Yeter, artık konuşma.

Here, yeter means enough or that’s enough.

It comes from the verb yetmek (to be enough / to suffice), but in this sentence it works like a stand-alone expression or exclamation.

So Yeter! is a very common way to say:

• Enough!
• That’s enough!
• Stop! (depending on context)

Artık often means anymore, any longer, from now on, or already depending on context.

In Yeter, artık konuşma, it adds the sense of:

• now
• anymore
• already

So it strengthens the command. It gives the feeling of:

• Enough, don’t talk anymore.
• That’s enough, stop talking now.
• Enough already, don’t talk.

It makes the sentence sound more forceful and final.

Because this is the negative imperative form of konuşmak (to speak / to talk).

Breakdown:

• konuş- = verb stem
• -ma = negative marker

So:

• konuş = speak / talk
• konuşma = don’t speak / don’t talk

In Turkish, the 2nd person singular negative imperative often has no extra ending after the negative marker.

Because Turkish often leaves out the subject when it is understood from the verb form or the situation.

In this sentence, the subject is an implied sen (you, singular).

So the full idea is:

• (Sen) artık konuşma. = You, don’t talk anymore.

Turkish does this very often, especially in commands.

For the informal singular imperative, Turkish often uses the bare command form.

Compare:

• Konuş! = Speak!
• Konuşma! = Don’t speak!

There is no separate -sın or similar ending here.

For other people, the forms do change. For example:

• Konuşmayın! = Don’t speak! (plural or polite singular)
• Konuşmasın! = Let him/her not speak

So konuşma specifically matches informal singular you.

Yes. Konuşma can also be a noun, meaning speech, speaking, or conversation in some contexts.

For example:

• güzel konuşma = good speech / good speaking

But in Yeter, artık konuşma, it is clearly the negative command because of the context.

That is very common in Turkish: the same form can have different grammatical roles, and context tells you which one it is.

You would usually say:

• Yeter, artık konuşmayın.

Here:

• konuşma = don’t talk (singular, informal)
• konuşmayın = don’t talk (plural or polite singular)

So konuşmayın is the better choice if you are addressing:

• several people
• one person formally/respectfully

It can sound quite direct or harsh, depending on tone and situation.

Commands in Turkish, just like in English, can sound strong. Yeter and artık both add force, so together they can sound like:

• Enough already. Stop talking.

That may be appropriate if someone is angry, frustrated, or trying to stop an argument, but it is not especially gentle.

A softer version might be something like:

• Lütfen artık konuşma. = Please don’t talk anymore.
• Biraz sessiz olur musun? = Could you be a little quieter?

The comma separates yeter from the rest of the sentence because yeter functions like an interjection or stand-alone exclamation.

So:

• Yeter, artık konuşma.

is like saying:

• Enough, don’t talk anymore.

In writing, the comma makes the pause clearer. In speech, you would usually hear a pause after yeter.

Yes, Turkish word order is flexible, especially for emphasis.

The given sentence:

• Yeter, artık konuşma.

is very natural.

But you may also hear things like:

• Artık konuşma, yeter.
• Yeter artık, konuşma.

These versions are similar in meaning, but the emphasis changes a little.

For example:

• Yeter artık sounds like enough already
• konuşma then gives the actual command

So the original order is natural and strongly expressive.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• Yeter ≈ yeh-TEHR
• artık ≈ ar-TUHK
• konuşma ≈ ko-NOOSH-ma

A few helpful notes:

• ş is pronounced like sh
• ı is the Turkish vowel with no exact English equivalent; it is like a relaxed, back uh sound
• stress in konuşma is usually on -nuş-: ko-NUŞ-ma

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like:

• yeh-TEHR, ar-TUHK ko-NUŞ-ma

The positive imperative is:

• Konuş! = Speak! / Talk!

So the contrast is:

• Konuş! = speak
• Konuşma! = don’t speak

This is a useful pattern to remember:

• bak! = look

• bakma! = don’t look

• git! = go

• gitme! = don’t go

• yap! = do
• yapma! = don’t do it

So konuşma follows a very common Turkish command pattern.
