"Eğitim bakanı öğretmenle konuşuyor."

Translation: The minister of education is speaking with the teacher.

[IanBod]

Could this translate to "...with teachers" as well as "...with a teacher"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Nope, "with teachers" would have to have the plural suffix. "öğretmenlerle" :)

[Hasan_SALCIAV]

"Eğitim bakanı öğretmen ile konuşuyor." must be correct?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is and it is accepted. You might have had an error somewhere else in the sentence as we already accept this alternative :)

[Hasan_SALCIAV]

Thank you, yes I think I had an error on website because it did not accept my answer.

[ex_contributor]

this is in the reverse direction; so you are supposed to translate to English! And if you had to write what you hear, öğretmenle and öğretmen ile are pronounced differently, so your answer wouldn't be accepted

[Hasan_SALCIAV]

I can not remember the question with or without voice. Maybe, i made mistake, yes pronunciations are different.
