"Günaydın, tebrik ederim."

Translation: Good morning, congratulations.

[Ghaith.arnaout]

My mother says that to me everyday when i wake up at 12 pm :D

[Annita1980]

Hahahaha

[churaesie]

Is it common to congratulate people in the morning?

[merlinblack256]

This is my pet peeve with Duolingo, many of the phrases do not make a lot of sense. I wonder if the people learning English are getting things like "Goodnight, my motorcycle wears pants." :-P But seriously, it is a common criticism of Duolingo.

[PaulieGlot.]

If Duolingo gave you only common/semantically meaningful sentences, you would only learn the same canned lines, almost like one of those dogs on the Internet that's been trained to say "I love you". You would be able to "translate" many words that you might not know just by inferring from context. Wack-ass sentences are Duolingo's way of getting you to translate each word, and to learn how they are built and how they come together.

[AleksksaStarMoon]

Ahaha =) I study English and Turkish at Duo. We have the same thing: sometimes Turkish phrases do not make sense. But in learning English, everything is very strict, to the extent that they change the structure in Russian to learn the rules of English.

[AleksksaStarMoon]

We also analyze the context

[mus615010]

Well if you own a talking dog he will probably say it to you , otherwise i cannot imagine that it can be used in the same sentence lol

[ilknr1]

No. They are two different sentences.

[Aerologia]

Can't say in what world. But I guess you could if you want, since being awake means you're back to being conscious, all things are in your control now(partly).

[youngx62]

So "tebrik", means congratulations? or is it "Ederim" means from me

[LadyNurington]

"Tebrikler" is "Congratulations" and "Tebrik ederim" would be "I congratulate (you)"

[9of16]

Ederim means I do. Etmek means to do.

[Guillermo74491]

The verb is phrasal: tebrik etmek = to congratulate. Eder(im) has the subject of (I) thus "I congratulate (you being implied)."

[EmmaEmma165002]

You can't use tebrik without ederim

[MaxwellSchneider]

If the sentiment comes from me and my friend, could I say 'Günaydın, tebrik ederiz'?

[ex_contributor]

yes, interesting point of view :)

[AlsEenPoffertje]

Is the plural form used when addressing multiple people, or when multiple people are the ones speaking? Both?

[ex_contributor]

"tebrik ederiz" would be used only if multiple people are talking (or you are talking for multiple people, for your family, company etc) - it literally means "we congratulate"

[AlsEenPoffertje]

Is 'tebrikler' also correct? If so, what's the difference?

[ex_contributor]

they are both correct and there is no difference

[tasnim657347]

What the meaning of (ederim)

[Yaarkaiz]

I do

[Stiofn314845]

My friend had a baby this morning so when I saw her I said 'Günaydın tebrik ederim '

[Truthxsaber]

I wrote, good morning, I congratulate you.

[LadyNurington]

"I congratulate you" translates as "Ben seni tebrik ederim". That's incorrect for the phrase above.

[Sracalise]

Could gunaydin also be translated as good day? It was not accepted.

[ilknr1]

You can use "İyi günler" for good day

[derekantrican]

Can you explain to me why gunaydin seems to be the exception (of "time of day greetings") in that it doesn't have "İyi"?

[ilknr1]

Because we generally say "günaydın" in the mornings, so this corresponds with your saying "good morning". But we may also use "iyi sabahlar" or "hayırlı sabahlar".

[PaulieGlot.]

So it's similar to the way we say "Morning!" in English?

[LadyNurington]

Günaydın means "good morning", you can't translate it as "good day".

[dorienmeima]

literally it is I congratulate! So why is it seen as wrong??

[SarahTarek8]

It is used as a phrase not like a sentence

[Ishana92]

how is ı pronounced?

[Eva297369]

I had the same question! It was explained to me that "ı" has a similar sound to the "i" in the suffix "-tion". Almost like "uh". Sometimes you can catch it in the aidio played slowly.

[PaulieGlot.]

The tongue is in the same location as in /u/, but the lips are relaxed as in /i/.

[karim887670]

Difference between Rica edermi and tebrik ederim.Thank you soo much

[Ibranzzal]

Tebrick is the same like مبروك

[JuliaMVA]

Tebrik ederim and tebrik ederiz means the same?

[Yaarkaiz]

No. ederim means 'I do', ederiz means We do

[shizagillani]

What about edersin?

[katerina431311]

I think i have heard this in some turkish series too:

Iyi guner
Or something like that.
Is it something i can say instead of gunaydin?

[Blink-1234]

Günaydın tebrikler
