Hello Elif! Welcome.
Hello Emre! Glad to be here.
How are you today, Elif?
I am very well, Emre. How are you?
I am well too and very excited.
Why are you so excited?
Because I bought something new online.
Great! What did you buy online?
I bought a nice copper coffee pot.
Very nice! Did the package arrive at home?
Yesterday the courier came, but I was not home.
Ah, this situation happens very often in Istanbul!
At that time I was at work and could not open the door.
Did the courier leave a note at the door?
He left a note at the door and sent an SMS.
So what did the message say?
Your package is waiting at the nearest cargo branch.
Then today you are going to the branch!
Exactly, I am going to pick up my package.
A great topic! Today we are talking about this.
Great! What do we say at the cargo branch?
Here are six essential phrases we are learning today for this.
Let us look at them in order!
Our first phrase: Kargomu almak istiyorum. I want to pick up my package.
A very essential and polite sentence!
Our second phrase: Takip numaram burada. Here is my tracking number.
Our third phrase: Kargo benim adıma. The package is in my name.
Our fourth phrase: Kimliğim burada. Here is my ID.
Our fifth phrase: Nereye imza atıyorum? Where do I sign?
And our sixth phrase: Bir şey ödüyor muyum? Do I pay anything?
These six phrases are really very useful!
You are right. Everyone needs these phrases at the branch.
Now let us first tell our own package stories.
Great idea! Let us start with the stories.
I went to pick up my gift package for Can!
Great! Can will be very happy on his birthday.
I bought a special art book for my friend Can.
Can loves reading books very much!
His birthday is this weekend.
You were not home yesterday, right?
Unfortunately, I was at work and could not receive the package.
Because of this, you set out early in the morning!
Early in the morning, I put on my coat and went out.
How was the weather in the morning in Besiktas?
The weather was a bit cool, but the sun was shining.
Did you walk to the Besiktas branch?
I walked to the branch and arrived in ten minutes.
Was the inside of the branch crowded?
Two people were waiting in line inside.
You were lucky. The line was short and ended quickly!
Three minutes later, it was my turn.
What did you say first to the clerk at the counter?
I smiled and said: Kargomu almak istiyorum.
You started nicely. And then? I am listening.
The clerk asked for the tracking code.
Did you show your phone? Did the clerk see it?
I told the clerk: Takip numaram burada.
What did the clerk do?
He typed in the code and found the package.
Did he also check the recipient's name? Was everything all right?
Yes, I said: Kargo benim adıma.
Then did he ask for your ID? That is normal too.
He did. I said: Kimliğim burada, and handed it over.
Did the clerk bring the package? That was the last step.
He brought a large box from the shelf in the back storage area.
Was the box sturdy? I was curious about the inside.
Yes, the book was not damaged.
Did you sign?
Yes, I signed carefully with a digital pen.
Was there a fee? This is the most important question.
I asked: Bir şey ödüyor muyum?
What was the answer?
The sender had paid in advance. There was nothing to pay.
Great! What did you do next? Did you go straight home?
I took the box and walked home.
Did you not open it in the street? Patience is really important.
I wanted to, but I waited until I got home.
You were patient. I am surprised!
Now it is your story, Elif.
I also went to the Kadikoy branch last month.
What did you order? What color was it?
I bought a handmade mug from Izmir.
Were you afraid the mug would break? It was difficult to carry.
Yes, I was a little worried.
Why did the package not arrive at home? Was there a problem with the address?
The door number was missing from the box.
So the package stayed at the branch. Now I understand.
I walked to Kadikoy in the afternoon.
What was the clerk doing inside?
He was arranging packages and boxes.
What did you say when you entered? Did the clerk hear you?
I said: Kargomu almak istiyorum.
Did they ask for the tracking code?
Yes. I said: Takip numaram burada.
What happened next? Did the story speed up here?
He typed in the code and found the package.
Did he ask whose name it was? The answer was easy.
Yes, I said: Kargo benim adıma.
Did you show your ID too? So you were prepared.
