My closest friend has been by my side since childhood.
Pronunciation: En yah-kun ar-kah-dah-shuhm cho-jook-look-tan beh-ree yah-nuhm-da
Grammar: “Arkadaş” means “friend.” “Arkadaşım” adds the first person singular possessive suffix “-ım” (my friend). “En yakın” means “closest / best.” “Yanımda” uses the locative “-da” with the possessed form “yanım” (my side) to mean “by my side.”
