as a turkish saying "baklava is from greece" and "i wanna die" are same thing for us

I think you were being too kind for the first point. When I first moved to Turkey in 2002 from America, I blew my nose strongly in a small börek shop. Everybody stopped eating ("I'm full") and got up and left the shop. I was alone with my friend Rafet. "You understand now that's disgusting for us, right?" I surely did. He told me to take it to the restroom if I had to blow my nose again. One thing I would add, "Don't piss off a minibus driver." You may end up meeting Haydar!

I’m Norwegian by blood, but Turkish by heart. I have always wanted to visit the country ever since I was a kid. My mother also has friends in Ankara. Since it’s a new year, I am going to devote it to learning Turkish. So when I visit Ankara, I am going to surprise both my mom and her friends by speaking really good Turkish. I cannot wait to see how confused they are gonna look when they ask me for things in English, and I respond in Turkish. Cheers. 🇳🇴🤝🇹🇷

I spent a week in Instabul on a business trip and i was AMAZED at how Turkish people treat stray dogs and cats . i loved it, so heartwarming

5:53 No matter where you are in the world, don't insult Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, he was one of the greatest leader of the 20th Century. Love from Singapore.

As a turkish person, i will guarantee that these are all true.

I am Greek and I love baklava, I don't know the real history of baklava but it seems more like a Turkish dessert to be honest. The important thing is to enjoy it people 😅❤

I am Bosnian and have lived in Sweden for almost 30 years. Just as every house has its own rules, every country has its own rules. It's nice to know and this video was done with good intentions. These 10 rules are very familiar to me because I have been spending my summers in Turkey for 15 years and my culture and tradition are very close to Turkey. I really can't believe that some people don't respect that or that, God forbid, they argue about food and what belongs to whom. First of all, in my opinion, it is uncultured to come to someone's country and house and not respect and still find faults and teach the host what is his and what is not. I think home education doesn't allow me to do that. As for yogurt, baklava, cevap, etc. we also have that in Bosnia and many cultures have almost the same or similar recipes and that's not a problem in my opinion. We also know that people moved, conquered and settled in different areas, so a lot of things were brought by coming to someone's area, and that, in my opinion, is a kind of wealth. So stop arguing about such things and enjoy them and learn something new, different. Not a single day should pass without us learning something. And God created us different precisely to get to know each other and learn from each other. Greetings to all around the world. Respect each other and spread love 🌏🌎🌍🕊❤️🧿🥰

Am I going to turkey? No. Do I plan on going to turkey? No. Is anyone I know visiting turkey? Nope. But me @ 3 AM. : I must know.

I understand that Turkish people don’t like to be confused with Arabs, just like Polish people don’t like to be called Russians. It’s not because Poles have something against Russians but because Poland is an independent country and people in Poland speak Polish.

In 2 weeks we'll there, in Antalya. I'm from Hungary, I've been to Türkiye before, but long years ago. I'm looking forward to our holiday. The Turkish - Hungarian relationship is very special. From the ancient, Asian times, later we were bitter enemies in the medieval times, during the Osman occupation. After that many of our great historical person had asylum in Türkiye, Kossuth, Rákóczi, Jozef Bem (a Polish general, who also a Hungarian national hero) and others. As for Atatürk, I read a lot about him. I think he was one of the greatest leaders of all times, many people respects him around the world for reason. Our languages, kind of long forgotten cousins, we have many loanwords from Türkçe, similar grammar etc. I even started to learn Turkish a couple of years ago, I'll see soon if I can use my limited knowledge. Türkiye büyük ve güzel bir ülkedir!

what is amazing is every shop welcomes you when you walk in, you either get called abi or abla which means brother or sister, or teze or amca which means aunty or uncle to older people, respect is a big thing in turkey, very very rare you will see younger sibling call their older sibling by first name either abi or abla, in fact, no young person will address anyone older by just name, eg will be Alyson abla or Tim abi ...

Don't know why, but I'm just obsessed with everything related to Turkey. Their language is so unique, the people are so beautiful and the place is such a heaven. Wish to visit one day!

American here. I had the pleasure of visiting Turkey many years ago. Had a wonderful trip traveling throughout the country. Wonderful food and even more wonderful people. Amazing history and culture with some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.

