We also have a cleaning obsession. Turkish houses are “extremely” clean. 2. We buy magnets from wherever we go and display them on the fridge. 3. We have pictures of family members with all different, never matching frames in the living room. 4. We spend too much time in the balcony. I write this from my balcony xd 😂 I always invite my friends home to drink Turkish coffee in our balcony where we also smoke sometimes. (I never smoke except balcony&Turkish coffee or night outs) We “close” the cup and read each other’s fortunes. (It’s a Turkish tarot snsksjjkk) 5. My mom grows green onions, little peppers, peppermints in the balcony and gets very happy when she eats them. And dad always plants strawberry but he could never succeed :/// 6. We drink rakı and eat cheese and meze in the balconies with large friend groups and there’s always that annoying neighbor everytime who complains about the “loud talk” 7. Turkish carpets, towels and curtains are very important. My mom irons our curtains. She has guest towels as well. 8. We have something called “dergilik” where we keep 5 year old women magazines and old newspapers probably no one fully read. 9. My mom collects weird items like tiny porcelain bride&groom, tiny bicycle, fake paintings of Ottoman era. 10. Every Turkish house has that place where moms keep their jars of homemade jams, homemade tomato sauces, quality olive oil that is only used for salads and cold meals. 11. We never want to use the small toilet so we always argue about the big bathroom and the person inside yells “Go to the other one!!!!”

Well, in Sweden we always take off our shoes indoor, but we don't have slippers. (The following is off course a generalisation.)We always have doorhandles on all doors. We don't have doors with glass. We don't have curtains to cover the windows, we have them in different colors to the side or at the top. We don't boil water on the stove for tea, we use elecric boilers but we don't drink that much tea. We drink a lot of coffee, and I mean a lot. We use normally a brewing machine at home. We often drink latte and cappuccino at coffee places. Thanks for sharing fun videos! 👍

Very nice and on point! Everything metioned is 💯 also in Bulgaria and Greece 🙂 reminds me so much of my childhood, especially the vitrin with the exclusive glasses that we NEVER used and the laces all over the home even on your bed site drawer 😂 taking your shoes off is a must and in Bulgaria we also have and use jizve! But thinking of history these similarities are so normal as the balcans and more countries were under the great othoman empire...we all end up with similar if not same coulture and cusines. It's bringing us together now days, that everything is so minimalized and modernized, many of us young people stop following the traditions of our ancestors and it's so good to see all these common points reminding us of our families indeed.

[@krisztinahorvath5714]

I am a hungarian girl, and our home and habits are quiet similar. We have carpets, rugs curtains and crochet laces everywhere, on the walls and electronic things too. We let our shoes outside of the door, because the carpets cover the whole floor. In the rooms we don't even use slippers. We don't have this form of tea glasses, but we drink black tea and coffee all the time. Like if tea and coffee would be the solution for every problem! 😅 We also NEVER use the things, they are in the vitrin 😃 I have never seen people to live this way in our area, and I felt my family unnormal and strange, so it's very surprising and a positive experience to see, there are peoples, who are similar to us. 🙂

When I lived in Turkey, the first people I met were lower income guys from the East of Turkey. While they had many of the things that you pointed out (tea, tea pot, coffee, coffee pots, the "evil" eye, crotched lace coverings [in houses where there were women], and nesting tables) the furnishings were much, much different. Many had a "şark odası"- cushions around the living room and a low-legged table that could be rolled out and set up for eating. Kitchens are usually tiny, as well as the "bedrooms" and so almost all of the action happens in the living room. In some houses, the women had made beds from sheep wool that were folded and stacked in the corner. At night, guests would just sleep on one of those in the living room and then the next morning they would fold up the bed and put it in the corner of the room. Your house, of course, is beautiful. In 16 years living in Turkey I may have visited 2 or 3 of such houses. But most of the expats I met living there and my own friends lived in smaller buildings in old neighborhoods like Beşiktaş or Üsküdar with no elevators (but lots of stairs!) and much less luxorious surroundings (but still with those things you mentioned- everybody has those, regardless of economic status).

[@mina5142]

That's the type of house i grew up in. No bed lol just those fold up sheep's wool things that we sleep on top of at night on the floor next to the wood burning stove let me tell you waking up and eating bread and cheese next to that stove and sleeping on that bed was the best thing ever happened to me my whole life and now i live in U.S. in a big house but miss those things dearly.

