1 Lesson 13 Transportation Ulaşım This lesson will introduce you to: - Verbs of motion - Ways of asking questions about the different modes of transportation - Different types of transportation available in Turkey. It is fairly easy to travel in Turkey whether by plane, bus, train or private car. Daily flights are scheduled between major cities such as İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Adana, Antalya, Samsun, Diyarbakır and Van. The biggest airline is the state owned Turkish Airlines (THY) and it has flights to most of the capitols and big cities in the world. A few private charter and local airlines have been established recently. The most common form of local transportation is the bus. It is commonly used within city limits as well as between cities. Departures are frequent, but you will need a reservation if you are traveling intercity. Buses running intercity are quite modern and service quality is high. It is possible to travel to every corner of the country by bus. There are also private run bus lines and small mini-buses called Dolmuş. Besides buses, most large cities have a variety of public transportation that includes subways, ferries, and taxis. It is quite easy to get a taxi on the roadside or, through a phone call, to your front door. Private transportation is common in big cities. Around 20% of the population owns their vehicles and this number is increasing. These transportation methods are less available in rural areas. 163

Airplane Bicycle Ship Bus Uçak Bisiklet Gemi Otobüs Car Ferry Boat Helicopter Araba Feribot Helikopter Motorcycle Taxi Train Truck Motorsiklet Taksi Tren Kamyon Grammar Note: The verbs to walk, to drive, and to ride. to walk = yürümek to drive = sürmek/gitmek to ride = binmek/gitmek I am going to drive to the gas station. I am walking to the library. Are you going to ride your bicycle to the concert? (Ben) benzin istasyonuna süreceğim. (Ben) kütüphaneye yürüyorum. (Sen) konsere bisikletinle mi gidecek sin? 164

3 2. Listen to the questions and answers about using different forms of transportation. Repeat after the speaker as you read along. How do you go to work? İşe nasıl gidersin? I go by car by bus by train by bicycle by boat by motorcycle by truck Ben arabayla otobüsle trenle bisikletle botla motorsikletle kamyonla giderim. I take the car bus train bicycle boat motorcycle truck I walk Ben arabaya otobüse trene bisiklete bota motorsiklete kamyona Ben yürürüm. binerim. Grammar Note Model: who + the verb of motion + mode of transportation + destination Example: I ride a bus to school. Model : kim (who) + varılacak yer (destination) + ulaşım yolu (mode of transportation) + ile (by) + hareket fiili (the verb of motion) Örnek: Ben okula otobüs ile giderim. Grammar Note: The preposition by in English corresponds to ile in Turkish. The ile proposition follows the mode of transportation. For example: by bus = otobüs ile. by train = tren ile The preposition ile often joins the previous word and becomes the le or -la suffix depending on the vowel of the last syllable in the preceding word. Here is the rule: * If the last syllable contains a, ı, o or u, the preposition ile becomes the suffix la * If the last syllable contains e, i, ö or ü, the preposition ile becomes the suffix le Examples: English Turkish (separate) Turkish (as suffix) by boat bot ile botla by taxsi taksi ile taksiyle (ile becomes yle to mathe transition smooth as taksi ends with a vowel) 165

For example, if you want to go to the Akbank branch (a private bank in Turkey), you would say: - Merhaba, Ben Akbank şubesine nasıl giderim? (Hello. How can I get to the Akbank branch?) - Karşıdaki dolmuşa bin. (Get on the minibus accross the street.) - Tesekkür ederim. (Thank you.) 166
