| Hey off-campus trips, jealous yet? |
Today we kept going with the prepositions and the pronouns in Turkish that we started yesterday. Using field methods, we asked about how to say sentences in Turkish instead of the grammar itself, and we formed a list of how to say and place the pronouns in sentences. For example, there are no individual words for the nominative form of I, you, he and she; instead, they put suffixes behind the verb, like /-rim/. This is so complicated but fun to learned because it is a completely different system from English and other languages I know.
After learning these, we did some worksheets to apply what we learned to reality. We tried to find new words from analyzing and summarizing the root and affixes of the Turkish words we know. And we end the day by asking and learning some simplest greetings and short sentences in Turkish.