I'm a Turkish and I felt very happy when I saw comments about my country. In comments everyone ( mostly ) says that they love Turkiye. By the way, this video is completely true. Especially I hate comparing with Arabs and hearing someone insulting Atatürk. And I want to add one more. Our history isn't only Ottoman Empire. We had lots of states before Ottoman Empire.( Asia Huns, Göktürks, Uygurs, Karahans, Gaznes, Selçuklus... ) This much from me. Take care friends. Love from Turkey to all of youuu.

I just visited. Such a heaven the country is. Also what a hospitality! Wonderful place.

Bir de greek yoğurdu var,deliriyorum ona ..

Earlier in 2022, I spent 40 days in Turkey. There’s only one thing that I really hated about Turkey: LEAVING!! 😢😭 After visiting over 40 countries, I found that Turkey was by far, and very far, my favorite! The kindest, most respectful and devout people I have ever seen, rich in history and gastronomy. Seni özledim Türkiye, seni seviyorum 🇹🇷 Yakında geri geleceğim 🇹🇷❤️

Great video! Literally just returned from a vacation in Istanbul and I’m happy to report I wasn’t guilty of any of these offenses. I had an amazing time, met some incredible people and enjoyed some of the most delicious food. It was Republic Day when Ieft so needless to say it was lots of activity.

kardeşim türk kültürünü ve türk ulusunu yabancılara doğru şekilde tanıtmaya çalıştığın için teşekkürler, youtube'de, bunlara çok ihtiyacımız var, kal sağlıcakla 🇹🇷

Turkish people: *treating stray animals like their own pets* Me, a Hungarian: I'm home.

The thing I loved most about turkey was how the people treat street animals. They are given so much love care and respect and that’s how I fell in love with the country- besides the food and really friendly people😁

I'm a Turk and you're telling the truth, this kind of stuff really bothers us in Turkey

5:08 - It's the same here in Brazil, we only have 5 cents coins. So if something is 2,99. You pay 3 bucks. Very interesting video all in all. I am a turkish descendent brazilian and I love Turkey

"Don't treat stray animals badly" --- I fell in love with the Turkish culture because of this, seeing everyone petting, feeding and taking care of medical problems with the neighborhood cats and dogs in Istanbul. Heaven to me is watching the sunset outside a side-street pub in Istanbul with an Efes and a cat on my lap.

The reason 1 kuruş is so rare is because the material they use on making 1 kuruş is more valuable, so they collect the 1 kuruş's, melt them, and sell them for profit

Обожавам котките на Истанбул, те са неговата душа! Поздрави от България.😻

I’ve stayed in TRNC which is predominantly Turkish for 7 years and I’ll be leaving real soon but I absolutely love the people, place and culture. The language (Turkish) is beautiful, the people are great, the dramas (series) are my favorite. I absolutely love it here and I’m sad that I’ll have to live. I will definitely return to visit as much as possible. Also I really love that they love cats and dogs. Not to mention how very very very beautiful the country is.

I am in love with Turkey ever since I started watching TV series and reading its history. I would love to visit Turkey if God permits. Your Turkish language is beautiful, I am learning it and teaching my kids. I am from India. I have even started making Borek and menemen for breakfast. Hope to visit in future.

Bir gün Türkiye'yi ziyaret etme planım var. Ben herşey Turkiye'den severim😘 from Tanzania🇹🇿

U are so nice and your English is great! I am going to turkey soon and I happy I watched this video. Some points were clear to me but the tipping was good to know. Thank u!

I love the stray pet thing that’s absolutely lovely ❤ Well done Turkiye 👏🏼

I visit turkey every year 2 to 3 times , they are very polite people and they are always willing to help us around .... I'm Greek and as for the baklava I can tell you that the Turkish baklava is much much better it melts in your mouth plus the butter they use is amazing....I always eat there and always bring back home ...

