if you buy something for 6 lira and you have 20 lira then you give him 21 lira so he can give you back 15 lira (a 10 lira and a 5 lira no change). that's a common rule. if you dont have 1 lira to increase your 20 to 21 then you are in trouble.
My turkish teacher also had encountered something opposite in europe which country im not so sure for bus tickets the guy was collecting money said 6 euros and he gave like 21 euros the man stared at him weird gave back one euro and 14 euros in change.
I don't know why, but this is very uncommon in US too. I remember I gave 10.25 dollars for something worth 5.25 dollars, expecting to get 5 dollar bill back. The cashier didn't understand what I was trying, telling me 10 dollars is more than 5.25, why are you giving me that quarter. They just can't do the math or aren't used to this.
Su gibi git, su gibi gel : Remember how water travel in a continuous path through earth and it's atmosphere! Comes as rain , the river then evaporates turning in to Gas or as snow flakes. Travels all around the earth and comes back safe ! So Turkish people say it when a loved one is about to go somewhere. And they want him to come back safely in one piece like water does at the end of it's cycle ;)
@@owindustry this sayin "su gibi git su gibi gel" was not popular when I was living in Turkey in year 2000s. I think it became popular after this Turkish series called Diriliş Ertuğrul. It's a 13th century historical series and people there living in the natura and they know what water means
Just don't try the 50, 100 and 200 liras in public transportation. The drivers get really mad about that. I'm talking about "dolmuş". Just. Don't. Even. Try.
Every fucking time I go to turkey i walk around like a loan shark. Everywhere one day should have credit card readers. Fuck dolmus. I was raised there I know trust me but still fuck 'em.
Turks of Azerbaijan do that too, only without saying the "su gibi..." phrase. Water is considered to be something that absorbs bad info or vibes. So, by throwing some water on your path they mean clearing it of anything bad.

Before shopping or entering to dolmus, you may say: “Sorry, I don’t have a small change, is that okay?”, very kindly and with a big smile. They usually become more helpful. They even go to another shop, or ask to another dolmus driver to change the money.
Su gibi git, su gibi gel and splashing water have a really deep and cultural background. We were a nation that had a lot of wars in the time and parents who give their sons to the military or send them to wars splashing water after them. Because water is a liquid give life to living organism and it's one of origin of the life. Also water is fluid thing and it always find its own way. Whatever blocks it or slowing it, it still can find a way and space to pass it. And people wanted their kids come back as water finding its own way. The people had no idea however and whenever their kids will be back. Also you can replicate samples by adhering to this rule of liquidity of water 😊

Hi Chelsea, nice video! That story about hard to get change sounds a bit suspicious. I mean if that happens early in the morning that's understandable but otherwise, you might have to think about the possibility of getting ripped off. Minibusses or little stores always get upset when they see 100 bills or something but gratis or big supermarkets. Wtf!
At the school canteen, I bought a Water and gave the worker 50 Lira(at Turkey, a water is 1-2 lira.), he was like: "😐.. Don't you have 5 lira or something like that?" I said "no." He rejected my money and I couldn't buy the damn water.
We do have the ttradition of pouring a little bit of water behind you when you go away for a long time. It's a symbol for clearing up your way so that you can come back safely. But we don't usually pour a bucket of water from the window on people's cars, it was obviuosly the grandmother's clumsiness.
gratis watson bim a101 gibi marketlere bankadan para gelmez parayı esnaftan isterler. her akşam günlük hasılatı parayı bankamatiğe yatırırlar. ellerinde az bir miktar kalır. saçma sapan bir sistem. dolaysıyla inanırım 20 tl yi bozamadığına. herkes 50 tl 100 tl verirse kasada para mı kalır.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I wonder if you already noticed any of those: The gesture in "Bana bak" is a bit different than you did, you'd better show your index finger when you do that. Elderly Turkish people tend to speak louder when it comes to telling something. It's just because they think that you'll understand Turkish better when they shout at you (I know it is very ridiculous, sorry about that).