Of course, I said: Kimliğim burada, and handed it over.
Did they take the package from the shelf?
They took the white bubble-wrapped package from the shelf.
Was the mug safe? There was something nice inside.
Yes, there was no damage to the box.
Was it time to sign?
I took the pen and said: Nereye imza atıyorum?
Did you sign the receipt?
Yes, I signed the small paper receipt.
Did you ask about the fee? I would ask that too.
Yes, I said: Bir şey ödüyor muyum?
What was the answer?
The store had paid in advance. There was no fee.
Then did you take the mug home?
I took the package and opened it happily at home.
Was the mug broken? Please give me good news.
No, the mug was fine!
Both stories ended well.
Now let us examine the phrases closely.
Let us start with our first phrase, Elif.
Our first phrase: Kargomu almak istiyorum. I want to pick up my package.
What does this sentence mean? I am very curious.
In English, it means: I want to pick up my package.
In other words, we tell the clerk that we want to pick up the package.
Kargom means my package. In other words, the package belongs to me.
Almak istiyorum expresses a wish.
You can say this easily when you enter the branch.
Example: Hello, I want to pick up my package.
It is a polite and clear sentence. You can use it comfortably.
Now let us move to our second phrase.
Our second phrase: Takip numaram burada. Here is my tracking number.
In English, it means: Here is my tracking number.
The tracking number usually arrives on the phone in a message.
The clerk finds the package on the shelf with this code.
Say this while showing your phone to the clerk. Speak clearly.
Example: Here is my tracking number on my phone.
It is a very practical sentence.
Now let us look at our third phrase.
Our third phrase: Kargo benim adıma. The package is in my name.
In English, it means: The package is in my name.
The clerk may ask who is picking up the package.
You say your own name. Speaking this way is easy.
Kargo benim adıma means the package is registered to me.
Example: This package arrived in my name.
This phrase prevents us from taking the wrong package.
Shall we move to the fourth phrase now?
Our fourth phrase: Kimliğim burada. Here is my ID.
In English, it means: Here is my ID.
An ID is a person's official identification card. Keep it with you.
We show the card for security.
Say this while handing the card to the clerk.
Example: Here is my ID, please take a look.
Shall we look at our fifth phrase now?
Our fifth phrase: Nereye imza atıyorum? Where do I sign?
In English, it means: Where do I sign?
A signature means writing our name on a document. It is quick.
We can sign on paper or on a small screen.
If we do not know where to sign, we ask this question.
Example: I received the package. Where do I sign?
The clerk shows the place.
Now let us move to our sixth phrase!
Our sixth phrase: Bir şey ödüyor muyum? Do I pay anything?
In English, it means: Do I pay anything?
We use this question for the shipping fee. Then we wait for the answer.
Sometimes the sender pays the fee in advance.
Still, it is good to ask and make sure.
You can ask this sentence at the branch.
Example: Do I pay anything for delivery?
We have seen and used all six phrases.
Now let us practice them with real situations. It is your turn.
Are you ready for a short quiz?
I am ready. I am waiting for the questions. Let us begin.

I am excitedly waiting for the second situation!

Showing my phone, I say: Takip numaram burada.
Excellent! The clerk finds the package on the shelf right away.
What is the third situation, Elif?

In a confident voice, I say: Kargo benim adıma.
Congratulations, Emre! Exactly right.
Shall we move to the fourth question?
Situation four! The clerk asked you for an official ID document. What do you say?
Taking out my ID card, I say: Kimliğim burada.
Very nice! An ID card is required for security.
I am ready for the fifth situation, Elif!
Situation five! The box arrived at the counter and you took a pen. What do you ask?
Looking at the form, I ask: Nereye imza atıyorum?
A great question! The clerk shows the place immediately.
What is the last situation, Elif?
Situation six! You want to learn if there is an extra fee. What do you ask?
Before opening my wallet, I ask: Bir şey ödüyor muyum?
Great! You answered all the questions correctly, Emre.

Now let us quickly review the phrases we learned.
Let us move to the final section!
