Are all these spoken as you have written them??

Dave

Not quite becuase he hasn't got the Turkish charactrs, some of the s are pronounced sh, some c are ch and other j, there are also two types of o, i and u, pronounced slightly differently too

So it would be pronouncd:

hayur = no
teshekur ederim = thank you
lootfen = please
arkadash = friend
sijak = hot
so-ook = cold (the g is silent)
sah = right
oozak = far
booyook = big
kuchuk = small
goozel = gbautiful
jaddesi = street
iyi akshamlar = good evening
goole goole = goodbye

etc. I'm not going to type the whole lot out though

Yes these are the proper Turkish words, Even if you try to say them they will help you and encourage you to try more words.
