TURKISH-ENGLISH GLOSSARY

Notes about the glossary


If the common casual pronunciation of an entry word is different than its written
form it is given in between brackets after the entry word: for example, acaba
[acaba:] (I wonder).

Case ending(s) required by an entry word after its object is / are indicated in
between parentheses. In the glossary section, (-) indicates the nominative case
(no ending), (I) indicates the accusative case, (A) indicates the dative case, (DA)
indicates the locative case, (DAn) indicates the ablative case, and (lA) indicates
ile: for example, a- (I) (to open).

Words written in the same way may occasionally have different meanings on the
basis of differing accent patterns. These specific accent patterns are also
indicated in the glossary section: for example, artk [artk] (now, henceforth);
artk [artk] (left over, remnant).

(gr.) indicates that the entry word is a term of grammar, for example, edilgen
passive (gr.)

The order of the words in the glossary follows the official Turkish alphabet.
