The author seems he couldn't translate the word "expatriate /expat" into Turkish, and produced the word " expatik".
The text says that Latin expatriates can accommodate Turkish culture easier than other expatriates. There are around 360 Latin daughers-in-law in Turkey.
Generally, the expatriates can cope with some accommadation problems easily as they are married to Turks whose majority have studied at university abroad, and they are familiar with the western culture. However the expatriates who are married to Turks whom they have met in the Turkish touristic resorts have some problems with their marriages because each side doesn't know about the other's culture, traditions and religion.- and they desperately ask for help with their translations on a well-known web site, www.turkishclass.com. (my contribution to the text.  )
I think some other members would like to translate other interesting points.

I'm convinced that other factors play a major role here. I have seen many typical european female tourists who meet up with someone random, are intrigued by good looks, charm and a tan and they go head over heels in the relationship and marry them. The men, of course, can ensure a better future in a foreign country. I agree that they often don't consider eachothers respective cultures and values, but I think in most of the cases rushed marriages (where they don't know eachother well) ruin any chance they may have had to work it out. As far as I'm aware of, only few latin tourists come to Turkey and I don't think they explore and seek out a romantic holiday as many europeans do. It seems to me that some europeans come to Turkey intentionally seeking out love, or should I say "love".

Merhaba Azade!
First of all,i dont understand what you meant by "typical european female tourists", what does it mean a typical female tourist for you??Im pretty sure we had many hot debated topics here on TC about female tourists meeting and marrying men from touristic resorts who only want to "ensure a better future in a foreign country", maybe you should have a look at them..
Regarding the latin people, let me tell you that as far as i know, there are a lot of romanians( both men and women) who decide go to Turkiye to spend holidays in a nice sunny place and visit interesting places...and bytheway, Spain,Italy and Romania are latin countries  And you are also european,so please lets dont judge people by the fact that they are european, asian or american I am european and also latin,so what does that mean or make me?? :-S Anyway,does anyone know for sure where can we find Love?If it is in Turkiye,im calling my travel agent and booking right now my
airplane ticket and hotel reservation for this year, maybe i will get lucky and meet love
And sorry if i went a bit off topic
Regards,
Maria

I mean the ones who often travel together with the simple purpose of finding men by lurking around restaurants all day long and at discos all night long in their skimpy clothes. I'm not sure how many actually do this, it's probably a small percenage afterall, it just seems that I see that type of women all the time while staying in tourist cities. My old neighbours happen to be that type of women. I don't now how many different young turkish men they brought to their apartment in the three weeks they were staying there. When they didn't bring random men in the middle of the night, they were singing out loud and gossiping about which men they had met, very drunk of course. What I didn't hear...
But anyway, that's not really the topic, I know so I won't go any further into it. It's also quite a tiring topic.
Of course the majority of female tourists come there for an ordinary holiday, I didn't mean to imply anything else
I thought the context of the article excluded south european countries as latin countries, even though they culturally are. Maybe I misunderstood it? I really do hate to stereotype people, but I have seen a fair share of love hungry women in tourist cities and they were all (north) european (again, not that all north european female tourists come there for that reason, but a small percentage do). Sure there are the random spanish tourist there, but it's not many (my guess is that they perfer different types of holidays as they may as well go to the beach in their home country).
Now, I'm not saying that you can't find love there - I know it's possible. But I strongly believe that you can't seek it intently or hunt it, because the chances are slim. "Don't look for love - love will look for you". Some touristic places reek of fake love. You may not notice it unless you look carefully or spend some time there, but I'll believe it until something else has been proved.

Merhaba, Azade and Maria!
I am also Romanian..U were not out of topic at all...u explained very well the Latin /European issue...
Yes, many Romanians go there in a vacation...cos the country is not far from Ro and it is beautiful..!
But the finantial condtions are generally better in the Latin countries, comparing to some parts of Tk, except the big cities and the resort ones..
so I really don't think the others Europeans need to go to Turkey to "emprove" their lives by marring Turkmen...lol
Latins may get along with Turkish because we have some traits in commun: both temperamental, both loving parties (in Romanian, the word "bairam" comes from Turkish, cos we have a big Turk community at Constanta, at the Black Sea..)
