Explanation
As life changes, new words appear in the language. Words connected with technology and the internet are entering especially fast: smartfon, bloger, onlayn, selfi, podkast, kiberxavfsizlik (cybersecurity). Most of them are taken from English. For example, the word bloger is made from English «blog» — an online diary — and means a person who keeps such a diary. To use a new word correctly, first learn its meaning from a dictionary or from adults; it helps to keep a separate vocabulary notebook for this.
