Getting Turkish to German right
Check suffixes, vowel harmony, and dotted versus dotless i. In the translated result, review noun capitalization, compound words, and formal Sie versus informal du.
Turkish to German: make subjects, suffixes and address explicit
Turkish can express information through suffixes and leave the subject unstated. German may require an explicit pronoun, article or different sentence structure. Translate a complete passage when possible, then check that the German result assigns each action to the correct person.
Resolve omitted subjects and ambiguous o
Turkish o can refer to he, she or it. German er, sie or es depends on the intended person or noun; the translator cannot always infer that from a single sentence. Add context when a name or referent is missing. Do not treat a confidently phrased German pronoun as evidence that the original specified gender.
Match sen and siz to the relationship
Sen generally addresses one person informally, while siz can be plural or polite singular. German may need du, ihr or Sie. Check who is receiving the message and keep the chosen form consistent. A workplace message to a group and a formal request to one person need different verb and pronoun choices.
Keep Turkish characters and review suffix meaning
Turkish i and ı are different letters; dotted capital İ and dotless capital I must also survive copying. Preserve personal names and addresses rather than replacing characters for convenience. Suffixes can express possession, location or direction: evde means at home or in the house, while evden means from home or from the house. Verify these relationships in the German result.
Questions about this language pair
Should Turkish personal names be translated into German?
Normally preserve the person’s own spelling. For official use, follow the spelling required by the relevant identity document or receiving institution.
Why does the German result contain extra small words?
German often needs articles and explicit pronouns where Turkish uses other structures. Extra words are not automatically errors; check the meaning and referents.
