"Hayır, ben Japon değilim, Çinliyim."

Translation: No, I am not Japanese, I am Chinese.

Is "J" pronounced like the "je" in French?

A vocalized "sh" sound basically?

[mizinamo]

Exactly.

You realise how compact and efficient turkish is as you painstaking type the very long translation of japon degilim, Çinliyim on your phone's small keyboard

[mohsenkari5]

Why is (ben japonli degilim) wrong?

[mizinamo]

Because japon already means a Japanese person.

So japonlu would mean something like "someone who comes from Japanese" -- it makes no sense.

Why does Japon mean Japanese person, but Cin not Chinese person?
