Göldeki ördekler suyun üzerinde sakin sakin yüzüyor.
The ducks on the lake are calmly swimming on the water.
Pronunciation: Ördek: UR-dehk (ö like French ‘peu’; r is slightly rolled)
Grammar: ‘Ördek’ means ‘duck’. Here it appears as plural ‘ördekler’ (ducks). ‘Yüzüyor’ is present continuous of ‘yüzmek’ (to swim). Adverbs like ‘sakin sakin’ are often doubled for emphasis.