I have been in Turkey many times. Turkish people are very kind,helpful and respectful Greetings from Oman by the way Omanis love ur country 🇴🇲 Arabic country

I LOVE "don't treat stray animals badly". I wish all countries felt that way. I love Turkey just for that! ❤😍❤

0:58 and don't confuse Romanians with Slavs. We are a Latin people. Ps: a big hug to Turkey from Bükreş!🇷🇴🤗🇹🇷

After seeing the comments I really want to go to Turkey. My dad went 3 times already. Iove from Bangladesh 🇧🇩💞🇹🇷

I've been living in the U.S for 23 years and go to visit istanbul almost every 2 to 3 years and I can say that our people and culture are way more welcoming than here in the U.S, I don't know maybe it's just me but it just feels that way for some odd reason. Like I can be way more comfortable around turks than I can with americans.

I m Indian and I love turkey and Turkish language. Teşekkür ederim 😀

I am Greek and I can say that baklava, kataifi, “greek” coffee, kebab, donner are 100% Turkish. I always say to my friends from Thessaloniki (I’m from Athens), that baklava is Turkish. And they say no , and I call them idiots 😂 We have those sweets too in Greece since we’ve been for 400 years under Ottoman occupation, which is logic that food would be mixed in both cultures somehow. Like imam, briam we cook these here in Greece, but are Turkish. Gyros is Greek by the way 😁All these syrupy pastries are from Arabic, Turkish or other middle east or central asian countries, I guess ‘

I'm visiting Turkey for the first time from Nigeria next week. Though I'll be spending a week, I find this information timely and very useful. Thanks

I haven’t been to Turkey yet. Thanks 🙏🏾 for the cultural info ℹ️ I’ve met many Turkish people in London. Every restaurant and cafe experience with Turkish establishments have been excellent 👌. They are always so welcoming. Going to your country is what I look forward to.

I don't know why am I so obsessed with Turkey... I watch everything related to turkey😊

Ataturk ♥️♥️♥️..In India🇮🇳 we have a road in our Capital New Delhi after his name "Mustafa Kamal Ataturk Marg"..

Great video. Thank you. Made me laugh and good advice.

Baklava actually comes from assyrian empire 800BC, nomadic turks were known for it only in 11th century.

Çok teşekkür ederim!Kemal Atatürk çok yakışıklıydı bir adam!!çok ilginç bu videonuz!selamlar Yunanıstan' dan!

Never drop the Turkish flag. Our flag must NEVER touch the ground. 🇹🇷

Just saw your video and I couldn't agree more... Every word is true. Good job kardeşim :)

Thanks for the information. Im Going to Turkey in a couple of days, I’m really looking forward to it.

As someone who lived in Turkey for 3.5 years I can honestly say, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there nothing but the kindest and respectful people. Love Chi tea, and idk what food people were complaining about because I loved it, especially ekmek (flat bread) omg loved it. Once went to a restaurant and saw trout on the menu, I asked how fresh it was and the waiter said, "come here." I followed him to a tub that had trout swimming around. I said, "That one please."

Classic Greek - Turkish debate: Greek coffee / Turkish coffee! 🙂 One time I almost enter a mosque in Istanbul without taking my shoes off, because we enter churches with shoes and I forgot.. But the guard was very polite, he realised I didn't do it on purpose and politely asked me to take my shoes off... I had a nice time there, Turkish people were very nice!

Thank you that you are reminding people to be polite, socially integrated, human and respect another culture ❤ it will be good for all countries and also at home 😊

4:18 we also understand turkish so don't gossip on us either🙂(keep in mind that 99% of turkish people are kind and respectful)but sometimes it just happen

Life hack in Turkey: Always talk about the food that originated in Turkey and how proud they should be

I love Turkey so much ! I went there like 7 times and I still go back every year. Turkish people are so nice and I really feel like I prefer Turkish man over man in my country (Slovakia), but country and food and your culture is absolutely fascinating and lovely. Sending so much love from Slovakia, can´t wait to go back to Turkey ❤

Thank you for this ... I am coming to Istanbul for 5 days at the end of May. Looking forward to visiting

Armenia, Turkey, Greece, Arab countries, Iran, the central-asian Stans, Azerbaijan etc.. they all have similarities in the food, but they all do it in their own unique way which makes it their own kitchen. All of these kitchens may use similar preparation styles, yet be very different from each other simply because of the flavour profiles and ingredients used.

