  1. "Thank you" is written like Teşekkür ederim. [1] It's pronounced Teh-sheh-kull-erh Ed-erh-im. Practice saying the words out loud, slowly first, until you perfect it. It's best to learn how to write the words as well. Try perfecting the first part first before learning the second part.
  2. If you're visiting Turkey or Cyprus, there will be a lot of Turkish people around. [2] Unfortunately, not all of them will speak English. Try asking a tour guide how to say "thank you" or ask a friend to talk you through it. Don't be embarrassed about it, Turkish people will be flattered that you're learning their language.

  4.

      • Teşekkür ederim literally means "I give you my thanks" so you might have to type that instead. If all else fails, search on Google Translate from Turkish to English, type in Teşekkür ederim and see the translation in English.
        Thanks
