Bunu istiyorum

I want this

معنی

Indicating a preference or purchase.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Pointing with your index finger while saying 'Bunu istiyorum' is generally acceptable in shops, but avoid pointing directly at people, as it can be seen as rude. If you are a guest in a Turkish home, avoid saying 'Bunu istiyorum' about a host's possession. They might feel obligated to give it to you as a gift due to traditional hospitality rules. Saying 'Bunu istiyorum' is often the signal that bargaining is about to end and the final price needs to be settled. In street food culture, 'Bunu istiyorum' is often shortened or replaced by 'Bir tane bundan' (One of these).

💡

The 'N' Factor

Always remember the 'n' in 'Bunu'. Without it, 'Bu-u' is impossible to say in Turkish!

⚠️

Don't be too loud

Turkish culture values a moderate tone. Saying 'BUNU İSTİYORUM!' too loudly can seem aggressive.

No, it's neutral. However, adding 'lütfen' (please) is always better.

No, that would be very strange. Use 'Onunla tanışmak istiyorum' (I want to meet him/her).

'Bunu' is for something you can touch. 'Şunu' is for something a bit further away.

Because 'istemek' is a transitive verb that requires the accusative case suffix on its object.

Say 'Bunu istemiyorum'.

Yes, in very casual speech with friends, but avoid it in formal situations.

In a shop or restaurant, yes. It's the most efficient way to communicate.

Say 'Bunları istiyorum'.

Use 'Bunu rica ediyorum'.

Literally yes, but in Turkish, the present continuous is used for the simple present 'I want'.

It's better to say 'Bu pozisyonu çok istiyorum' (I want this position very much).

Bunu istedim (I wanted this).