I chose Turkey for my school project about country habits and business. Your video helped me a lot, thank you ;) . Love from Czech Republic

Origin of the food: Dolma: Greeks think it's Dolmades but dolma comes from "dol-" which means to be filled. Dolma means something filled. Döner: It comes from "dön-" which means to turn. Döner means something turning. Yoğurt: It's not greek, it comes from "yoğur-" which means to knead. Yoğurt means something kneaded. TOGETHER WE CAN STOP THE CULTURE ROBBERY. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.

Türk olup bu videoyu izleyen tek insan değilim değil mi?

This is very accurate I love this Çok güzel Can çok teşekürler

I know it seems weird but after watching Turkish dramas I want to visit Istanbul once in =my life to experience the beautiful sea in Istanbul and the bosphorus bridge for sure. Love from INDIA.

I'm Portuguese and I love everything about Turkey from it's ottoman history to its food 👏👏👏🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Excellent, helpful and informative video. Thank you. Kudos to the Turkish people for liking street animals, it shows the intelligence of the people. Similarly, not expecting tips, this is an advanced country attitude, pay for what you have at the price advised. Well done I enjoyed your great presentation too.

Hi from macau, I'm portuguese,I really love to go to Turkey,is on my backet list.. thanks for teaching your ways.

I don't think discussing Turkish politics is a good idea, either - especially by foreigners. We don't live there and don't understand all the details of the government. It's just good manners to not discuss politics.

Well! I have been to Turkey and live there for a year and I'm just obsessed with everything related to Turkey. Their language is so unique and beautiful and the food especially the beautiful people very friendly and respectful and very hospitable people and the place is such a heaven. Wish to visit some of my friend one day!

as a türk,I can confirm all of those but I would like to explain why does turks loves atatürk.Atatürk is founder and the first president of the turkey and he done so much things for turkey. like revolution of language.He regenerate the Arabic language with latin alphabet.I can give you an example like kahva=Arabic and kahve=turkish.And in the first world war he saved us in the Independence War from our enemies.He is the most clever man I've ever seen from turkey.His war tactics are saved turkey from being captured by colonial countries.And even he made the revolution of clothing.He didn't say you can't wear islamic clothes like eşarp or takke.but he said that you can wear more modern clothes.And after he became the president he done lots of things in turkey. like opening factories,making a party for choosing when its come to choosing a president,talking and motivating the people and more.He even adopted child (Sabiha Gökçen)and look after her like its her daughter.And she became the first woman pilot. So if you want to consult Atatürk,think twice.

This was interesting - thank you for these tips.

The thing I hate the most is that they think we're Arabs -.-

Thanks, very helpful video for when I finally can visit for more than the few hours I did back in 1977 (as part of a cruise). Some things I already assumed, others I knew, but others (like blowing the nose noisily) i did not know. (I was born in Crete, but from 1 to 9 years old I enjoyed living in the island of Chios, which is very near Turkey, some points are 'swimming distance' (2 km or so) and in WW II some Greeks did swim to Turkey from there to escape the Nazis and the Fascists. Even by slow kaik boat, the ride to Cesme took less than 30 mins. then I moved to Athens where I lived from 9 to 23, and the rest of my life in the US with summers in my home in Greece.) I find it funny that I have been to China many times for many weeks at a time (for work and pleasure combined) and still have only been to Turkey that one afternoon in 1977.

I was in Turkey for nearly a year, and loved every moment of it. The most loving people ever, and would do anything for you to make you feel welcomed. I never ate so well in my life. Here in Finland we argue about food, what is Swedish and what is Finnish or Russian. We all put our spin on dishes and make them our own.

Been hearing good things about turkey and how nice everyone are in turkey so im planning to come over this September. I hope it goes my way🥺

100% agree! Thank you Can :)

I love it when he told that "dont treat stray animals badly" also they jave shelters and food for them.. Wow Ma sha Allah ❤

I am a crzy fan of Turks 🇹🇷I love Turkey ❤️love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Went to Turkiye May 2023. Fell in love with this amazing, unique country. Missing Turkiye sooo much. Cant wait to come again. Perhaps when time permits, i could stay for a few mths there .

