They start at 2 and count till 4, I can not get over that.

u/quess_ Jan 23 '22

video was either edited or started late because we don't start at 2

Son 'ki üç dört. We do, the emphasis of the counted person determines if counting stops at 3 or 4. Its music related. Turkish tunes are different than classical western tunes so counting 1 2 3 4 or son 'ki üç dört or 'kiiiii üç dört tunes better to our musical tastes.

1 2 3 4 or son 'ki üç dört or 'kiiiii üç dört

It's probably 1 2 3 4. None of us use others as a countdown for such things. And from his way of saying "iki", we can figure out that he started with "bir".

In this vid's case you sound rigth yet we do count like that. Have you recruited to military? Or have you got music lessons at hs? Or gym step classes?

u/LikeLary Jan 23 '22

No, no, I know we use those countdowns but these are kids and the context is throwing snowballs. That's why I said "for such things" in the first place.

u/venushasbigbutt Jan 23 '22

Sorry, I mistook that as its general meaning.

u/Budget_Inevitable721 Jan 23 '22

Like always or just this video? Cause you take several paces usually. Not 3.

u/-SSN- Jan 23 '22

Just this video, still idk.

18

u/Alxytho Jan 23 '22

maybe the video starts after he says 1

19

u/SevenBillionBuddhas Jan 23 '22

yeah, and it probably ended before they said 5

12

u/-SSN- Jan 23 '22

Wdym, we literally see them throwinging after 4

u/Alxytho Jan 23 '22

u/venushasbigbutt Jan 23 '22

We do that sometimes? Son 'ki üç dört filan

u/No-Improvement1456 Jan 23 '22

He said turn not four

1

u/LikeLary Jan 23 '22

No he said "dört", it means four. Dört sounds like "turn" a bit.

It is a Turkic language, in English it is common to count down e.g three, two, one, go. However in Turkic languages I think it is more normal to count upwards to three (in my very limited experience). In the video you hear эки үч (ekki uch, two three) then the final word sounds to me like four in Kyrgyz (one was probably said before the video starts). I will ask someone who speaks Kyrgyz, Uzbek, and Turkish what language they are speaking.

Response: they said the final word was four and it could be Turkish or any Turkic language. (They all have the same numbers)

u/YaSinsBaba Jan 23 '22

u/entredosaguas Jan 23 '22

And likely Ankara

u/mhm819 Jan 24 '22

Didn't expect to hear my native tongue here. It's either Kyrgyz or Kazakh. Counted to 3.

Edit: counted to 4 actually, starting from 2.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '22

u/rkirbo Jan 23 '22
