This is just incredible. I'm studying a linguistics conversion programme and our professors just gave us a bunch of books chapters and readings to read without explaining anything. I was honestly struggling to find what are the key terms and what are the essential knowledge points. binge watching your videos was more helpful than 3 weeks of uni.

This man can't afford to stop making videos, he just can't.

Super impressive delivery
He makes me interested in subjects I utterly hate.

[moueejoo]

I love this. Really helpful for when you're in need of a quick check on previous lessons.

I’m talking from Brazil, just watched your syntax video, couldn’t be better, hoping to watch many others, keep up!

Thanks for the great lesson professor. I can give some examples in Turkish.
Hastane > hospital (hasta + hane)(hasta means patient and hane means house, but you don't pronounce the "h" sound)
Başkent > capital city (baş means capital, main and kent means city)
We also produce different words by adding affixes to them. For example:
Kitaplık > bookcase ( Kitap means book, when you add the -lik suffix it changes its meaning from book to bookcase.)