A Turk living in another country here; 1) Cab drivers are arseholes about change in Turkey. I don't know how many times a cabbie yammered about not having change, but had to produce about a thousand liras in twenties and fifties when I said I don't have anything other than a 100 bill and it's the middle of nowhere. And shopkeepers are annoying, they expect you to go get changes and then buy whatever you want to purchase, just because they can't get their cash in check. 2) All the mimics and gestures are different in Turkey and it's kinda funny. And that ''Gel'' jesture is not very different than what we use for ''Git'', which is a bit like the mirror version, you wave your arm with a sudden, shoving motion to say go instead of making that sweeping towards yourself. Which is really confusing. The head shake to say ''no'' is not present in Turkey, either. Turks do a backwards nod with their eyebrows raised to say ''no'' which is kinda unique as far as I know. That Italian knock off gesture with your fingertips joined is just to give an ''intensified'' meaning to whatever you mean. So it can be positive or negative. 3) That grandmother is a bit weird, because as you said, you spash the water ''after'' someone, not directly on them. That tradition is pre-islamic. One of the remnants of the shamanism belief system based on nature spirits, deep in Turkish society. Turks used to believe that even mentioning things could make them true. Or at least more possible before Islam. They still kinda do, when you think about it. Most traditional based people would say suggesting things will make them true if you talk about cynical things. So when you throw the water, it kinda means they go without any mishaps. Because water moves on its destination and always gets to the end of the road, no matter the obstacle. Another incarnation of it for you to grasp: As you probably know by now, ''Kurt'' means ''Wolf'' in Turkish. It also means ''Worm''. Weird, right? The reason for this is the same with the ''Go like water...'' philosophy. Wolves were one of the greatest threats of the nomadic societies. So in order to avoid mentioning their names, and thus calling them out, they used the word for the weakest thing they can get, which is a worm. The proper Turkic word for wolf is actually ''Börü'', which is not even used these days.
Hi. I am an old Turkish guy. I met and worked with many Americans working in Turkey, most of them diplomats, who spoke Turkish. I never met any American whose pronunciation of Turkish words was as correct and flawless as yours. Congragulations.
My dear I have lived in US for forty two years, and even here they do not appreciate large bills for small purchase. If you give them $100:00 bills or even $20.00 bills...
It’s really fun living in a totally different culture. My mom usually does “su gibi git su gibi gel” but that little granny made it a bucket challange! 😂
Biz Türkler ilginç bir milletiz aslında gelenek göreneklerimiz sayamayacağımız kadar fazla yani bir yaşlının davranışıyla diğer yaşlının davranışı çok farklı oluyor saygılar.
I've used the "come" hand gesture here before (US). Sometimes with the hand up, hands sideways, and hands down. Usually grannies I've seen do the downward hand gesture for "come here".
My understanding (half Irish half Turk) from the hand gestures with all the fingers together means the person is imagining that the topic in conversation is in their fingertips. For example if they are saying the food is nice they are imagining the food is in their hand.
I love to watch your videos. You're so natural and you're telling the stories so nicely and innocently it makes me crack up so hard. Crazy bat granny dumping a bucket of water on the car from a high rise. A day of life in Turkey. LOL.
Ive been living in Turkey for 3years now and I still cant speak any Turkish (i can however understand some people) tell me you secret to learning lol must be the granny right??
You live in Turkey and still don't care to learn Turkish? But when people go to your country and live there for years & don't learn your language than you will complain and be racist towards them.
Wauw your video is pretty interesting. So I live in Mexico for some time now and this is so similar here. 1) They don't seem to have change either here for big bills, something to do with them don't wanting to be robbed. 2) They have a weird gesture for "Thank you", which actually seems rude to me when I came her first time. Haha and I laughed about the water bucket. Great video!

It toke some times but I got use to its now. Everything is going well I love it. Good luck to you! Turkish people are nice they will look after you specialy with food and plenty of çay😊
When you said "Bana bak" I laughed that so much :D :D
I love your analysis of these gestures
I love Turkey, in 2010 I visited Istanbul and Antalya. I am from Bolivia, now living in a third country. I have some savings and I would like to invest in something, small business, I can also teach Spanish. I would like to move in early 2021, I think Istanbul would be great. I met some turkish while living in Barcelona. Please I will appreciate any advice.
Adam Garcia look into consulting companies maybe?
