112 is the emergency number in Türkiye. This lesson practises a few opening exchanges, not a complete call. The dialogue and the street address are invented for language practice.
The idea
Keep the event and the location in separate, short statements. Ne oldu? asks what happened; Bir kaza oldu reports an accident. Nerede? asks where; Ankara'dayım names your city, and Açık adresiniz nedir? asks for the full address. Lütfen yavaş konuşun asks the other person to slow down.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic Turkish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Burada means “here”, but does not name a location for the listener. İmdat! and Yardım edin! call for help; neither supplies an address. In the role-play, follow the location question with the invented address, not just burada.
Try it yourself
Complete the report of a finished event: An accident happened. Bir kaza ___. (oldu / oluyor)
Show answer or example answer
oldu
oldu: the accident has already happened. This past form reports the event; oluyor would present it as happening now.
The reply gives a city and street. Complete the question asking for the full address. Açık ___ nedir? (adresiniz / adınız)
Show answer or example answer
adresiniz
adresiniz: the reply gives a city, district and street, so the question asks for an address. Adınız would ask the caller’s name.
Complete: One person is injured. Bir ___ yaralı. (kişi / kişiler)
Show answer or example answer
kişi
kişi: bir already specifies one person. The plural kişiler would not fit that number.
The operator speaks too fast. Complete the request: Please speak slowly. Lütfen ___ konuşun. (yavaş / hızlı)
Show answer or example answer
yavaş
yavaş: the caller finds the speech too fast. This asks for a slower pace; hızlı would request the opposite.
