Answer 1

The answer of the first answerer is correct, but here's mine:

1. Merhaba = Mer-ha-báá

2. Güle güle (would literally translate as ''while laughing, laughing'')

Görüşürüz = We'll meet (again).

Hoşçakal(ın) = literally ''stay pleasant/good''

A lot of people also say ''Hadi bye bye''.

3. Siz Turkçe biliyormusunuz? Siz Turkçe konusuyormusunuz?

Seni Turkçe biliyormusun? Sen Turkçe konusuyormusun?

*Siz is the polite form, but it's also plural.

Sen would be non-polite.  

4. Ben biraz Turkçe biliyorum/konusuyorum.

*bilmek = to know, konuşmak = to speak

5. Benim adım ...

Benim ismim ...

*Isim and ad both mean name.

Benim means ''my'', and in other cases ''mine''.

The pronunciation is very hard to explain, since English doesn't know these letters.

Answer 2

1. Merhaba = Mer-ha-bah

2. If they leave you "Güle güle" = gu-le x2, if you leave them and in general "hoşçakalın" = hosh-cha-ka-lin

3. Siz türkçe mi konuşuyorsunuz? = Siz Turkche mi ko-nu-shu-yor-su-nuz?

4. Ben biraz Türkçe biliyorum - Ben bir-az Turkche bi-li-yor-um.

5. Benim adım - Benim a-dim....
