I started to doubt that we are living in different Turkiyes, handsom

Well - actually the problem is, when you read the line of essay, at first glance, it seems like it says "men can walk in street holding hands"...

Yes, when men get out of mosques, they "shake hands" and hold that "shaking" for some seconds as they have a short chat.

But what essay says is very very different. They are not same things.

Definitely it needs to be.

Administration system in this room reminds me the Empire-style administrating of middle ages from history lessons

Yes, sometimes I see girls going hand in hand... but never seen two men...

two men walking holding hands?? huh ??   

no, this is not common, also inappropriate in Turkish society. yes, two arms around each other is common, that means they are very good friends. but not any good friends hold each other´s hands

And a type of addressing in slang

my favourite is;

Kanka > Kan + kardeş (brother of blood, brothers in same blood; commonly used between male teenagers.) 

Kanka, n´aber? > Hey bro, what´s up?

Ee´si, böyle işte 

(So is that)

memnun oldum > nice to meet you.

bir tane: one in number

bir tane elma : one apple

üç tane ev: three houses (in number)

bir tane daha: one more in number

bir tane daha kitap: one more book (in number)

What I see is (this is what I see, not a comment) new generation is living more secular in Turkiye, they are wearing western clothes, they are open to change and they are able to leave their families in university term and able to live in different cities.

So, new generation of women is going to be in western-mentality. This is what I see.

Women come into prominence day by day in Turkiye; both in modern and conservative views. AKP is known conservative and Islamic-rooted but they had established activity groups for women in party. AKP has got thousands of woman members all around the Turkiye. Same for CHP; modern and secular based nationalist party.

Turkiye is a country which is becoming modern day by day and that´s why women must have more roles in Turkish society. You can see women of every profession in Turkiye; police, doctor, security guard, teacher, news-announcer, in banks, etc; lot of them are wearing western style and seperating religional activities from their jobs.

This my observation.

thx

"Hava tramvay" is incorrect. Sky lift is probably "teleferik", because you can go Pierre Loti by "teleferik".

Dün teleferikte bir ders kitabı kaybettim. Adı Klasik Arap Felsefesi.

my try, hope it helps you.
