How is Gule Gule pronounced?

[denisthefish]

it should sound like wooly bully,at least thats how i say it.

[denisthefish]

actualy the tukish for goodbye sounds like, to shake her headerum,

[mr magoo]

Don't want to sound like a smart a**e here denisthefish, but that's thank-you. And so ends your Turkish lesson for today




magoo

[cherice]

I was going to say the same thing Mr Magoo.

[skilly]

Well Denisthefish, I am always going to remember how to pronounce 'thank you' in Turkish.
I think that would be a good way to remember other words if you can think of anymore

[denisthefish]

quite right folks,but it is how i remember words,goodbye or see you later would be, guru shurush,i know the spelling is wrong.

[karent]

im going to be a smart **** gule gule is pronunced gulay gulay

[denisthefish]

[Colette]

I liked the wooly bully I will remeber that next year when I am in Captain Bullsh*ts for a meal. I will be saying wooly bully

Another good thread for a laugh on my nightshifts.....woohoo, only 3 more nightshifts to do before my jollies.

My Husband always likes his beer really really cold, so when he orders efes, he says, cok soguk. Pronounced chalk soak, meaning, very cold.

You can also say hos cakal for bye (pro hosh jackal). Selam means hi and when you are saying bir bira lutfen you have to remember to say bir buyuk bita lutfen so you get a large one!

Along with cherise, I borrowed the Linguaphone Turkish CD package - and found it easy enough to use. Bung it in the car stereo on the way to work or wherever, and you'll be fluent(ish!) in no time

I've seen the pack on Amazon for about £30 recently... well worth it if you're serious about learning a bit before you go out there.
