354: You can clear the table

Subtitles:

Toplayabilirsin. = You can clear the table.

Vocabulary:

toplayabilirsin [= you can clear (the table)] potential mood positive from toplamak [= to clear; to pick up; to collect] The full expression for “to clear the table” is [= boşları / masa / sofrayı toplamak]. “boşlar” means [= dirty dishes/ glasses etc.; the empties]. Note that “boş” means “empty”. “masa” [= table]. “sofra” [= dining table]. Tip: *To express possibility/probability in Turkish, the suffix [-ebil or -abil] is added to the verb stem ending in a consonant: gelmek [= to come] : gelebilmek [= to be able to come/ can come] If the verb stem ends in a vowel, we add the suffix [-yebil or –yabil] to the verb stem. The “y” in this case acts as a buffer sound: beklemek [= to wait] : bekleyebilmek [= to be able to wait/ can wait] *To learn more about how to express similar structures in Turkish, read here: Can/Can't

348: Would you open that door?

Subtitles:

Ayşegül, açar mısın şu kapıyı? = Ayşegül, would you open that door?

Vocabulary:

açar mısın [= would you open] present simple from açmak [=to open] şu [= that] kapıyı [= the door] Tip: The word for “door” is [= kapı]. To express the verb “to open the door”, we need to modify the root word “kapı” a bit into “kapıyı” [= the door]. Hence, “to open the door” is [= kapıyı açmak]. Note that polite requests in Turkish are expressed by using the present simple tense.

  

Extra Phrases:

Would you close the window? = Pencereyi kapatır mısın? = Pencereyi kapatır mısınız? (formal) Would you close the door? = Kapıyı kapatır mısın? = Kapıyı kapatır mısınız? (formal) Would you sign here? = Burayı imzalar mısın? = Burayı imzalar mısınız? (formal) That is very big. = Şu çok büyük.

Vocabulary:

ama [=but] ne olur [=please; I beg you] Tip: In speech, this expression is reduced to “n'olur”, and has the same meaning of “lütfen” but with a healthy dose of pleading [=I beg you]. anla [=understand] (imperative) from anlamak= to understand beni [=me] lütfen [=please] çok [=very; a lot; so] sağol [=thanks]. Tip: "Sağol" [lit. =Health to you]. This is the informal way of saying "teşekkürler" or "teşekkür ederim". The root word "sağ" means "healthy; alive" + ol [=imperative from olmak= be], so it is equivalent to saying "stay healthy; be healthy".
