forgot to mention that where we had the bird flu in turkiye and it was all over the news.there was a time where the internet was full of people making fun of it (ohh turkey the bird has the bird flu hohoho,if you are called turkey no wonder you get the bird flu hoho,dont get me wrong i love turkey,indeed i will go to my favorit sandwich diner and get me my favorite turkey sandwich hoho,what kind of country in his right mind would call itself turkey hohoho,turkey is your neighbor chicken hoho etc) instead of discussing it nicely.i know they are ignorant people but it can get very annoying and insulting sometimes.

Quoting Roxy:

I am really sorry but, friends... why is the so much trouble about Turkey/Türkiye business???
I just asked an English friend here, what does she think when someone says " I am going to Turkey next week" , and she said, "beleive me I always think country Turkey first and never comes to my mind as a bird".. and I never ever come to misunderstanding the issue or people making fun about it etc..so why all the worry???


well i can tell you my story about this one, of course not all of them think of turkiye as a bird when they hear turkey but many do.for example i was visiting my friends house and his son asked me where i was from, when i answered i am from turkey he was like, can you speak chicken?? well yeah to you guys it may seem funny but it was insulting to me, so i couldnt laugh about it very much as my friend did at that point!! well just forget about it, there is no point discussing it now many people just dont get it!!as long as the government is fine with getting called chicken or bird i guess i should be fine with it too.

turkish families themselfes.last time i was on i have noticed people discussing topics about turkish traditions and customs.i couldnt find that forum topic so i am posting here.i just wanted to say that it does not apply to all families who live in turkiye or elsewhere.so to speak they all have the same customs and traditions,that you guys pointed out.no they dont.like in my family we are not traditional whatsoever,we do not serve elderly first we do serve kids first, eventough we have lots of respect for the elderly people i do believe you can show your respect in other ways and not by serving them first,they can wait but kids wont!!another one like we do not kiss elderly people's hands or anyones hands as matter of fact why should i kiss someonelses hand i dont even know,i have just met but because they expect me to do so?? i think thats wrong.as i said you can show your respect to others or to elderly by so many other ways.
speaking of taking your shoes of before you enter a home,thats not unusual and its just common sense you dont take the dirt from outside into your house.i have seen many other nations doing the same,in their countries.some of the costoms yes but the traditions, no they do not apply for me since i do consider my self more liberal than traditional.yes you will find lots of traditional families still all over but you will also find many liberal families there as well.i do believe in this nice turkish atasöz'ü we have "zaman sana uymasa sen zamana uy" i completly agree with that.i think in my eyes many traditional families want you to accept and respect their beliefs and their ways which is nice and dandy but they refuse to accept yours.respect me i will respect you as i would say more tolerance and less violence!!peace out!

ardarkadaşim bunun aşağilik komplexiyle hic bir ilgisi yok sen sadece anlamiyor veya anlamak istemiyorsun.biz onlara misir diyorsak tabiiki onlar misir olmadiği gibi bizlerde hindi değiliz ama sadece anlamadigin seyde burada zaten.başka her ülke bir başka ülkenin ismini uluslararasi kullandiginda o ülkenin ismiyle hitap ediyor,mesela,italia,espania, vs gibi neden turkiye'ye turkiye degilde turkey deniliyor o zaman hala?? bu bence sadece alay ve küçük gördükleri icin.tabiiki ben burada hickimsenin turkiyeyi hindi anlaminda söylediğini demek istemiyorum.biliyorum buradaki insanlarin hepsi türkiyeyi çok seviyor ve kesinlikle alay etmiyordurlar.sende türkiye hakkinda ingilizce yazilan forumlara katilip ne kadar aşağilayici ve nekadar çirkin ve alayci şeyler yazildiğini görseydin sende aynen benim gibi düşÃ¼nürdün.mesela gecenlerde turkiye hakkinda sohbet edilen bir foruma katildim tesadufen,orada konusulanlar o kadar zoruma gittiki yazilan şeyler cok asagilayici ve resmen cok saygisizlikti.şikayet edip forumu kapattirmak zorunda kaldim.yani şunu unutmaki herkez senin benim gibi türkiyeyi ve türkleri sevmiyor kardeşim.

i do complety agree there with you.some people never appreciate what they have until its gone right.so like you said some turks dont really appreciate the fact that they have the most beuatiful country on earth.they only see the downside on everything and always keep complaining about but never do anything about it to change things they dont like or agree with!! i can tell you nowhere in the world its perfect to live!! can i tell you that i was just watching the news here in the richest country the UNITED STATES they have 34 million people living under the poverty and many kids and babies go to bed hungry.so its not just in poor countries like africa or india.poverty exist all over the WORLD we should never forget that and appreciate what we have and remember the grass is not always greener on the other side!!would you believe me if i tell you that we have here families with 3 kids living of 250 dollars a months??yes and this is Amerika for you!! for all the dreamers out there that life is better somewhere else trust me its not.you have to work as hard and struggle as much wherever you go.

there are no travel restrictions in turkiye for turkish citizens.as long as you have proper documantation and get your visa of course.other than that no restrictions whatsoever you can travel anywhere in the world if you have the money and the right documentation as i mentioned earlier.you may just have problems getting your visa from the embassy of the country you are travelling to,but as long as you can proof them,that you are going to come back to turkiye and you are not going to reside in the country you are travelling to,you wont have problems.some european countries germany,england,france and such are just plain afraid you are going to stay there and never leave. thatswhy they have problems issuing your visa most of the time.(which i honestly dont blame them for acting that way because some of the guys who travel abroad dont have any intentions on going back to turkiye after their visit)like i said if you can proof you are going back to your country after your visit than you have no problems travelling abroad.well of course if you are criminal you wont be allowed to travel anywhere.i guess thats the same way in any other country!!

well yes turkish men can get very emotional attached sometimes and if they dont see a way out they do commit suicide very easy for their loved ones.but of course we do not know the circumstances why your man wants to commit suicide,did you ask him?? no matter what the circumstances are committing suicide for a loved one is unnesserary in my opinion life goes on no matter what!! and there is always a solution to every problem!

in general turkish people are very friendly and are known for their hospitality all over Turkey.So dont even worry they love kids and they wont take it personaly or see it as an attack if your kids dont act accordingly.especially when they are sick and they can not control their actions.turkish people are very loving towards kids and very forgiving. so please feel free to visit Turkey,you will not regret it.i have seen your post has been posted for while now and i dont know why people have not answered you yet, but i hope you do come and check it regulary.so no need to worry enjoy your visit to Turkey.you will want to go back i can assure you

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Yes but this is what i mean.. does turkey try to convince others there isn't danger, in order not to loose their summer-incomes?


You know i realy dont think Turkiye needs to convince anyone to come to Turkiye to spent their summer vacation.
First of all no matter what Turkiye has always enough visitors from all over the world and second bird flu already spread all over Europe!! So then you may as well do not go anywhere just stay at home,if you are so scared about catching the bird flu.I guess you can catch it anywhere were birds are right now right??!!!So the same goes for your town what makes you think you are save there??

Quoting dockit:

Now...for anyone out there...
Can you tell if this is grammatically correct...is it "good" Turkish or not? Does it seem as if it were written by an educated person or not?


I do agree there with Kadir,the person who wrote the letter lacks some kind of education, the grammair in this letter its very bad.Even though i was raised in Germany i do not make so many mistakes when i write in turkish,as the original letter writer who obviously lives and i assume went to school in Turkey.Which is a shame!!!
