first of all, kahverengi is "brown" so I'd use sütlü (i.e. with milk)

then, I don't suppose any waiter would use the singular (sen) form with you. I imagine he'd rather say:


sütlü kahve ister misiniz

That's what I thought except I found the word "kahverengi" in my dictionary as being "brown coffee" so assumed that is what Turks call coffee with milk

Yes - I am sure a waiter would use siz not sen......
But this was a conversation between myself and my partner when we first woke up - sorry, I should have made that clear!

So please do tell me what kahverengi means ???

Every morning one of the first things I do (before getting out of bed!) is to look at the dictioary on my PDA and try and learn at least one new Türkçe word......this morning I found kahverengi which is translates as being brown coffee......

Is "brown coffee" not coffee with milk ???

kahverengi is simply "brown" (literally it is ...of the colour of coffee)

For God sake BOD. I am sure I said
'my eyes are brown and of course they are very beautiful' maybe I didn't I am sure one of our betters will explain if I am wrong.

kahverengi bekliyorum is I'm waiting for a brown colour
Tamam ma?
