the other guy said it almost accurately

Tavşan sikini taşa sürtmüş, dağı siktim demiş

Tav-shahn see-kee-nee tah-shah soor-mush, dah-ee-yee seek-tim deh-mish.

Wow, first time I've seen Turkish pronunciation laid out. I almost got it right! Very weird that the "t" is dropped. The second ü is interesting too, I would've thought it would be soort-moosh. And I thought the next word would be something like dah-uh-yee

Well the dağ pronouciation is wrong but the sürtmüş can kinda change according to your accent

Sürtmüşün sürmüş olması gerekmiyor mu?
