    I used to think that Turkey was a Middle Eastern country 🙃 As far as I can understand, Turks are more of a mixture of Balkans, Europeans, Caucasians and Asians, while Kurds are the Middle Easterners of the country. Turkish people are an extremely warm-blooded and helpful nation. If you trip and fall while walking on the street, many people will run to help you. Unlike us, the "we" culture, not the "me" culture, is extremely strong. I love Turkey and Turks. My only dream is to move to Turkey when I retire.

      Taking cats and dogs and killing them.
      Pets are not safe and she's bringing back her cats.

      "Where do the children play" as Cat Stevens said, is good criterion for cultural developement in my opinion

  • @MuhammedAliAçıkgöz-r5w
    @MuhammedAliAçıkgöz-r5w 5 месяцев назад +47

    1) If you look carefully at the architecture from the Ottoman period, you can see bird nests carved into stone on the walls and cavities made in the ground for water to accumulate when it rains and for animals to drink water from there.
    2) Yes, Türkiye is the country that consumes the most cigarettes in the world. There is also a saying about this in Italy: 'fumare come un turco' (to smoke like a Turk).
    3) Our love for tea dates back hundreds of years to the days when we were neighbors with China. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you do some research on Turk history (Hiung-nu, Göktürks, Karakhanids and Seljuks) and other Turkish-speaking countries (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Yakuts, Uighurs and other minority groups.)
    4) the name of the toilet is alaturka. (it is not a Turkish word)
    5) Our country has not had an official religion since 1923, approximately 85 percent of the population is Muslim, but most of the believers are not sensitive about religion (alcohol, prayer, tobacco, veiling, etc.) This is because we converted to Islam later and come from a very different culture (nomadic-warrior)
    but I can understand why people think that headscarves are compulsory in Türkiye, but it's really a ridiculous idea. Just like this, I don't even mention those who think we ride camels (I saw it once in my life in the eastern region of Turkey) and speak Arabic. Our language is Turkish, which is one of the oldest languages ​​in its current version. When we read a monument (Orkhon inscriptions) engraved on stone in Mongolia 1500 years ago, we can easily understand it 30 percent of the time. We can understand books from 1000 years ago by 60 percent, and we can understand poems from 500 years ago by 80 percent. I think we are very lucky in this regard.
    6) Since culture and history gush out from every corner of our country, this is very normal for us and we feel the need to introduce only the most magnificent ones. While walking on a street in Ankara, you may suddenly come across the ruins of a Roman bath.
    7) The Turkish phenotype is not just about black hair and black eyes. If you look at the Turks in Central Asia, you will understand them more easily because they have not mixed with other peoples as much as we do. For example, my grandmother is Turkmen (the name given to nomadic Turks during the Ottoman period) and she has blonde hair, blue eyes, high cheekbones and almond eyes, and like her most of turkish Yörük's (Turks who still living like a nomad like my grandmothers family elders) are brown and blond hair. Speaking specifically about Turkey, as you mentioned, we are very different from everyone else, and the reason is obvious, our geography is in the heart of the world, and it is a region that hosted a Turkish empire (Ottoman Empire) that ruled over 2 continents.
    8) What can I say? The greatest leader of the 20th century, an intellectual who wrote many books and spoke many languages, a very successful soldier, a marshal, a father, the father of the Turks.
    9) Actually, we have one desert, the Karapınar desert in Konya. I don't know how big it is but I guess not much.
    10) And as a Turk and someone who has traveled many places, I say again that I have only seen a camel once in my life, in the eastern region. and camels are used only in some fairs. Other than that, we have NO camels!! THANK YOU :)

Btw soğuc baklava is also amazing, in my opinion it’s the best dessert in the world. I believe it’s a Turkish invention. I love everything Turkish. Stunning country, amazing culture, food, and traditions, wonderful people.

    As a Turkish we have at least 2 cats in our apartment, the third cat is coming time to time 😂 the orange one followed the döner delivery guy and came inside of my house yesterday. My boyfriend had a hard time to protect our döners and took the cat out. The cat couldn’t steal our food. Our cats are very well fed and takan care of by neighbours. There are cat food everywhere, they are full but they choose to eat kebaps like us 😂 We don’t know who took them in our building but I want them to sleep inside in winter. The white cat is very friendly and I scratch him a few times in a week 🥰

    Overall the country is beautiful and the people are very friendly. I’m looking forward to next few years working here.
    On the toilets I prefer the bidet toilet that allows you to stay clean; wish other countries used this.

      My family and I just got back to the States from Turkiye. My wife and kids were amazed by the stray pets. Not stray animals, mind you. They are "Community PETS". Dogs will literally walk right up to you wagging their tails and asking for nothing more than a quick rub on the head. Then they nudge you as if to say "thank you" and walk away wagging their tails again. Cats and Dogs are even friendly with one another, just as they would be if they lived in your home. They don't seem to know they are on the streets. They think every person is their owner. When I saw a "free" animal walking by one on a leash, in my mind, I imagined they felt sorry for the one on a leash.

