Tavuk

chicken

Turkish → English

Example

Dedemin bahçesinde ondan fazla tavuk var.
There are more than ten chickens in my grandfather’s garden.
Pronunciation: Tavuk: tah-VOOK
Grammar: ‘Tavuk’ means ‘chicken’. Plural is ‘tavuklar’, but after numbers Turkish usually uses the singular form, so ‘on tavuk’ (ten chickens) is correct. ‘Var’ expresses existence (‘there is/are’).