Ya bizi çok mükemmel incelemiş inanamıyorum. Dışarıdan bir gözün türk kültüründen hiç haberi olmayarak türkleri inceleyip deneyimlerini aktarmasının bu kadar eğlenceli olabileceğini düşünemezdim. 😂
Drinking challenge: Take a shot everytime Chelsea says "When I first came to Turkey"
Su akıcı ferahlatıcı ve hayatı devamlılığı temsil eder, insanlar sevdiklerinin belalardan uzak ve devamlı bir hayatla tekrar dönmesi umuduyla su dökerler gidenlerin ardından, bu gelenekseldir. 👍😁
Hi Chelsea, nice video! That story about hard to get change sounds a bit suspicious. I mean if that happens early in the morning that's understandable but otherwise, you might have to think about the possibility of getting ripped off. Minibusses or little stores always get upset when they see 100 bills or something but gratis or big supermarkets. Wtf!
Yes you're right usually it's early and that's why they don't want to give change. But it also happens during daytime too, maybe I just have bad luck!
At the school canteen, I bought a Water and gave the worker 50 Lira(at Turkey, a water is 1-2 lira.), he was like: "😐.. Don't you have 5 lira or something like that?" I said "no." He rejected my money and I couldn't buy the damn water.
i laughed so hard for "come" motion 😂😂😂😂
We do have the ttradition of pouring a little bit of water behind you when you go away for a long time. It's a symbol for clearing up your way so that you can come back safely. But we don't usually pour a bucket of water from the window on people's cars, it was obviuosly the grandmother's clumsiness.
Abartma sende 20 lirayı 50 lirayı kimse bozamam demez
gratis watson bim a101 gibi marketlere bankadan para gelmez parayı esnaftan isterler. her akşam günlük hasılatı parayı bankamatiğe yatırırlar. ellerinde az bir miktar kalır. saçma sapan bir sistem. dolaysıyla inanırım 20 tl yi bozamadığına. herkes 50 tl 100 tl verirse kasada para mı kalır.
thank you i am from brazil and i have learned a lot of turkish curture from you.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I wonder if you already noticed any of those:
The gesture in "Bana bak" is a bit different than you did, you'd better show your index finger when you do that.
Elderly Turkish people tend to speak louder when it comes to telling something. It's just because they think that you'll understand Turkish better when they shout at you (I know it is very ridiculous, sorry about that).
YOU RE VERY BRAVE WOMAN 😍 you came to here and lived with persons who doesn't know. It's really braveful things
5:16 perfectly pronounced!
I love youuu!!! Your Turkish sounds so sweet 😩🇹🇷🧿❤️‼️
A Turk living in another country here;
1) Cab drivers are arseholes about change in Turkey. I don't know how many times a cabbie yammered about not having change, but had to produce about a thousand liras in twenties and fifties when I said I don't have anything other than a 100 bill and it's the middle of nowhere. And shopkeepers are annoying, they expect you to go get changes and then buy whatever you want to purchase, just because they can't get their cash in check.
2) All the mimics and gestures are different in Turkey and it's kinda funny. And that ''Gel'' jesture is not very different than what we use for ''Git'', which is a bit like the mirror version, you wave your arm with a sudden, shoving motion to say go instead of making that sweeping towards yourself. Which is really confusing. The head shake to say ''no'' is not present in Turkey, either. Turks do a backwards nod with their eyebrows raised to say ''no'' which is kinda unique as far as I know.
That Italian knock off gesture with your fingertips joined is just to give an ''intensified'' meaning to whatever you mean. So it can be positive or negative.
3) That grandmother is a bit weird, because as you said, you spash the water ''after'' someone, not directly on them. That tradition is pre-islamic. One of the remnants of the shamanism belief system based on nature spirits, deep in Turkish society. Turks used to believe that even mentioning things could make them true. Or at least more possible before Islam. They still kinda do, when you think about it. Most traditional based people would say suggesting things will make them true if you talk about cynical things.
So when you throw the water, it kinda means they go without any mishaps. Because water moves on its destination and always gets to the end of the road, no matter the obstacle.
