Quoting AlphaF:


I have never seen heterosexuel men walking around the streets, hand in hand, in Türkiye. Such an act would indicate definite existence of something other than bare manly friendship.



I have seen men walking arm to arm countless times in southeast Turkia. I have spend many years in this part of the country and I was shocked when I first saw men over their 40's walking together like this. Of course younger men were walking arm to arm as well.
In most parts of Turkia this means they are gay but obviously in this part they see it different.

Quoting admin:

There are also these offensive gestures that can be included here. One example:

- Place your thumb between your index finger and middle finger, then close your fist. If you show your fist like this to someone from Turkey, this is offensive It is almost the same as showing the middle finger.



Yes, I learned that one in high school. Though there was a bit more of a complex gesture involving the other hand.

Men walking arm in arm or holding hands is a common in most Arabic contries, hence a familiar sight, say in Saudi Arabia...definitely not typical Turkish behaviour

If it were only in Southeast Turkiye, could it be a Kurdish thing? Or just that that part of Turkiye is closer to Syria, Iraq and other Arabic countries?

Americans in upstate NY, Michigan, or Wisconsin are much more likely to enjoy (and have played) ice hockey than someone in Texas. Aside from the weather differences, it's mainly a cultural bleed-over from Canada. People from the upper peninsula of Michigan have a decidedly Canadian accent as well.

I don't see many men arm to arm around me, but rather I see young males, usually under 30, wrap their friends' shoulder with one arm (ehehe I don't know hot it can be described in english). It's common and noone would think bad. And I find it very sincere. I don't understand why men shouldn't have warm physical contact with each other.

I found this website that may be useful to saome people. It has different situations and how to respond in Turkey using etiquette. It also has some phrases and how to pronounce them.

Here it is http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/turkey-country-profile.html

Hope this works

Oooh, thanks for sharing Beany, that's a really good site, I've added it to my favourites.
