Fractions Antalya - Kaleici

Another point to note here is how to read fractions. The most commonly used form, x.5, is read as
Picture by slavica
the whole part of the number followed by buçuk. The only exception to this is the 0.5 case, which is
read like the other fractions. For the other fractions, the whole part of the number is read first, and
then the fractional part is read as if it is a seperate number after saying virgül . Acually virgül means Noun states

comma, and this word is used for separating the whole part and the fractional part of a number.
Turkish lesson by admin
Comma is used instead of point or dot because in Turkish convention fractions are separated by
Level: beginner
comma. Here are some examples:
Turkish Class on Twitter

2.5 --> iki buçuk
104.25 --> yüz dört virgül
yirmi be!
1.705 --> bir virgül yedi yüz
be!
274.5 --> iki yüz yetmi! dört 0.5 --> sıfır virgül be!
buçuk
14.8 --> on dört virgül sekiz 7.52 --> yedi virgül elli iki
48.012 --> kırk sekiz virgül sıfır 305.008 --> üç yüz be! virgül sıfır
on iki sıfır sekiz

We should also look at the translations of fraction denoting adjectives. These are:
Half --> Yarım (Be careful that this is used only as an adjective, the word buçuk is used instead
when you are reading numbers - half a bread is yarım ekmek, one and a half is bir buçuk)
Quarter --> Çeyrek

Some sentences and prases using these adjectives would be:

Half an hour --> yarım saat
Buy half a bread. --> Yarım ekmek al.
Joe made a foul in the last quarter. --> Joe son çeyrekte bir faul yaptı.
Joe made a foul in the last quarter. --> Joe son çeyrekte bir faul yaptı.

Sequence Numbers
Now, let us take a look at how order is indicated using the numbers. The suffix used for order is -
inci. Adding this at the and of any number will give the meaning of order. An important point to pay
attention here, as always, is that this suffix changes according to vowel harmony.

1st --> birinci 2nd --> ikinci (not ikiinci, one vowel falls when there is two next to each
other)

3rd --> üçüncü 4th --> dördüncü

5th --> be!inci 6th --> altıncı (again, not altııncı because one of the double ı´s falls)

7 th --> yedinci 10th --> onuncu

25th --> yirmi be!inci 50th --> ellinci (note the same vowel fall here)