      Hi, I'm not Bery, but I came back from İstanbul two weeks ago. There is a street market between the Grand Bazar and the Spice Bazar, where I've seen the locals also bying their clothes. Just start from Grand bazar and walk.
      There are also a lot of bazars in the individual districts that are much cheaper.

    I love Turkish cuisine but I have to confess that I didn't like the texture of the chicken breast dessert 😅. Another interesting thing for me is that they use a lot of wet wipes to clean their hands in the restaurants.

    •  4 месяца назад

      1) Huge level of fast food eaten with hand
      2) Majority of the small restaurants doesn't have restrooms
      That's why wet wipes are common

      There are three stages to understanding the dessert tavuk göğsü (chicken breast). When we were kids, we thought it was made from chicken because of its name. As we grew older and learned the difference between a dessert and chicken, we naturally assumed it couldn’t possibly contain chicken and that it was just a name. But the real shock comes later when you find out that it actually is made from chicken breast. How could it be? Is this delicious dessert really made from chicken? 🤯😅

    Do you know why in turkey people drink so much tea especially in summer in hot weathers? There is an adverb in turkey as follows; Tea keeps you from overheating. Tea called as çay in turkish and çay has two means; tea and small river. Actually the adverb tells about small river but turks misunderstand it as tea for centuries 😀

    Only thing I got shocked about is the customer service. There is no greeting or smiling unless you greet them first. I'm of Turkish descent but born and raised in Australia and there is a code of conduct whereby friendly customer service is standard. So to not be greeted with a smile is so foreign to me. Having said that this was not always the case but when it was, I just considered it plain rude.

    Smoking is a societal issue in Turkey. Most of these people start smoking in high school(despite it being illegal to sell to minors most stores do. Also some adults just hand out cigarettes to the young without second thought.) some teachers even started to say that smoking is increasing even in middle(grade 5-8) school. Teens start smoking to "fit in". I did not smoke in high school and actively denied most of my friends offering me cigarettes. It led to me being excluded from the group of smokers and thus most of my classmates. My classroom had 35 students. And I have been friends with 8 guys and spoke with 2 girls but we "non-smokers" were intentionally excluded by the smokers group self-nicknamed "Those who burn"(yanıcılar) group consisting of 1 girl and 25 guys.
    I graduated high school 4 years ago but I am still having trouble socializing since smokers are majority. They do not invite me to cafes I either say "pls don't smoke" or even if I say "ok you can smoke" they think I am not "manly" since I cough and get watery eyes when the wind changes direction and blasts me with smoke.

    • @BeryIstanbulTips
      @BeryIstanbulTips  7 месяцев назад +1

      Merhaba!
      Your input as a young Turk about the smoking issue in Türkiye is so valuable and eye-opening! I never thought it could even reach that degree of excluding non-smokers from a group and from hanging out too, and I see even more pressure to fit in that many start smoking even if they didn’t really desire it at first. I hope this smoking situation specially among very young generations is more regulated and taken care of, it seems to be getting out of control and I’m also shocked when I see maybe 14yo or younger already smoking, I live near a high school and when I’m out while they are leaving their school premises I see most of them walking with a cigarette in their hands 🥺
      And never get discouraged if someone thinks that you’re not ‘manly’ enough just because you don’t smoke or you feel bad when getting the second-hand smoke, those things really happen and also second-hand smoke triggers many other health issues like asthma and many (this happened to me 3 years ago and now I’m dealing with it still), I’m very sensitive towards second hand smoke and it immediately triggers cough attacks, and a wizzing noise when breathing, sometimes I even have to use my inhalator, my husband who’s a Turk is a non-smoker also and has never smoked in his life despite all his family and relatives being hardcore smokers. We are a minority in a country where smoking is already a big part of their culture and society, but don’t get discouraged, be proud of it, at some point you’ll find more friends who have your same lifestyle. 🫶❤️

      They were probably uncomfortable about making you uncomfortable, at least that's how i feel around non-smokers. When i know they dont like the smell or the smoke or in general they don't like anything to do with it, i refrain from going out much. Not to exclude but don't want to make people uncomfortable also be comfortable myself. And smoking doesn't make anyone manly dude, I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

      Well, if you can avoid the smoke you'll outlive them all. Most will have a horrible death from lung cancer & various other cancers. Also it's a sure way for a woman to lower the IQ of her unborn baby. It's a huge burden to the health care system, that's why it's been basically banned in most countries that have 'free health care" such as Canada, the Nordic countries etc. People can smoke but they can only do so outside and away from where other people are & in their homes.

    Heres something off topic that you may find interesting. :)
    The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'......
    .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :)
    In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully.
    Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages,
    but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :)
    Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's.
    The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to',
    just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like
    Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc.
    Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like
    Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on.
    Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
    The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old.
    Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye'
    we got various spellings like;
    Turq-uía (in Spanish),
    Turch-ia (in Italian),
    Turq-uie (in French)
    Turk-ei (in German)
    Turk-ey (in English)
    Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey....
    ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'...
    ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
    In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German,
    but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years.
    Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas.
    Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : )
    So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : )
    Best wishes. ;)
