I really like that all Turks are like one big family,like they all are relatives.😊

[@itsbecky1287]

Sameee, I really love this about Turks ❤️❤️

Be careful with "Kardeşim" because it's also used in a conflict (usually between men) to show that you are getting angry at them or you are very serious about making your point. In this case, the sentence usually starts with the word "Bak kardeşim" (Look, brother) and continues with whatever you have to say.

What do girls use when they want to be friendly to other girls/women?

[@zeynepsudedede1815]

​@@passionfruitfruit I think we use ''Canım'' which means '' Dear or my dear'' more than ''kardeşim'' between girls but you are free to say kardeşim it has no gender

Kim Kardashian s surname comes from the Turkish word Kardeş (sibling)as her family is Armenian from Turkey,Kars region. l see a lot of Turkish words in many Greek people s surname too.

[@hakonsoreide]

I noticed the use of ağabey/abi when I started watching Hakan: Muhafız to pick up some Turkish (I picked that particular show because the protagonist sort of has the same name as me. The Old Norse name Håkon even means roughly the same as Hakan, and one of the admittedly less convincing theories about it is the names actually share an origin since, according to the Sagas, the Norse gods were warlords and chieftains that came from Anatolia), and the English subtitles usually translated it as "sir", which I guess is often the closest equivalent. My wife is Nigerian, and there - as they also do in many other countries - they say uncle/auntie to someone older than themselves they wish to show respect.

There is also baci which means female sister, this is used more in small cities and rural settings and it is not fashionable among the urban. It has a more restricted usage. Male people use this to denote that they love a female in a non romantic way. Dunya ahiret bacimsin :) (you are my sister in this world and the other :) )

It would be good if you could explain the use of "bey", "hatun". "oglum" "kizim" etc.(Sorry, I don't have Turkish alphabet on this laptop) How does an older lady address young people, without being too formal

[@selinozdemir3125]

"Bey" is used for the mans and it's actually a formal and respectfull expression. Both mans and females can use it for the all ages. It's means "Mr." You can use it like "Ali Bey, Ahmet Bey". It's hard to explain "hatun". It is used for the girls and usually between lovers. It is a compliment. Sometimes it's also used between friends when they're talking about their lovers. Like "senin hatun" means "your girlfriend". "Oğlum" means "my son" and "kızım" means "my daughter". Mothers/fathers can call their sons/daughters this way. Or it can used by when an elder man/woman call someone who is younger than them. It is widely used. An old lady can ask an adress like that: "Kızım, gel buraya. Acaba oraya nasıl gidebilirim?". It means "My daughter, come here. How can i get to there?" I hope that i explained it well. Sorry if i have some mistakes in my English.
