"The geography teacher is explaining the subject."

Translation: Coğrafya öğretmeni konuyu anlatıyor.

What is the difference between anlatmak and açıklamak, both translated as explain?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Similar to the difference to "to explain" and "to clarify." They are very close in meaning and are interchangeable in most cases.

I wrote "Coğrafya öğretmeni konuyu açiklayor" Why is that marked as wrong if anlatmak and açıklamak are interchangeable?

[bodilgr]

your spelling is incorrect: açıklıyor should be correct

Why "ogretmeni" not "ogretmen"? "Teacher" is the Subject of the Verb should be "ogretmen", right?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is a noun compound, which get the 3rd person possessive suffix :) There is no accusative case on "öğretmen" here. :)

Why not Coğrafyanın öğretmeni?
