i give those type of words a wide birth, turkish is such a beautiful language , i dont wish to learn these words, i know enough foul words in english



I agree!! It won't impress anyone in Turkey if you show a knowledge of the "lower levels" of the language. Why spoil a good conversation with such words?

Oh, but the only person I have ever used them to was my ex-boyfriend (who happens to be one of the persons who taught them to me....)

every night? ....there is a name for those type of girls...kaltak! or orospu if you like Sorry but they are!



Orospu is in my dictionary, kaltak not. Is it - what I think - the less decent word for the same?



Evet

I got into an argument with some turk guy because he was calling my friend a orospu etc because she would NOT do anything with him and she didn't know what it meant so she was like :-S and he just laughed....that is until I said what I had to say to convince him that he wasn't the only one who could insult people in turkish....he was quite shocked as you can imagine .....lol

It wasn't the best way to handle things I must admit but to be honest he was lucky I never done anything else. I hate it when people do stuff like that to my friends or family it drives me nuts!

So other than that I haven't really used to against someone....apart from my Uncle Can....but only as a joke tabii

ok, but I bet you can't make tiramisu as well as the chef in my restaurant If you can, I'll give you a job here



Well, I'm convinced that my tiramisu is delicious , but I'm clever as well , so I realize that I shouldn't try to compete with an Italian chef..

Hm, I don't fully agree. Of course when starting to learn a language, it's much more interesting to learn useful stuff that will get you around.
But at an intermediate or advanced level I'd find it interesting to have an extensive vocabulary, wether it's the names of trees, onomatopoeia, or curse words..
