Someone please correct my translation for Wayxgone.

I thought it was a rather normal question, apparantly on the contrary of all the people who answered in this thread.

How much I hate prejudice and how much I try not to label people, or speak 'generally' (because in cases where it really matters, there is no such thing as general), we cannot deny the fact that every nation has a certain image and every nation has a certain idea of another nation too.

It's easy as that. Learning these generalized ideas full of prejudice, doesn't mean you have to think that way, it can actually just teach you how to be careful.

Maybe the question should be asked a bit more specific. A Turkish köylü will have a very different opinion about a Moldavian girl (if he/she already has one on this subject), than someone who lives in a big city or someone who works/spends his/her summer in a holidayresort.

I don't know in which part of Turkey you are staying, but if its close to the Greek border I'd advice you to make a trip to Greece in the last week of each 3 months. That way
your tourist visa will be renewed all the time. Its not really allowed I belıeve, but I know someone who visits the Greek island Chios every three months and gets his visa renewed. However he is, like me, a citizen of EU. This could not work for US citizens, you should try to work this out.

Be sure to find these things out in time and arrange them in advance, otherwise you might get unwanted surprizes once in Turkey, and thats the last thing you need when you are looking forward to 9 months with your fiancee.

Haha most funny I thought was at the end of the article, the addition of VOETNOTEN (footnotes )

I also often hear the answer:

İşte, ne olsun (well nothing special, should there be?)
İşte, ne olsun, napıyım? napalım? (its not that good or special but what can we do about it)

Teşekkürler as an answer in my experience equals to being ok. I tried a few times to answer with Teşekkürler instead of saying that İ was ok.. and then it goes like this:

A - Nasılsın?
DK - Teşekkürler, sen nasılsın?
A - Ben DE iyiyim, sağol!

They often reply with 'I am good TOO' , though I didnt say that I was good. From this I got to the conclusion that thanking must be equal to being allright if not used with a negative response.

I usually just say that I am good, or like today when I am a bit ill, fena değilim.

Ama iğrenç oldu ya.. bu kadın.. Maybe she has a strong voice and all of turkey adores her now (I watched that show pretty regularly when there was nothing else on telly and she made rather right comments usually) but.. the way she looks now .. ne kadın ne erkek!!

When she was younger, she looked as natural as someone who did something unnatural can be Actually rather nice! But all this make up and ridiculous clothes..

Im always saying shes lucky to be in turkey..no difference between he and she.. just O
