IT'S GOOD TO SPEAK TURKISH

One of the best ways to reward the inevitable hospitality of your hosts is to speak a few words of Turkish to them. They are very proud of their nationality and they will see your attempts to speak their language as a compliment and a sign of respect.

If you can't make yourself understood, Turks are very good at sign language!

BODY LANGUAGE 'YEs' (evet) is shown by moving the head forward and down, sometimes with a slight tilt to one side.

'No' (hayir) is shown by a single gesture of moving the head up and back, lifting the eyebrows at the same time.

Quite often one will make the sound 'tsk' at the same time. By contrast, moving the head from side to side doesn't mean 'no', it means 'I don't understand'.

So if a waiter asks you if you would like something and you shake your head, he will probably repeat himself or try another language.

If someone is trying to express 'Come on, follow me' it would not occur to him to waggle an upright hand, (unless perhaps he was being vaguely obscene!) he would wave his hand downward and towards himself is a scooping motion.

DON'T BE RUDE!

Turkish current-day etiquette stems from the times of the Ottoman Empire which was highly organised and very formal. Every encounter among people became a mini-ceremony full of the flowery 'romance of the East'. Although things have changed somewhat since that time, you will still notice signs of those courtly days. Should you learn Turkish you would learn many polite phrases which are repeated on cue to many daily situations,

for example: Afiyet olsun - enjoy your meal (literally 'may it contribute to your health')

Hosgeldiniz - Welcome Hosbulduk - answer to welcome (literally ' we have found ourselves welcome')

Use these often and Turks will love it!

SOME EVERYDAY EUROPEAN MANNERISM THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED RUDE AND OFFENSIVE HERE ARE:

- Never point your finger directly to a person.

- Never show the sole of your feet or shoes towards anyone.

- Don't blow your nose in public, especially in a restaurant.

- Don't use a toothpick openly, instead cover your mouth while doing this.

- Don't hug and kiss a person of the opposite sex in public.

- When visiting someone's house, remove your shoes at the door.

You may be told to keep them on, but this is just politeness.

Since 1928, Turkish has been written in a slightly modified Latin alphabet which is very nearly phonetic.

The Turkish alphabet has 8 vowels (A E I Ý O Ö U Ü ) and 21 consonants. The letters Q,W and X do not exist in Turkish. Most letters are pronounced pretty much as you would expect, but some are not. Once the phonetic value of all letters is known, then it is rather easy to pronounce any word one sees or to spell any word one hears.The following letters require explanation:

Aa = "a" as in "card" or "dark", never as "a" in"cat" or "back" ( kan = blood )

Cc = "J" as in "judge" ( can= life, soul, pronounced like "John" )

Çç = "ch" as in "church"( çay= tea, pronounced "chay", rhymes with "buy" )

Ee = "e" as in "bed" ( ekmek =bread )

Gg = "g" as in "get" ( gelin =bride )

g ( yumuþak ge [soft g] Never appears as the first letter in a word; essentially silent; sometimes lengthens preceding vowel; sometimes pronounced like "y" in "yet"
(dag =mountain, pronounced daa , rhymes with the "baa" of "baa baa black sheep";
diger =other, pronounced diyer )

lı( undotted "i" ) "u" as in "radium" or "i" as in "cousin" (ışık =ligth, ırmak = river )

İi( dotted "i" ) ="i" as in "sit" ( bir = one, pronounced like "beer" )

Jj = "j" as in "azure" (garaj = garage, pronounced as in French & English )

Oo = "o" as in "fold"(okul =school )

Öö German "ö" as in "König" or French "eu" as in "peur"( göl = lake, rhymes with furl)

Ss="s" as in "sing", never pronounced like a "z" as the "s" in "his"(ses = voice)

Şş="sh"as in "ship" (şey = thing, pronounced "shey" , rhymes with "hay")

Uu "oo" as in "boot" (buz = ice, pronounced like "booze")

Üü German "ü" as in "für" or French "u" as in "tu" (gül = rose)

Zz="z" as in "zoo" (beyaz = white)

Turkish belongs to the Turkic branch of the Altaic language family.The earliest Turkic inscriptions date from the 7th century C.E. and Islamic texts written in Turkic appear in the 11th century. Turkish, the language of modern Turkey, is spoken by about 60 million people. Other important Turkic languages are Azeri (15 million speakers) and Uzbek (14 million speakers). Turkish formerly used the same alphabet as Arabic, but has been written in the Latin alphabet since 1928 as mentioned above; since 1940, Azeri and Uzbek have been written in Cyrillic but efforts are now under way to replace it with Latin.

As an Altaic language, Turkish has virtually nothing in common with English or other Indo-European languages except for some loan words, usually from French or English.

Turkish grammar is complex, but also quite regular. Its two most characteristic features are : (1) vowel harmony (vowels within a word follow certain harmonic patterns) and (2) agglutination (addition suffixes to words.) Through this process, astoundingly long word phrases can be encountered. For example, the following means, "Maybe you are one of those whom we were not able to Turkify."

Siz Bizim Türkçeleştiremediklerimizdensiniz yoksa Türkçeleştidiklerimizdensiniz.

Another interesting feature is that there is no gender in Turkish.The same word , "o", for example, means "he", "she" and "it".

Turks generally call each other by their given names.For example, a man whose name is Ahmet Kuran would be called Ahmet bey( bey = Mr.), and his wife whose name is Ayşe Kuran would be called Ayşe hanım ( hanım =Ms.). Good friends drop the "bey" and "hanım". But a letter would be addressed to Bay ve Bayan Ahmet Kuran (Mr. and Mrs...).
