memorization becomes easy. I have been notcing some of these suffixes in the show Ezel, and so I have been already exposed to the proper pronunciation of suffixes like "luyum."
