ヒントとコツ (3)

💡

Smile!

Turkish people value warmth. A smile with your 'Merhaba' makes a huge difference.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Greetings and Farewells (Greetings)
💡

When in doubt, Siz

If you aren't sure, use 'siz'. It is never rude to be too polite.

💡

Separate it!

Always write the particle as a separate word. It's the most common mistake.

Meeting a New Neighbor

Review Summary

  • Greeting + Name
  • Verb + -sınız
  • Adım + [Name]
  • Nasılsınız?

よくある間違い

Using the informal 'Sen' (Nasılsın) with a stranger can seem rude. Always use the formal 'Siz' (Nasılsınız) initially.

Wrong: Nasılsın? (to a stranger)
正解: Nasılsınız? (to a stranger)

While grammatically possible, it is redundant. 'Adım' already implies 'My name'.

Wrong: Benim adım Alex'dir.
正解: Adım Alex.

Mixing a polite greeting with an informal question creates a register mismatch. Keep it formal until invited otherwise.

Wrong: Merhaba, nasılsın?
正解: Merhaba, nasılsınız?
