       About the Publisher

Pronouncing Turkish

      Turkish uses the same script as English, with one or two unfamiliar letters. Generally it is straightforward to pronounce. You read the words as they are spelled. Pronounce every single letter in the word.

      The following letters sound roughly the same as in English: b d f g h k l m n p r s t and z but note that r is always rolled and always pronounced, as in Italian or Russian, and h is always a sound in its own right, e.g. mithat (meet-hat, not mee-that). In the pronunciation guide we use hyphens for clarity. Where double letters occur, both letters are pronounced, e.g. dikkat (deek-kat, not dee-kat), piller (peel-ler, not pee-ler).

Top ten tips

      1 When you visit a Turkish house, the host will say ‘Hoşgeldiniz!’ (welcome). You should reply, ‘Hoşbulduk’.

      2 Turks are naturally inquisitive about visitors to their country and are keen to hear your impressions of Turkey. Shortly after meeting, you may be asked where you are from, as well as more personal questions about your family life. They may also invite you for further discussion over tea or Turkish coffee.

      3 It is totally normal for women or men to kiss each other on the cheeks and hug. It is also normal for people to walk arm in arm or with their arm around someone, regardless of gender. It is a natural expression of affection, along with often touching a person’s hand or shoulder during a conversation.
