"Say it clearly!"
Translation:Açıkça söyle!
20 CommentsThis discussion is locked.
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?
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
as I don't know how to answer two persons, see what I wrote to rolandcassar please
Hello Heather
Where is the 'it' part in this???
"Say it clearly!" Translation: Açıkça söyle!
Söylemek (verb) --> "To say."
Söy + -le --> "Say it."
The, "it" may be more implied in, "söyle."
Thank you.
Revisiting this question, I am wondering whether you could make clear; does the phrase imply "Pronounce [this] distinctly" or "Speak frankly" or can it mean either? Thank you.
Hello Eva

You are correct. It can mean both.
An example would be;
To remain calm in a difficult situation & convey information clearly & concisely. Maybe at the scene of an accident?
Thank you.

How interesting; you have given a third meaning to add to the two I suggested: "to convey meaning clearly" LOL
in another exercise involving translating this to english, a moderator had posted that "net soyle" would be a better translation. Well i typed net soyle and was marked wrong.
