Huh?! "kýz istemek" according to my limited Turkish means "wanting a girl" how about erkek istemek? And why the heck should this be a legal (?!) tradition in any country? Unless, of course, you speak about countries where, say, homosexualism is forbidden or punishable. Then kiz istemek is a legal requirement indeed
Haha
Now you are making me laugh (and preventing me going back to my work too )
´Kiz istemek´ should be translated as ´formally asking to the girl´s parent permission to get married´ actually..
But I agree, it sounds like ´asking for a girl like asking for a cup of sugar or salt from your neighbour´.
But we dont have ´erkek istemek´ as a tradition..
Do you want to start it by ´asking for an erkek who is handsom and a bit hairy and ...´?
