I have a question.... In Turkey do men use the words Honey, My Darling, etc. lightly or if they say Honey to you, is it a term of endearment? Do they mean anything by it? Or is it just something that they say to women? I guess included in that would be caným... He switches between caným and honey.
Thanks for any responses,
Brittany

Turkish men can all generally manage to grunt and growl. Having been recently civilized, only a limited number have picked up simple words like "kadin" (meaning woman) and "aÞ" (meaning food). Rest of the communication is either by Morse code or by smoke signals.

oh my...I´m so sorry. I didn´t mean to offend . This is not what I meant at all. Let me start over, if I may. I have a Turkish friend, he calls me honey and caným all the time. I know that in some cultures these words are used very freely (I hear people calling others -that they hardly know - "sweetie, honey and other words I look at as endearing) and all I wanted to know is should I see this as a term of endearment, or is he just being polite? Please don´t be offended, I think you either misunderstood what I was asking, or I didn´t word it very well.

I think Alpha was being a little sarcastic!! Yes friends call each other caným sometimes. Turkish men seem to be pretty free with their terms of endearment but normally caným is used between friends and between close friends. If you are wondering if he means anything more serious there are other words he will use that will not be ambiguous. Ask him??

Hey, take no notice - you did not offend our dear Alpha! I think canim is a common term used just like we use honey, sweetheart and that sort of thing... with our friends etc

Okay, if he was just being sarcastic, then this is actually pretty funny

Thank you for your response. I guess that would be a good idea to ask him

What if he calls you aşkim all the time? Does that mean anything? I tried google translate and I know it means "my love" but I just want to know if that´s just a casual term of endearment for turkish guys. I mean, you know, I don´t know anything about Turkish culture. So there.

aşkım is a strong word. It is only used between lovers.

My personal thought;
If he is not more feminen than a normal guy, he wants to be close to you, like some kind of flirt.
If he has feminen acts, it may be normal. But I don´t think that maskulen men use these words much to any girls.

Men obviously do not use these words to adress their beloved when you are around...Why dont you give them some peace and privacy !
