is celebrating halloween popular in turkey??
how to say"Happy Halloween!!" & "TRICK or TREAT?" in turkish??
please tell me sth about turkish halloween...

as far as İ know halloween isn't celebrated in Turkey at all.

oh?! is there any turkish festival similar to halloween??

as far as İ know..... there isn't anything like that. There is different attitude to death and everything connected with it. But İ'm neither Turk nor Muslim....so İ may be wrong.

so...what do turkish think about death?? :-S

Do people celebrate halloween in turkey oh and i will turn 18 on that day

You cute people you!

Hollowen is not celebrated by muslims and even though Turkey is a secular country, most of the people are muslims, hence, Hallowen is not celebrated. But Christians in Turkey may... I know my friends used to celebrate Chrismas etc.

so...christmas is almost not celebrated in turkey??

It has nothing to do with religion. This means, we don't celebrate Halloween because we are muslim but because we are not used to.

For instance the new year is certainly celebrated and it is common to have decoration and a cristmas tree on the new year. Many Turks dont know cristmas at all and cristmas is umcommon but the new year isnt.

Erdinç:

I live in the uk and don't celebrate halloween at all! as far as I am concerned it's all a load of commercial rubbish! Who wants to celebrate all things evil? I certainly don't. I know that it's just a bit of fun, but I think people in general take it a little too far.

First I should say that Halloween is not a Christian celebration. It is a celtic party that was very popular throught the Ireland people. When they emigrate to USA they introduce this celebration in America and then they do it in the rest of the continent too.
Here in my country, Mexico, we do have halloween parties but for our traditions we have a party called 'Day of death'. We do celebrate it at november 1st and 2nd. November 1st is for remembering our beloved death children and 2nd day for remember the memory of the old and adult ones. But those parties, called Halloween or in Mexico our days of death has nothing to do with religion but with our traditions.
However, in Turkey they dont celebrate these days. I had a convertation with some people in Turkey, and they all argue is not a nice party and not good remember and make party of these stuffs.

I know it seems as though Halloween is an American holiday these days, but here in Ireland, it has always been celebrated. It's actually Samhain, Pagan New Year, and the time when every person who has died in the previous year moves on from this world. Even as a child, my friends and I dressed up every Halloween and visited round the neighbourhood, singing songs for sweets, apples and nuts.

I still celebrate Halloween. It's not about vampires and monsters and evil things, but about saying goodbye to the dead. I lost my mother last October, and my father the year before, and find it comforting on Halloween to follow the old traditions of remembering them especially on this night

Poland has no Halloween tradition either but, similarly to Mexico, we have The Day of the Dead (or All Saints Eve)on 1st November. However, little does it have of the Halloween fun - it's a serious holiday when people think about their gone beloved.
What surprised me yesterday were groups of young people in their costumes and doing the "trick or trick" thing. I guess language imperialism that is so characteristical of English brings along cultural imperialism. We already took to St. Valentine's Day, now Halloween...as soon as we start celebrating Thanksgiving I'll give up my citizenship :-S

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY !!!
Wish you all the best in this world and all your dreams come true.
