Learn Turkish: Cumartesi ve pazar evde dinleniyorum. - I am resting at home on Saturday and Sunday.

In English, we say "on Saturday," but in Turkish, you don't need an extra word for "on" when talking about days of the week. You simply state the day: Cumartesi ve pazar translates to "on Saturday and Sunday" all by itself.

Why is pazar written with a lowercase "p"?

Unlike in English, days of the week in Turkish are not capitalized unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence or are part of a specific, exact calendar date. Because Cumartesi is the first word of the sentence, it gets a capital letter, but pazar stays lowercase.

How do we get "at home" from the single word evde?

The base word is ev, which means "home" or "house." The -de attached to it is a common location suffix that means "at," "in," or "on." Putting them together makes evde, which means "at home."

Where is the word for "I" in this sentence?

In Turkish, the person doing the action is built right into the verb using a suffix. In dinleniyorum (I am resting), the -um at the very end means "I". You don't need to use the separate word ben (I) unless you want to add extra emphasis.