Another incarnation of it for you to grasp: As you probably know by now, ''Kurt'' means ''Wolf'' in Turkish. It also means ''Worm''. Weird, right? The reason for this is the same with the ''Go like water...'' philosophy. Wolves were one of the greatest threats of the nomadic societies. So in order to avoid mentioning their names, and thus calling them out, they used the word for the weakest thing they can get, which is a worm. The proper Turkic word for wolf is actually ''Börü'', which is not even used these days.
Börü kelimesinin kurt demek olduğunu da böylece öğrenmiş oldum. Eyw.
Hi. I am an old Turkish guy. I met and worked with many Americans working in Turkey, most of them diplomats, who spoke Turkish. I never met any American whose pronunciation of Turkish words was as correct and flawless as yours. Congragulations.
LOL enjoyed.
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))) Harikasın sen ya, iyiki Türkiye'ye taşınmışsın ve bizden birisi olmuşsun. Çok eğlendim bu videoda .
I never experienced the paying issue that they don't have change
You really have prety good observations about our culture..
5:16 aşık oldum
tabi yani 😂😂😂😂😂
Adamın Biri neden?
@@nativespeaker1674 çok sempatik gelmiyor mu ya yabancıların türkçe konuşması çok tatlı
My dear I have lived in US for forty two years, and even here they do not appreciate large bills for small purchase.
If you give them $100:00 bills or even $20.00 bills...
It’s really fun living in a totally different culture. My mom usually does “su gibi git su gibi gel” but that little granny made it a bucket challange! 😂
When I went to turkey I had a couple problem like yours too so you are not alone.
Bende türkçe biliyorum ama "Gel" demesine güldüm öyle birşeyi bilmiyordum yeni öğrendim ilginç
Biz Türkler ilginç bir milletiz aslında gelenek göreneklerimiz sayamayacağımız kadar fazla yani bir yaşlının davranışıyla diğer yaşlının davranışı çok farklı oluyor saygılar.
👍🏻👍🏻I hv watched so many Turkish shows with English subtitles and I loved them all.. Also I learnt alot of Turkish and about their culture.. 😍
Bankadan çekerken 100 -200 gibi para çekeceğinize 90 tl çekin bozuk para sıkıntınız fazla olmaz.
Good job on making those videos
As a canadian turk , you taught me some some things
I live in the US and I know all of those gesture LMAO I guess it just a cultural thing. I live in midwest us tho.
Oo Moa 💜where are you from? i am army from turkey 🇹🇷
I've used the "come" hand gesture here before (US). Sometimes with the hand up, hands sideways, and hands down. Usually grannies I've seen do the downward hand gesture for "come here".
Ahahaha who dumps water from 10 floors up. That's not normal 😅
harika bir video olmuş, kendimizi keşfediyok
"Bana bak.." DLSŞGPDÖFLDŞ yerim lan çok tatlı❤️
wkqnkwkwnwn gerçekten çok tatlı lannn
Your Turkish accent is very good
Ya bacım Amerika’da herkes birbirine küfür ediyor😆😆sen bize çok takılma
My understanding (half Irish half Turk) from the hand gestures with all the fingers together means the person is imagining that the topic in conversation is in their fingertips. For example if they are saying the food is nice they are imagining the food is in their hand.
"brake ur large bills" isn't this sentence made with a turkish mindset? lol
Break (not brake)
break=kirmak
brake=firenlemek
I love to watch your videos. You're so natural and you're telling the stories so nicely and innocently it makes me crack up so hard. Crazy bat granny dumping a bucket of water on the car from a high rise. A day of life in Turkey. LOL.
Ive been living in Turkey for 3years now and I still cant speak any Turkish (i can however understand some people) tell me you secret to learning lol must be the granny right??
You live in Turkey and still don't care to learn Turkish? But when people go to your country and live there for years & don't learn your language than you will complain and be racist towards them.
I am Turkish and to me your pronunciation is very good, keep going
İts mean (gel gel gel and Hand) ; come and Kiss My hand
Wauw your video is pretty interesting. So I live in Mexico for some time now and this is so similar here.
1) They don't seem to have change either here for big bills, something to do with them don't wanting to be robbed.
2) They have a weird gesture for "Thank you", which actually seems rude to me when I came her first time.
Haha and I laughed about the water bucket. Great video!
