Let's find the words produced through blending and clipping.

Avrasya (avrupa + asya)
Avro (a loan word from English. It's the clipping of the word Europe.)
minibüs (mini + otobüs)
İbo (İbrahim)
Naber? (Ne + haber) an informal use in spoken Turkish

Can you find out such other words in TR?

and

"sunta" there is a prize waiting for the person who can figure it out. For not native speakers of Turkish

To use it easly when addressing your lover
