TURKISH ALPHABET
Merhaba, language enthusiasts! Let's take our first step by exploring the unique Turkish alphabet.
Turkish alphabet consists of 29 letters. 21 consonants and 8 vowels:
A, B, C, Ç, D, E, F, G, Ğ, H, I, İ, J, K, L, M, N, O, Ö, P, R, S, Ş, T, U, Ü, V, Y, Z
Some tips on how to pronounce the vowels of the Turkish:
- A is like the ‘a’ in “father.” It’s open and relaxed.
- E is similar to the ‘e’ in “bed.” Keep it short and crisp.
- I is the tricky one, it’s a bit like the ‘e’ in “roses,” but without the dots, so it’s more guttural.
- İ is the dotted counterpart, pronounced like the ‘ee’ in “see.”
- O is as you would expect, just like the ‘o’ in “more.”
- Ö is unique, try shaping your mouth as if to say ‘o’ but say ‘e’ instead.
- U is a deep sound, akin to the ‘oo’ in “moon.”
- Ü is like trying to say ‘ee’ while rounding your lips as for ‘oo.’
