Work, school and offices

What holds these lists together

Turkish builds many job names with an ending on a noun, much like English “-er” or “-ist”: gazeteis the newspapergazetecithe person who writes for it; temizlikis cleaningtemizlikçithe cleaner If you know the building block, you understand new words before you have learnt them. Work is iş, a profession meslek, and the two are easily mixed up. The lists lead from classroom and office to applications and contracts and to the authorities, where signature, application and deadline are waiting for you.

For example: ders (lesson, class; subject), meslek (profession, occupation), başvuru (application), departman (department), form (form), hizmet (service)

Spread across the levels

The category runs across the levels — it is an area, not a difficulty. If you practise it, you can also choose a level at the top of the practice page and then get only the part that sits there.