I have been to Turkey many times. It is a very beautiful country. Beautiful nature, Turkish coffee, kebab and other nice things. Strongly recomend to visit. And many amazing cats around with their cat houses :) Greetings from Ukraine.

these points are just definition of warm hearted, polite, logical. I love Turkey so much, my God.. I wish I lived there

Turkey is a gorgeous country! Full of unbelievable historical cites, beautiful beaches and towns, exciting tourists tours, and great food! It is a kingdom of baklava and black Turkish coffee, and most importantly they are great hosts! They make you feel so welcomed and special! Istanbul, Antalya, Alanya, Cappadocia, Kas, Bodrum, etc...all beautiful on a different way! We've been there and planing to visit again soon!

Finally, a must see before going to turkey. 😊

As a Turkish I like your video. I have a fiance who is from foreign country and also I am helping him so he can learn Turkish and Turkish culture. I am sure this video of yours gonna help him a little bit more too. Thanks 😊

I’ve not been to Turkey yet but only as I just can’t decide exactly where to stay, so many lovely looking areas! Your points were great and also remind me so much as I remember in Morocco, another more relaxed Islamic country. I suspect as a female however that I will feel less intimidated walking around in Turkey which is good as respect for each other should be 2 way. Can’t wait to interact with the cats 🐈 Great video, very sweet and amusing too 😊

I have just came back from turkey. And I have changed my views dramatically. The city of Antalya is more civil than Birmingham, UK.

I love how they treat cats and dogs😍 I been to Türkiye 5 years ago While we were going out of a masjid in Alfatih street There were lots of birds on the ground eating seeds that were given by people My kids just spontaneously ran to catch the birds not with the intention to harm them but just childishly 😌 I will never forget the reaction of the people around us They got mad and one guy shouted to my kids in Turkish which I couldn't understand But he was obviously angry that we disturbed the birds while eating I respect that actually and ended shouting to my kids😄

Some people who doesn't have any idea ( from America Continent) can come to Germany, and you will find all turkish restaurants with turkish food so they can say DURUM is from Germany 🇩🇪 I live in Germany and in many cities you have "a little Istambul or Türkiye " The same turkish people say that. I love that and I learn with you so I go to my turkish market and I practice my turkish there. Alhamdulillah Subhanallah ❤

I am turkish and ik all of those idk why but i just wanted to watch this, the video is kinda satisfying for some reason lol

What an awesome video 👏 Thanks for sharing all these things with us. I love watching your videos because you're not clickbaiting or promising too much. There's always information that helps me in some kind of way😊. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

I love the idea about not wearing shoes in the house. It keeps the house clean. I watch Turkish series all the time and just love how clean most of them are.

I love that Turkish people are so sweet with stray animals ❤

This was helpful, thank you!

Turkey is beautiful country ❣ I love Turkish drama madly 😁 I wish someday I'll go Turkey 🤞 love from India 🇮🇳

I’ve wanted to visit Turkey since I was in the 6th grade. In world history we had to pick a county to do a year end report on I chose Turkey over Russia, now in 6th grade the Cold War was at its height. But that’s when I feel in love with Turkey,fast forward to 2022 I’m 53 and this fall I’m finally taking a 25 day trip thru Turkey. Maybe I’ll never leave ❤️❤️❤️

I was in London last year. And for the first time, I learned that blowing your nose in public is a normal thing in Europe. It was really interesting, people do it so casually that it began to seem normal to me too. But thanks to my Turkish genes, I was never able to blow my nose in public myself. Because even though it is completely normal, it feels very embarrassing!

Thanks for sharing!

Turkish people do,nt speak english... And i like this.... Why should they speak english... Turkish language is so good..

I think the best thing about Turkey 🇹🇷 is the love towards animals 🥺❤️ I'm from India 🇮🇳 and wanna visit Turkey 😭

I went to Turkey last year for the first time and I have to say it was a fantastic experience, everyone was super friendly, the streets were safe and clean, things were fairly cheap and good quality, the food was amazing and I loved seeing the cats and dogs roaming the streets - they were remarkably well looked after and clean. Amazing country.
