Hello

"Say it clearly!"
Translation: Açıkça söyle!

Why is "Açıkça de!" wrong?

Açıkça de. - Clearly it is.

Açıkça de. - Clearly it is in the open.

Not 100% accurate but close.

EDITED - Açıkça de means: say "clearly." Correct translation provided by

Ektoraskan (MOD) I'm very grateful.

[Ektoraskan]

Açıkça de means: say "clearly"

You want the other person to pronounce the word "açıkça".

Hello

Thank you very much.

[Masseman]

Would "Onu açıkça söyle!" work?

[Ektoraskan]

Yeah, but that's more like "Say that clearly".

[skstudio]

So "it" is usually translated to "o" only if it is a subject? Through the whole course "o" = "it/he/she," and in a combination with a noun "that," therefore it was also my first guess to use "onu" in this sentence.

I don't see an answer to Simon62188's question, so: Why is "Açıkça de" wrong?

[SabineBergmann1]

I am learning too, so I am not really sure. I think that it is a set phrase. You are saying here that somebody should say open, frankly his opinion and not that he may pronounce a word better, clearer. I think therefore is used söylemek here. Demek would be used if you refer to a clearer pronounciation.
May anybody correct me if I am wrong

[Eva242549]

Speak frankly. Would that not be the natural English way to say this?

[Heather431262]

When do you use demek then?
