Turkish Days, Months, Seasons and Telling the Time Flashcards
Making plans in Turkish needs three small vocabularies: the days of the week (pazartesi to pazar), the months (ocak to aralık) and the words for parts of the day. This deck adds the relative expressions learners reach for constantly, such as geçen hafta (last week), gelecek hafta (next week) and öbür gün (the day after tomorrow).
The second half of the deck is telling the time. Turkish uses two patterns: saat üçü çeyrek geçiyor (it's quarter past three) to say what time it is, and saat üçü çeyrek geçe (at quarter past three) to say when something happens. Each clock card was generated with TurkLogic's tested number engine, so the case endings on the hour (üçü, beşe) are exactly right.

Days, Months & Time flashcards: FAQ
Are Turkish days and months capitalised?
Only when they are part of a specific date, as in 29 Ekim 1923 or 14 Ekim 2026 Çarşamba. In ordinary sentences they are lower case: pazartesi görüşürüz, ocakta kar yağar.
What is the difference between çeyrek geçiyor and çeyrek geçe?
Geçiyor answers 'What time is it?' (Saat kaç? – Saat üçü çeyrek geçiyor). Geçe answers 'At what time?' (Saat kaçta? – Saat üçü çeyrek geçe). For 'to' the pair is var / kala: beşe çeyrek var, beşe çeyrek kala.
How do I study the Days, Months & Time flashcards?
Press the card (or Space) to see the answer, then choose Know or Again.
