I think turkish boys are warm-hearted and kind. If you are their friend they don't betray you, and they try to make you happy with their jokes and with being openhearted.
Talking about turkish girls I have to say I don't know them very much. Some are very talkative if they are together with friends, but most of them are very quiet if they are with strangers.
What I like most of Turkey is D�ner Kebap. Do you know about this great meal?

generally I listen to slow music.my favourite kind of music is slow.I think if you like slow music,you must Gece Yolcuları,Badem and Tarkan.If you don't find their songs,I help you for find their songs Very Happy
I think t�rkish people are very friendly but some of people are cold and don't like speak very much.t�rkish boys know apologize to girl.yes they try even way,It's very ımportant.
d�ner kebap is very important meal in my counrty.ıt prepare veal and special sauce.then ıt bake with hot charcoal fire.I think you must taste it Very Happy

Is the sauce called Zaziki?
And yeah I have heared of Tarkan (my friend like Tarkan very much) but I haven't heared Tarkan's songs yet (exept of my friend singing Trkan's songs to me)
Ha you must wonder I know some friends from turkey who haven't known about D�ner Kebap! What a shame.

No, the sauce isn't called zaziki.I don't know what name is the sauce because many spices are in sauce but it is special for turkey:D

ı can give you some common words, but when ı write here, can you read them Shocked it is difficult for me to write them as they are read Confused

but nevertheless ı write here:

merhaba --- hello , hi (it is same as arabic)
nasilsin --- how are you
iyiyim--- ı am fine


"i" in turkish is read as the "e" in english. "a" in turkish read as "u" in english.
