also i like the turkish music can you recomind any singer to listen to...
if you want to ask me anything feel free 
take care |
ı can give you some common words, but when ı write here, can you read them  it is difficult for me to write them as they are read 
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. |
did you learn yourself or did a person help you ?
it is well... |

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. |
A recipe for Zaziki found on the Internet. Apparently there are many ways to prepare it, but here is one. ("T" means "tablespoon"; "tsp." means "teaspoon.")
Tzaziki
Kosher Salt & Coarse Pepper
2 cups plain (or Greek) yogurt
1 medium cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
1/2 cup sour cream
1T champagne/white wine vinegar
2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
1 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh dill
Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth or paper towel-lined sieve and set it over a bowl. Grate the cucumber and toss it with 1 T of kosher salt; in another sieve. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours so the yogurt and cucumber can drain. Squeeze as much liquid from the cucumber as you can; mix/blend yogurt, cucumber, sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Hello:))
 ))
By the way, I can sing Turkish song Super Baba( bana bir masal anlat baba)))
Actually, I already sang it. Of course, I have a terrible accent:(
I like turkish people:)
I know Turkish girl. And she is very nice and friendly:))
Ah, yeah! And special “thanks” to Turkish people, because they call “Russia” almost similar of original. The only difference is in the second letter. I don’t like how “Russia” sounds in English.
And by the way, we call Turkiye in other way(not similar to English) too:). Our pronunciation is almost similar to original, but we say “tz” (sound is like moriTZ in German name:)), not “k” Turtzia:)

Chuvash:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chuvashs.
A Chuvash is a member of the subset of Turkic peoples living in Russia. Chuvashs traditionally come from Volga Bulgaria and Mari tribes. In Russia, this includes Chuvashia, Tatarstan, and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

I watched a sitcom in which the husband asked his wife:"where will your parents spend the Thanksgiving day this year?"
"Hmm, I'd rather not tell you. because you would make fun of them if you know where they go for ThanksGiving." said the wife, reluctantly.
"Huh, Turkey? I bet your parents will go to Turkey to celebrate Thanksgiving. hahahaha! that's really funny" said the husband, hysterically.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Is that funny? and just because Turkey and Thanksgiving food turkey are the same word?
I don't think it's funny. Maybe Westerners think it's funny, but this joke is a culture shock for Asian audiences. so we don't get it |

absolutely 
but : V.I.Lenin had also hebrew origins. I'm not sure, but maybe he had German origins also.
Ivan Yakovlev - he was not teacher only, he was the one who made chuvash alphabet. he founded a lot of schools in Chuvashia. he helped to Chuvash culture a lot.
Nikolay Fyodorov - he is a president of the Chuvash Republic Right now:)
the only problem in Chuvashia is that we rarely use our language .
and only in chuvash villages our language is alive
Almost everyone in Chuvashia is speaks in Russian, especially in Cheboxary. I know Chuvash language just because I spend too much time in villages when I'm at vacations
chuvash language is dying day by day

I'd like to tell something about our flag
Turkish flag have red background with crescent moon and star. Most of the people think that crescent moon is symbol of Islam but it's not.
Crescent moon is a pre-islamic turkish symbol which was used by pre-islamic turk tribes. With Ottoman Empire started attacking to Europe, when European sighted Ottoman flag with crescent moon they assumed that it was a islamic symbol.
And it was thought about red color of background to represent pool of blood of Turkish wariors. But it's not certain, just legend. |
