Its fine if you only say Teşekkür ederim but it can be confusing since your just a beginner and dont know exactly how to show the facial expressions. because in the turkish language you have to show certain expressions in every sentence, mostly with hands
you know....
lol im just kidding , although most people do use the hands to show an expression in a sentence :D

Teşekkür ederim(thank you ).....Ama gelemicem.( but I cant come) is more appropriate to say I think.
That is helpful. I was worried that I might walk into a restaurant, have someone ask, "Bir _______ istiyor musunuz?" And if I simply answered "Teşekkür ederim." I might get served something even if I didn't want it. :-[
Would it be appropriate to say, "Hayır teşekkür ederim." or to say, "Teşekkür ederim, ama hayır."?
yep both are fine, the first one is easier to use.
How about "Hayır teşekkürlar."?
yes thats also an appropriate way to say it.
what are the words specific when addressing men, then women if you don't mind?
what do you mean ?
so when adressing a man, is it the same when addressing a woman, is it like in english, both are called 'you', while in arabic it's anta/antee, also in arabic, objects are either masculine or feminine, the moon is a dude, while car is female and so on..
Turkish pronouns do not recognize gender, Turkish doesn't even have the equivalent of he/she/it.
oh alright,,grace, ur learning Turkish:)?
I'm trying to.
I = ben
You (singular, informal) = sen
He/she/it = o
We = biz
You (plural, formal) = siz
They = onlar
Mutlu Paskalya olsun.
Oh wrong adress,we don't have any christian turk here :D jocking , I celebrate the Easter of all Christiandom. "Paskalya bayramınız kutlu olsun" veya "Mutlu Paskalyalar"
