"When I was a teenager I also thought that I just have to listen and my Turkic blood
will make me understand." This is a very funny, and I think many Turkish people who have not heard real Turkic languages actually believe this. za20 You are a Turkish native speaker, aren't you?

This reminds me of what some Turks today with pan-Turkist leanings like to express. I guess that it's a type of validation by association - in this case the rather sedentary and westernized Anatolian Turks invoke a link to modern steppe nomads who descend from the fearsome auxiliaries in Chingis Khan's armies among other things. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No, he is not a professor. Can I withhold the correct answer until za20 gives his answer? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, as much as I feel connected to my Central Asian relatives, I am very sure that it is not as easy as some people think and will take some time and effort. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Of course, I can understand it, Kazakh and Turkish grammars are almost the same. But there are some words whose meanings I don't know but they do not prevent me from understanding the general meaning of it. Additionally there are many people also on this forum who claim that Turkic Languages are so different that they can not communicate. I don't know what are their problems with Turkic Languages. And I never claimed that Kazakh and Turkish speakers can communicate perfectly %100. But they can communicate in basic daily conversations, if they speak slowly and if they use basic words. So what are basic daily conversations ? These are basic daily conversations: introduction, shopping, asking directions, asking way, at pharmacy, at the doctor's, at post office, ordering meal at a restaurant, buying a ticket, renting a car, hobbies etc. So Kazakh and Turkish speakers can communicate in these basic daily situations, but if they speak slowly and if they use basic words. And please look: This is my first message on this thread. Look at my message of Nr. 54, in this message, I said this: "From my experience, I can say that if two Turkic people meet and if they speak slowly and if they use basic words, they can easily communicate, at least everyday-conversation basic level. There is no problem. When I was in Germany, I had some Kazakh friends from Kazakhstan who had never exposure to Turkish before, we managed to communicate. The grammars of the Turkic Languages are almost the same. There are some pronounciation differences, and some wocabulary differences. If we use basic wocabulary, we can communicate." I wrote so but you "Solka" did not understand what I meant. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Cute. It seems that your skirting solka's questions.
I'm curious za20... What are these Kazakh samples about? I mean it's not enough just to say "of course I can understand them". Could you give us a summary of the content? (although this is potentially fraught with manipulation since you have time to consult a dictionary or even a grammar book and neatly stay consistent with your claim that you as an Anatolian Turk have (an unusually) high level of passive understanding of Kazakh without any formal study of the language (presumambly). 2 persons have voted this message useful |
