Quoting Umut_Umut

If you say WC in english just a few person will understand it , if you prefer ve ce (not ve çe) many Turk will understand it. 

 

But if i were you i would prefer tuvalet or lavabo.   Tuvalet nerde ? Lavabo nerde? (If you wanna be polite (!!) you should prefer lavabo)

 

We Turks have lots of words for toilet. Nearly 12

 

 I find crossing my legs, jumping up and down with a pained expression on my face normally works{#lang_emotions_razz}

Quoting maryilyons

That was great!  But while I watching it I realized I´ve never taken a Spanish class, but after traveling in Spain for six weeks, I understood more Spanish in that song that I do after studying Turkish almost every night for six weeks!

 

Teþekküler!

 

 besides English I´ve learned six other languages by the age of 18.  I think is going to take me 10 years to learn turkish.  Just when I think i´ve got it, I just realize nope I do  not.  It is a little odd for me, so many things are implied which should make it simpler but, not for me. {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

{#lang_emotions_cry} So I kind of know how you feel.

 You could probably find 12 in English too if you thought about it.

never heard of head before well not in this context anyway{#lang_emotions_wink}

 

As for my previous "Dunny" i checked the spelling to be sure on the sites dictionary(dyslexic on board) and it tells me that in english it means stupid and deaf..... this is very wrong ha ha how confusing for the learners. perhaps dummy is better

 

we will have people wanting to call someone stupid but saying toilet instead
