Want to play a word game that helps expand our Turkish vocabulary at the same time? Well, this is what you must do. I’ll write a word in Turkish and put the English meaning of it in brackets.

The next person must use either the first or last LETTER of my Turkish word to create another Turkish word. And it goes on like that. Please write the English meaning on the side so we all know what that word means
