B2 · Tourism and residents’ interests

Discuss a tourism project while considering different groups and the conditions for compromise.

How the language works

Show different perspectives with tūrğyndar tūrğysynan — “from residents’ perspective” and käsıpkerler üşın — “for business owners”. … eskermei means “without considering…”. Use -men/-ben/-pen qatar for “alongside / as well as”: bağasymen qatar — “alongside its price”, eñbekpen qatar — “alongside work”. Choose the ending according to the word’s final sound. A conclusion should weigh criteria rather than simply list opinions.
