Şey means ''X'' in Turkish

 

[Poolboy_Ümit]

Şey means ''X'' in Turkish

No man :hand:
şey means think for example
its a think = bu şey

 

[AntalyaIstanbul]

No man :hand:
şey means think for example
its a think = bu şey

Right, it is not wrong. Don't think like English language. Şey = bilinmeyen = X

Şeeeeey.. It is used for "weeeell"... "hmmm." etc.

In rural areas, you hear it as "Şiiiy"..

 

[awaqac]

şey = "you know..."

hi there broken baby welcome to the forum

this was an old thread and the starter took the huff about something and deleted all his posts ..so silly

anyway the actual meaning of şey is thing
and its used much as we use it in english when you dont know an actual word or have forgotten it
eg whats that thing called
you know that thing etc
thingy
thingamajig thingamabob

its also used in phrases
bir şey değil... its nothing
hiç bir şey nothing at all
bir şey olmaz not possible

If you go into a shop and see something you want but you don't know the Turkish name you could pick it up and ask Bu şey nekadar and you are asking how much is this thing.

 

[broken_baby]

well thank you very much for that thingy bob
