Turkish Lessons-2


Never Say "tesekkurler" in Turkey unless you want to starve!

Underlying meanings of words

this lens's photo
Dictionaries are good but every time you look up for a word, do they give what we need, not necessarily. It's not possible to find the cultural aspect or underlying meaning of the words and sentences this way. Here I disclose one, very important one. That would help you not to end up with no food when you are speaking in Turkish. 

Direct Translation is not always a great idea

What not to say!


One mistake we all do directly translating a sentence or a word. Being a bit more specific here, someone or a waiter asks you whether you want coffee,tea or food.
