Quoting Elisabeth:

How can you go thru life and be so guarded? Of course there is always a chance of being hurt when you fall in love. But I would venture to say this happens everywhere under all kinds of different circumstances.



Sure does, no country is imune....did you ever see the film Gaslight? It is an amazing film, from 1944.

From the film's title, "gaslighting" acquired the meaning of ruthlessly manipulating an individual, for nefarious reasons, into believing something other than the truth.

Quoting vineyards:

Glad you liked that one. Here is a kocekce:

followed by a sad Turkish turku. The turku featured after the kocekce part is a lament for the thousands of soldiers who went to fihgt on Yemen front and never returned home. That one is also followed by short passages from various old Turkish songs.



Nice, what is that drum that looks like a saucer,jug? I've never seen that in traditional Turkish music. The Kanun is nice too. I love the kanun.

It really depends on what your BF family is like. In some famlies a kiss on both cheeks or hand shake would be OK. In others, kissing the hands of your future in-laws is proper. I'd ask your BF what the proper protocol would be for his family.

Quoting catgirl:

I´m going to Turkey end of this month to meet my boyfriend. And i will meet his parents for the first time. So i just want to know what is the right way to 'introduce' yourself;give 'kiss' to both cheeks or just shake hands. :-S

Well, I didn't get it. It seems she is targeting people who she has noticed have some proficiency in both Turkish and English.

It would be nice if someone would translate it. She probably is just too shy to post it in public.

Do you know you can put the word you want to say into the place on the left where it says Turkish Dictionary and it will take you to a dictionary where you can translate Turkish to English, or English to Turkish? You can also click on Turkish words in the forum posts and it will take you to the dictionary.

If you have a Turkish word on the screen, you can also hear how it sounds by clicking on little arrow under where it says Turkish -> English.

This is a neat Turkish word conjugation program, and it's free!

Quoting vineyards:

There is a class of musical genres in Turkish music meant to entertain people and urge them to dance. These are kocekce, sirto and oyun havasi. Here is a a youtube link of a clip featuring two prominent Turkish musicians playing a sirto called "Sultan-i Yegah Sirto".

Quoting teaschip1:

So that is their secret. Thanks for your advice! I think I'm going to go out and buy a wok now.



Steaming is a more simple way to cook. All you need for that is a pot to put the liquid in, and something with holes in it on top of the waterit that will hold your food.

Some people use things like broth for the steaming liquid. You can get very complicated, or simple. Just put food steamer in google and see what comes up.

You can steam at least 5 things at once, and clean up is simple.
