It's elma in turkish as well. As I understood it, all these languages named the fruit after the place they got it from - there was a city called alma or something like that. It's the same as how in Turkish and Greek orange (the fruit) is called portakal and portokali both in reference to Portugal which sold it to them.
In support of endangered Crimean Tatar language, we have started the discussion and hope that it will help approve it by the Duolingo team.
'Pedig' means 'and' or 'but'? Can that sentence be translated as 'This is an apple, but that is a chair'?

I would translate it, at least in this case, with "whereas" or "while", but I didn't risk it so I don't know whether it is accepted or not.

I personally think translating it the way Hungarians are actually saying it is very useful. Am I correct in understanding this sentence in this manner: this one apple, that and, one chair

No. At least because here "egy" is definitely not a numeral but an article. So if you really want to do that it should rather be "this an apple, that on the other hand a chair".

The pronunciation of "szek" did not sound as if it ended in a k at all - sounded much more like a "t" to me and I listened to it several times.
there's no "and" within the original sentence. Answer without it should be accepted
