@turkishonboard: ❓Why do Turks add “m” before a repeated word? (e.g kitap mitap, çocuk mocuk, adam madam, doktor moktor…) They usually do it when they want to express that the mentioned noun is not the only thing involved or not particularly important. 📌 Markete gittim, ekmek mekmek aldım. (I went to the market and got bread and stuff.) → The person bought bread, but the phrasing suggests that they might have bought other things too. 📌Sınav için not mot çıkardım ama çalışmadım. (I took notes or something, but I didn’t study.) → The speaker acknowledges taking notes but implies it wasn’t serious or thorough. #turkish #learnturkish #turkishteacher #turkishcourse #speakturkish #turkishlanguage #turkishgrammar #learningturkish #studyturkish
