#9 Travel Notes: Déjà vu
(=sth you feel you have seen before)
▶️ There are a few things in 🇹🇷Turkey that look strangely familiar to someone living in 🇺🇿Uzbekistan. Here’s what:
🔹 Dummy police cars – Can’t control the traffic? Put up a few dummies (=fake object) to scare at least those who aren’t familiar with the local area.
🔹 Shops called “markets” – “Shop” doesn’t sound as cool and modern as “market”, which is derived from (=comes from) the globally used Anglicism (=English word in another language) “mini market”. Sadly, it’s a mistranslation.
🔹 Education centres – Uzbekistan is so full of education centres that there’s hardly room for anything else. Foreign tourists often have no clue what this IELTS thing is in Uzbekistan. In Turkey, however, it’s a thing (=it’s a phenomenon, sth that people know about) as well.
🔹 Big Bens – These classically designed modern-day clock towers are able to take any small town to the next level.

#135 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Qani Afandi? Men topdim!
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Where is Afandi? I found!
✅ Well, it should be:
Where is Afandi? I found him!
❓Why?
❗️ Every language has transitive verbs and intransitive verbs. What’s that? Transitive verbs need an object, intransitive verbs don’t. Unfortunately, the same verbs can be different in another language. The Uzbek topmoq is intransitive while the English find is transitive.
