The difference between "most of the time" and "in general." i.e. not much real difference in practice, just synonyms.
Maybe the idea is that each one make its own findings, but it could help a table with "ordered" adverbs (for example the popular table "always,usually,often,sometimes,never" of english courses)
Great idea for a Tips and Notes for this skill! To expand on your idea, also another ordered list for "a little, quite, very, completely...." And a third for "maybe, probably, definitely..." :-)
tjasonham, i have found that: http://mylanguages.org/turkish_adverbs.php, with a list of adverbs of time, adverbs of place, adverbs of manner and adverbs of frequency. Enjoy it!
It is already accepted. You might have had a mistake somewhere else :)
Isn't 'çoğunlukla' taken from çok? In which case shouldn't mostly also be accepted?

Hello
By word class "çoğunlukla" is an (adverb) I do not know the root word if there is one. "Mostly" is an acceptable synonym to "usually."
Thank you

Çoğunlukla should means 'with the majority' as well, since çoğunluk means majority, i am right?

Hello.
"O çoğunlukla su içer." Translation: He usually drinks water.
Çoğunlukla should means 'with the majority' as well, since çoğunluk means majority, i am right?
Turkish suffix "-la." - With, shortened form of "-ile."
In Duo's Turkish question "Çoğunlukla" with the "-la" suffix has a different meaning.
Çoğunlukla - "usually" - (adverb)
Majority - (noun) ekseriyet, reşitlik, yetişkinlik.
You may already know this? Click on "more" to the left of the Turkish flag in the icons. Duo has a word dictionary on word usage with examples. Not word class or meaning though.
Çoğunluk - majority - (noun) Definite (accusative) çoğunluğu, (plural) çoğunluklar.
The ambiguity in meaning occurs when the suffix "-la" is used.
Thank you.
So 'Çoğunlugun çoğunlukla çocuklar var' would mean 'The majority mostly have children' ?
