Turkey s successful economic recovery in the last few years is continuing. In 2004, the inflation rate dropped to a single digit for the first time in 30 years. However, despite the economic gains in , which were largely due to renewed investor interest in emerging markets, IMF backing, and tighter fiscal policy, the economy is still plagued with high debt and deficits. Foreign direct investment in Turkey remains low, averaging less than $1 billion annually. The political and economic issue over the next decade is whether or not Turkey will become a member of the European Union. According to the results of polls, the majority of the population is in favor of Turkey s membership. According to the State Institute of Statistics, per capita average monthly gross earnings was estimated as 1154 YTL for the third quarter of Some other facts about Turkey: According to the CIA s The World Factbook, Turkey s population is 69,660,559 (July 2005 est.) GDP - per capita : $7,400 (2004 est.) Literacy rate : Total population: 86.5% Inflation rate : 9.3 % (2004 est.) Unemployment rate : 9.3 % Population below Loverty line : 20% (2002) The local currency in Turkey is YTL (Yeni Türk Lirası). High inflation processes which started in Turkey in the 1970 s led to the expression of economic values in terms of billions, trillions and even quadrillions. Since 1981 larger denominations were put to circulation almost every 2 years. Financial figures with many zeros lead to problems in accounting, statistical records, payment systems and transactions at the cashier s office. Finally, the government took the steps to covert Turkish currency. Six zeros were deleted from Turkish currency on January 1,

2 YTL has been in circulation since then and the sub-unit of YTL is Ykr (Yeni Kuruş). 1 YTL = 1OO Ykr YTL Denominations YTL Banknotes: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 YTL YTL Coins: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 New Kuruş and 1 New Lira Following are approximate exchange rates for YTL: 1 YTL = 0.72 USD 1 YTL = 0.57 EUR 1 USD = 1.38 YTL 1 EUR = 1.74 YTL 90

3 1. Listen to the following vocabulary and repeat after the speaker. Muz Armut Domates Patates Süt Tereyağı Yumurta Kaşar peyniri Zeytin Ekmek Şeker Dondurma Beyaz peynir Balık Tavuk Biber 2. Work in pairs or in small groups. Ask your partner what foods he/she has at home. Use the model below. Model: A. Evde nelerin var? B. Muz, domates ve patatesim var. 91

4 3. Familiarize yourself with the new vocabulary. Listen to the speaker and follow along in the workbook. Look at the pictures and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words. Bu bir market. Selin markette çalışır. O bir kasiyer. Ercan markette çalışır. O bir satış elemanı. Ezgi bir giyim mağazasında çalışır. O bir satış elemanı. Kaan bir giyim mağazasında çalışır. O bir kasiyer. Did you understand the underlined words? Market means grocery store (market) Kasiyer means cashier Satış elemanı means salesperson Giyim mağazası means clothing store Anywhere you go in Turkey you will find small food markets. Although these small markets basically sell foods such as bread, cheese, milk, butter, eggs, olives and beverages, they also sell other things such as cigarettes, newspapers, cleaning products, etc. Beside these small food shops there are lots of other small shops which sell a variety of products. For example, there are small shops that sell only music CDs and cassettes, jewelry shops, shoe shops, carpet shops, glassware shops, stationeries, etc. There are also lots of green grocers and bakeries where you can always buy fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh bread. 92

5 In Turkey. towns and cities are very condensed compared to the US which means that almost everywhere there is a market within walking distance. Open markets are also very common and popular in Turkey. These are similar to farmers markets in the US but they are much bigger and the fruit and vegetables are much cheaper. Almost every district has an open market set up at certain days and locations. People usually walk to the open markets. The word for Department Store in Turkish is Reyonlu Satış Mağazası. There are lots of department stores and shopping centers in big cities such as İstanbul, İzmir, Ankara, and Antalya where you can buy clothing, household goods, glassware, cosmetics, etc. However, most of these department stores are not as big and do not sell as large a variety of products as in the US. 4. Work in pairs or in small groups. Make up dialogues using the model below. Model: A. Sema nerede çalışır? Where does Sema work? B. Sema markette çalışır. Sema works at the grocery store. Construction want + infinitive (e.g. want to buy ): If we translate the structure (I/You/ S/he/It/We/You/They) want(s) to buy (something) literally, it will look like: (I/You/ S/he/It/We/You/They) (something) to buy + want + personal suffix (Ben/Sen/O/ Biz/Siz/Onlar) (birşey) satın almak + istiyor + kişi eki The subject pronouns I/You/ S/he/It/We/You/They (Ben/Sen/O/Biz/Siz/Onlar) is presented in parentheses in the following examples which means that even if you don t use them the meaning will be the same. We can tell the subject from the personal suffix attached to the end of the verb to want (istemek). If you use the subject pronouns, it usually means there is a stress on the subject. To review conjugation of verbs refer to Lesson 4, Activity 4 (Table). (Ben) (yeni bir araba) satın almak istiyorum. (Sen) (yeni bir ev) satın almak istiyorsun. (O) (bir bisiklet) satın almak istiyor. (O) (bir kitap) satın almak istiyor. (Biz) (yeni bir bilgisayar) satın almak istiyoruz. (Onlar) bir (fotoğraf makinesi) satın almak istiyorlar. I want to buy (a new car). You want to buy (a new house). He wants to buy (a bicycle). She wants to buy (a book). We want to buy (a new computer). They want to buy (a camera). Although the verb to buy is satın almak in Turkish, the word satın is usually dropped when spoken. In this case the structure is usually: Bir araba almak istiyorum. (I want to buy a car.) 93

