162: I swear


Yemin ediyorum.
= I swear.

Evlilik dünyanın en güzel şeyi!
= Marriage is the best thing in the world!

Canım!
= My sweetheart!




*Yemin ediyorum [from Yemin etmek= to swear; to vow; to take an oath]


*Canım: Root word is "can" meaning "life", so "Canım" is [=my life; my sweetheart; my dear; honey; sweetie; love etc.]


Language Tip:
"En güzel" [=the most beautiful; the best]. 

Superlatives are straightforward in Turkish. The word 'en' is used to construct all superlatives:
The fastest = en hızlı
The most intelligent = en zeki
The most hardworking = en çalışkan


Video is from the Turkish Series "İlişki Durumu: Karışık
English Title: "Relationship Status: It's Complicated"
