I have two favorite Turkish words. My first is zarf, it means envelope. I smile and try to use that word as often as I can. My second favorite word is tutku. Tutku means passion, which is what I try to live my life with. That...and Tutku is the most amazing cookie in turkey. It beats an oreo any day.

I also love the word "çünkü" - çünkü it sounds really cute when saying it and makes lips all pouty

I love it too I always pronounce it as 'çünki'. Sezen Aksu said it like that in one of her songs, and I really liked it so now I say it that way

"FAKAT" is the Turkish word to avoid, if there are delicate foreign ladies around !

I can not imagine why they start giggling at the sound of this word.

I like the word "üşenmek"; it explains some things so accurately...

FAKAT on Croatian means "truth" or "actually"

Yes. Once I heard from an American how he understood "fakat" as "f**k it" when he called a switchboard. The operator kept saying "evet fakat". He knew that "evet" means yes and he understood it as "yes f**k it".

And I read this story on a newspaper. Probably a fabrication but anyway here it is.

A Turkish couple visited a real estate agency to rent a house in America. When they saw the kitchen of an house the man said this to his wife:
"Fakat Muvaffak bu mutfak çok ufak".
meaaning "But Muvaffak this kitchen is too small".

The American was very surprised having heard four "f**k"s on a row in a short sentence.
