Learn Turkish, one suffix at a time
Ekle is an iPhone app for learning Turkish. Look up any word the way you met it, see exactly how it is built, and keep it in spaced repetition.
gördüğümde — gör, stem. düğ, participle. üm, 1sg possessive. de, locative. "when I saw".
“when I saw” · görmek · to see
A Turkish learning app that starts from the word you met
Ekle is an iPhone app for learning Turkish through the words you actually run into — in a series, a book, a menu or a message. Type the word exactly as you saw it. Ekle finds the dictionary entry underneath, splits the word into its stem and suffixes, and names every one of them.
It works because Turkish builds words by stacking suffixes. A learner who meets gördüğümde cannot look it up until they know it comes from görmek; Ekle does that step for you and shows the pieces.
How to learn Turkish with Ekle
- Look it up. Any inflected form, offline, with no account. Meanings come in English, Russian, German or French, and a lookup never has a daily limit.
- Keep it. Save the word in one tap and it joins spaced repetition. Saving is unlimited; saving and reviewing use a free Sign in with Apple, and the free tier has a daily review limit.
- Go deeper with Premium. Full conjugation and declension tables, an explanation of what every suffix does, the A1–B2 grammar reference, a Reader for pasted text and every frequency deck.
Who it is for
Ekle is a power tool, not a course. It suits learners who already study Turkish — with a course, a teacher or a show — and want to understand the words they meet. It is for iPhone (iOS 16.4 or later); the interface is in English and Russian.
The word you meet is almost never the word a dictionary lists.
You type the word exactly as you met it — say, gördüğümde. A flat dictionary has no entry for that at all: it lists only görmek, three suffixes away. Ekle goes the other way — it starts from the form you actually saw and shows how it was built.
WHAT YOU TYPE
gördüğümde — gör, stem. düğ, participle. üm, 1sg possessive. de, locative.
WHAT THE DICTIONARY HOLDS
görmek — görmek, stem.
Look up any inflected form
Type the word exactly as you found it — conjugated, declined, stacked with suffixes. Ekle finds the dictionary entry underneath.
Every suffix, labelled
Every piece of the word gets its own name — participle, possessive, locative. See what the word is doing, not just what it means.
One tap into spaced repetition
Save a word straight from its breakdown. Spaced repetition schedules the review for you.
Looks up offline, no account
The dictionary and the morphology table live on the device, so looking a word up needs no connection and no account. Saving words and reviewing them use a free Sign in with Apple.
A power tool, not a course.
Courses teach you phrases and move on. They never explain why the suffixes stack the way they do.
Turkish dictionaries are flat: type a form they don't list and you get nothing back.
Ekle starts from the word you actually met, and shows how it was built.
