Use radyo to talk about radio programmes and the device itself.
The idea
Radyo means radio. Radyoyu marks a specific radio as the object, with linking y before the accusative ending. Radyoda means on the radio; radyodan means from or via the radio. The final back vowel selects -da and -dan.
Examples
- Şimdi radyoda haberleri dinliyorum.I am listening to the news on the radio now.
- Lütfen radyonun sesini kısın.Please turn down the radio.
- Radyoda bir şarkı çalıyor.A song is playing on the radio.
- Duyuruyu radyodan duyduk.We heard the announcement on the radio.
- Bu radyo pille çalışıyor.This radio works with batteries.
- Dedemin eski bir radyosu var.My grandfather has an old radio.
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
Do not confuse radyoda (on the radio) with radyodan (from the radio). The exact meaning of radyo as medium or device depends on context.
