Abstract
The article deals with Russian prefixed verbs of motion in the reflection of the Turkish language. The topic is relevant due to the fact that in recent years the role of Russian language learning in Turkey is increasing because of the expansion of economic and cultural relations between the two countries. The aim of the study is to create a linguodidactic basis for developing methodological recommendations for teaching Russian prefixed verbs of motion to Turkish students. Different methods have been used to realize the goal. The article is based on the dissertations, textbooks and manuals on the Russian language for foreigners, scientific works comparing the Russian and Turkish languages. The study of verbs of motion in the practical course of the Russian language for Turkish students has a special place. Russian and Turkish language speakers perceive the world and their identity differently. The differences between the pictures of the world are reflected in culture and language, its vocabulary and grammatical categories. Thus, while there are universals in the verb systems of the Russian and Turkish languages, there are also significant differences in the idea of action, state, change, movement, denoted by verb units in the two languages. Russian prefixed verbs of motion do not have exact equivalents in Turkish and are translated by means of verbs with different root or translation transformations. The results of the comparative description of Russian prefixed verbs of motion and transferring their meanings in Turkish, and the identified differences served as the basis for developing methodological recommendations for teaching Russian prefixed verbs of motion to Turkish students, taking into account their native language. Basing on the research, a system of teaching prefixed verbs of motion to Turkish students, including methods of verb presentation and consolidation in oral and written speech, was developed. The prospects of this work are to create a nationally-oriented textbook on the topic “Russian prefix verbs of motion”.

The non-transitive verbs of motion with the prefix при- (pri-) correspond to the Turkish verb gelmek (прийти – to come), as well as the verbs varmak (добраться – to get to), uğramak (зайти – I came (приехал) to have some fun, but I am bored here, and I want to go home again (A. Chekhov, “Ivanov”). Sözüm ona eğlenmek için geldim buraya, işte burada da sikiliyorum, eve dönmek istiyorum. | |

PERFECTİVE | IMPERFECTİVE |
To whom? To what? | |
Verbs with the prefix под- (pod-) are conveyed by the Turkish verb gelmek and the adverb yanına, if the movement is directed to an animate person (to approach someone); when the movement is directed to an object the verb yaklaşmak (to approach something) is used, and also the verb gelmek. Metin approached (подошел к) the teacher and asked a question. Metin öğretmenin yanına geldi ve bir soru sordu. Nur walked up to (подошла к) the university and decided to wait for her friend. | |