6 5. Familiarize yourself with the new vocabulary. Listen to the speaker and follow along in the workbook. Look at the pictures and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words. Meral bir kitap satın almak istiyor. O bir kitabevinde. Mustafa bir saat satın almak istiyor. O bir hediyelik eşya mağazasında. Did you understand the underlined words? Kitabevi means bookstore Saat means clock Hediyelik eşya mağazası means gift store 6. Match each Turkish sentence in the left column with the English equivalent in the right column. Check your answers with the answer key. 1. Ben ekmek ve tereyağı satın almak istiyorum A. Deniz wants to buy fish. 2. Zeynep bir kitap satın almak istiyor. B. They want to buy cheese. 3.

When we shop for food or drink in Turkey, we use certain measures and measure words. See the examples below. Turkish English 250 gram zeytin 250 grams of olives Yarım kilo peynir Half a kilo of cheese Bir kilo domates A kilo of tomatoes Bir litre süt A liter of milk Bir şişe su A bottle of water Bir kutu salça A tin of tomato paste 94

7 Here are some more examples. A kilo of pears A bag of potatoes A loaf of bread A bottle of water A carton of milk A dozen eggs Bir kilo armut Bir torba patates Bir (somun) ekmek Bir şişe su Bir kutu süt Bir düzine yumurta 7. Work with a partner or in small groups. Pretend that you are planning to have a surprise birthday party for one of your classmates. You need to buy some food and gifts. Make a shopping list and tell your partner in Turkish what you want to buy. When we ask the price of any food or drink in Turkish we usually use one of the following structures: (X) ne kadar? (How much is X?) Affedersiniz, (X) in fiyatı ne kadar? (Excuse me. How much is the price of X?) We may also use demonstrative pronouns (this/that/these/those) especially when we point to the food or drink items that we want to buy. Examples: Bu ne kadar?/bunun fiyatı ne kadar? (How much is this?/ How much is the price of this?) Şu ne kadar?/ Şunun fiyatı ne kadar? (How much is that? / How much is the price of that?) Bunlar ne kadar? / Bunların fiyatı ne kadar? (How much are these?/ How much are the price of these?) Şunlar ne kadar? / Şunların fiyatı ne kadar? (How much are those? / How much are the price of those?) When you shop for clothes, jewelery, furniture, carpets, shoes, glassware or other household items, you can usually bargain for the price, especially if it is a family-owned business. It is not appropriate to bargain in department stores where salespeople work. 8. Listen to the following dialogue and repeat after the speaker. A. Excuse me. I want to buy cheese. How much is it? Afedersiniz, ben peynir satın almak istiyorum. Ne kadar? B. A kilo of cheese is $5.40. Bir kilo peynir 5,40 YTL. A. Thank you. Teşekkür ederim. B. You are welcome. Birşey değil. 95

Onlar marketten yumurta ve süt alırlar. She buys clothes at the department store. O reyonlu satış mağazasından giysiler alır. The suffixes -den/-den/-ten/-tan attached to the end of the words for shops means at the... / from the...

Grammar Note: The verb can : The structure I/You/S/he/It/We/You/They + can + verb expresses ability or possibility: In Turkish, the suffix -ebil- / -abil- is affixed to the positive verb stems which end in a consonant, while -yebil- /-yabil- is used if the verb stem ends in a vowel. Notice the different conjugation for Affirmative / Negative / Question forms. 96

9 Affirmative I/You/S/he/It/We/You/They can + verb Ben/Sen/O/Biz/Siz/Onlar + verb root + -ebil- / -abil--yebil- /- yabil- I can learn Spanish. Ben İspanyolca öğrenebilirim. You can come with us.

The verb to take is almak in Turkish and it has many different usages. In this lesson, one of its basic usages is kabul etmek (to accept). When we want to pay by credit card in a shop we may have to ask if they accept credit cards. The structure we should use for this situation is: Turkish English Müşteri: Kredi kartı kabul ediyor musunuz? Customer: Do you accept credit cards? Veya (Kredi kartı geçer mi?) Or (Is a credit card acceptable?) 97
