In this episode, I explain how to ask your friends "True!" or  "Exactly!" in Japanese. Just one phrase. But you have to use a natural one. Check it out!

How do you say "True!" in Japanese?

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”

This episode narrates the phrase: where there is smoke, there is fire.

American English Proverbs

3- Where there is smoke, there is fire

"
Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?
"
[00:00] Welcome. Hoşgeldiniz. To another episode of Turkish haikus.
[00:08] Happy Friday. Hayırlı Cumalar.
[00:12] So, today's haiku goes like this.
"
Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?
"
[00:23] It ends in a question, right? Let's hear it one more time:
"
Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?
"
[00:36] And let's try to translate it to English, before we start dissecting it.
"
It's been three weeks.
My voice is now familiar.
Are you used to it?
"
[00:51] And, let's dissect it.
[00:53] Üç hafta geçti. The first line. "Üç hafta" means "three weeks"; "geçti" means, in this case, "it's been", "it has passed". It's been three weeks. Üç hafta geçti.
[01:09] Now, the second line. Sesim artık tanıdık. The first word, "sesim" means "my voice". "Ses" literally means "sound", it could also be somebody's "voice". "Sesim" is "my voice". "Artık" means like "now", "from now on" like there's been a change. "Tanıdık" is "familiar". It's from the verb "tanımak": "to know someone", "to know something" even. "To recognize". "Seni tanıyorum" means "I know you", "I recognize you". "Tanışmak" is "to meet someone for the first time". It's in the same phrase when we say "tanıştığıma memnun oldum": "nice to meet you".
[02:08] Now the final line: "Alıştınız mı?" is a question. You might recognize the "mı" at the end. And "alıştınız mı?", I am speaking to you in the second person plural. I am a little bit formal or you might just be more than one person. This is from "alışmak", "to get used to something". It's in the past. "Alış-tı-nız" makes it second person plural. "Did you get used to it?" "Alıştınız mı?".
[02:47] You could say, if you are used to it, "Alıştım". "I got used to it". "I am used to it".
[02:54] Well, that's it for the day. I'm just going to read the haiku in Turkish one more time and I'll say goodbye until the next week.

・東北地方の方言で早口言葉の紹介
・早口言葉とは「となりのきゃくはよくかきくうきゃくだ(隣の客はよく柿食う客だ)」のようなフレーズ。早く言うことがポイント。
・「あんだおらのごとあんだあんだ言うげっとおらもあんだのごとあんだあんだ言わねぇがら、もうあんだもおらのごどあんだあんだ言わねぇでけろよ、あんだ」
・意味　”あんた（あなた）、私のことを「あんた、あんた」言うけれど、私も（これからは）あんたのことを「あんた」と言わないから、もうあんたも私のことを「あんた、あんた」言わないでね、あんた。”
