USEFUL TURKISH PHRASESWritten Turkish is phonetically consistent, i.e. it is pronounced as it is written. Also, every letter is pronounced.

Some Turkish letters have different pronunciations (the symbols in / / are the international phonetic symbols of IPA):

Vowels:˝ – as the ‘e’ in open or the ‘a’ in ago

ö – as the ‘i’ in girl ü – as the ‘u’ in cure and few

Consonants:ç – as the ch in child

- This letter is soundless. It's purpose is to elongate the nearest

preceding vowel.

˛ – as the sh in brush
