What locals actually say

Don’t wait for me, I’m on the marshrutka.

Men marşrutkadaman, bekleme.

Marşrutka is the everyday post-Soviet transport word used in Crimea, with the Crimean Tatar locative ending -da and first-person ending -man.

Mum, I’m already at the station.

Ana, men artıq vokzaldam.

Vokzal, rather than the more formal istasyon, reflects the Russian-Ukrainian everyday vocabulary common in Ukraine, while -dam marks “at the station.”

Buy some tvorog on your way home.

Eve qaytqanda biraz tvorog alıp kel.

Tvorog is the familiar Ukrainian/Russian loan for cottage cheese in local household speech, and qaytqanda means “when you are returning.”

Can I pay by card?

Kartamen tölesem olur mı?

The conditional construction tölesem olur mı softens a permission request, while the instrumental ending in kartamen marks the means of payment.

How do I get to the post office?

Poçtağa qalay barsam olur?

The Crimean Tatar construction qalay barsam olur asks politely for a route, with qalay meaning how and the conditional form barsam.

My younger brother is still asleep.

İnim ele uyqıda.

İni specifically means younger brother, and ele is the Crimean Tatar word for still or yet.

I have to send this report by five.

Bu rapornı saat beşke qadar yollamam kerek.

The first person necessity construction yollamam kerek means I have to send it, while qadar sets the deadline.

It is chilly today, put something on.

Bügün ava serin, üstüñe bir şey kiygin.

Ava is the Crimean Tatar word for weather or air, and the soft imperative ending in kiygin gives familiar everyday advice.
