Hi! :D

Cant find this anywhere so if it is on a special page or post please can you direct me with a link?

Can anybody give me any basic words like please, thank you, hello, no thank you, goodbye to be able to be polite and give the old lingo a go when we are away?

(Also can you write them as spelt and also in idiot form for me as spoken!)

Thank you!

Lingo
The Turkish people will be really pleased you are at least trying to learn the lingo, in fact they will take great pleasure in teaching you.

please--> lütfen (pronounce like that-->Lyut+phen)

thank you--> teşekkürler (tea+shake+cure+lear)

hello--> merhaba

no thank you-->hayir teşekkürler

goodbye--> güle güle (even we use BYE, so you can say BYE)

if your saying gule gule (see ya later) it is said by the person remaining in that place.So if your leaving and you want to say bye it is-hosca kalin (hosh-cha kaluhn)

:D
