PracticeTurkish
An open-source Turkish practice bot: translate words between Turkish, Russian and English, get a word of the day, and see morphological breakdowns of the words you're learning.
Key features

- Daily "word of the day" push
- Morphological analysis (root + suffixes) of Turkish words
- Support for custom, self-built word dictionaries
PracticeTurkish
@PracticeTurkishBot is the Telegram front-end for PracticeTurkish, an open-source vocabulary tool built by developer Egor Fadeev (also distributed as a Python package on PyPI for people who'd rather run it themselves from the command line). Inside Telegram, the bot focuses on translating words between Turkish, Russian and English in either direction — useful since most commercial apps only offer Turkish-English pairs and skip Russian entirely.
Two features go beyond a plain dictionary lookup. A "word of the day" push keeps a small stream of new vocabulary coming without you having to ask for it, and a morphological analysis feature breaks a Turkish word down into its root and suffixes — genuinely helpful for a language where a single word can carry what would be a whole clause in English or Russian through agglutination. The underlying open-source project also supports building and practicing your own custom dictionaries, aimed at more advanced, self-directed learners rather than complete beginners.
Being an independent open-source project rather than a commercial product, the bot doesn't have marketing pages, pricing plans or a support team behind it — what's documented is what's on its GitHub repository and PyPI listing. There's no confirmed information about how actively it's updated day to day, so treat it as a solid, free niche tool for Turkish vocabulary and morphology specifically, not a general-purpose course.

Does it work for Russian speakers, or only English?
Both — Russian and English are supported alongside Turkish, which is unusual for a free Turkish vocabulary bot.
What is the morphological analysis actually useful for?
It shows the root and suffixes inside a Turkish word, which helps you recognize patterns instead of memorizing every inflected form separately.
