Chinese Table Manners
These are mostly concerned with the use of chopsticks. Otherwise generally Chinese table manners are rather more informal, what would be considered rude in other cultures such as talking with the mouth full may be acceptable but better not to do so.
Do not start making the first move until the elderly or guest of honor have done so, as a sign of respect. Also sometimes dishes are passed to the elderly first before the dinner starts
It is encouraged not to eat to fully fill your stomach if you are entertained as a guest in a meal.
Leave the best food in a dish to the elderly, children, or the guest of honor, even if they are your favorite food items.
Decide what to pick up before reaching with chopsticks. Do not hover around or poke looking for special ingredients.
Pick the food on the dish that is at the top and nearest to you in distance. Never rummage through the dish or pick from the far side for your favorite food.
After you have picked up a food item, do not put it back in the dish.
It is acceptable to transfer food to people who have a close relation with you (e.g. parents, grandparents, children or significant others) if you notice they are having difficulty picking up the food.
Traditionally, it is polite for the youngest members of the table to address each and everyone of the elderly members of the table before a meal starts and literally tell them to "eat rice", which means "go ahead and start the meal", to show respect.

Interesting to learn Chinese table manners. I think most of them are universal and your bf will probably know them. He´d probably even know about offering the elders to start and wait for them to begin first too. Well, I hope you can get someone to translate this for you. Unfortunately my Turkish is not very good. Best of luck.

Do some devout Chinese say prayers before they eat? Some of my German and American friends do? I guess Turks don´t.

Nobody can do this translation for me...