The alcohol thing depends entirely on how religious the family is. Half the population is religious and the other half isn’t. The non-religious usually live in city areas, while the religious usually live in more of the farm areas. (When I say religious I mean people who actively follow the religions rules… cause drinking alcohol is against the religion. When I say Non-religious people I don’t mean people who aren’t muslim, I just mean people who don’t go out of their way to follow the religions rules and restrictions).

But I really like your video and hope to see more. Gürüsurus

So nice to have a tour of a real Turkish apartment. Love your videos -- they really bring Turkey to life. Have you made a video about how to make proper Turkish tea or coffee? I have seen it done on series but don't understand still. Thanks!

[@Turkishle]

Thanks Jennifer! I'll make a video on Turkish coffee soon :)

lace covers, carpets, plants, showcases(for showing crockery), portable serving tables, Tea sets except we love our milk tea, specially decorated Guest rooms 😂, both style toilets. As a Pakistani 🇵🇰 I can relate to so many things here.

Actually many things are same in all asia , such as removing shoes inside house , bidet toilets , low dining table but people think it is muslim or near eastern. culture . No its huge asian culture. well , here is asia minor Also east asia , middle east central asia etc are very recent terms.

What I love and wish I could have, is that round little oven used for pastries. It must be so power efficient. You don't have to switch on a whole big oven for a couple of trays of pies and pastries. I have only ever seen them in Turkish movies and series.

[@littlechestnutorchard]

I had the similar poblem, just to bake a small pie or roast a haf chicken it takes nearly an hour to warm up the oven and half an hour to actually cook , waste of enormous amount of electricity, especially in Turkey any kind of fuel is very expensive so I bought an air fryer and a round table top oven,they are great time servers.

[@sayantighosh10]

Hi Can! I am from India. I loved this video... It was very insightful & lot of cultural similarities I found with India like leaving footwears out side before enterinv someone's home. I was very intrigued by Turkish ppl by watching few web series like Dolunay, Bay Yankis, Ask laftan ankamaz etc.

6:15 This is called toilet 🚽 bidet, these are not so common in USA, but I remember some of the commodes I saw when I visited india, there is a knob or faucet, if you turn it on, it sprinkles the water to clean the area, while you’re sitting there doing your job.

[@umarmalek4950]

At 6:13 it is called bidet mostly used in Asian country, while in India we prefer jet spray. They are more hygienic than toilet paper.

I love the nesting tables. My parents have those too, here in New Zealand. Very practical. When I was visiting Turkey, I noticed that most places I stayed had a shower over the bath (not separate), and a glass side instead of a shower curtain like I'm used to. One daire (apartment) I stayed in had a banyo (bathroom) with a very low ceiling, which I found claustrophobia inducing, as I'm over 6' tall and had to stoop. I refused to shower in there!

[@leakeller5409]

Such an interesting Video Can!! :) I really loved to know more about Turkish houses, especially that one day I would like to live some months in Turkey :)

[@rosemariestudy7781]

I loved your video! I am addicted to Turkish series, the actors are wonderful -- especially in the comedies! I do not speak Turkish - but have picked up some words and greetings just from watching these shows! Love the plots, the handsome actors, the character actors, and the beautiful women who dress so very smartly. Love Turkey!

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

Thank you. This is a short documentary video about culture. Turkey seems a foreign place to me. Through you I will be learning how people live in some other parts of the world. New sub here from Asian continent. 😊😊

[@PeachyMushroom]

I have always had this intense obsession with homes, designing them, making them have good energy, also a love affair for linens: bedsheets, towels, curtains, and rugs, and yes, even adored bathrooms and bathing rituals SO much. Hence, I was AMAZED when I visited Turkey to learn these things also happen to very big interests of Turkish people. It was yet another thing that really solidified my intense enjoyment of the country. Guess we share a wonderful interest, indeed. I'll be making key mental notes to myself about design scheme and accents if I ever get to see the interior of any Turkish home. Love it! And ... NO WAY ... you never really had that squatting toilet, did you? 😲 I can't imagine that! 😅

[@yldrmbrs]

Some elder people here in Turkey believe that "squatting toilets" are healthier. Mostly in the eastern parts of the country some brand new houses still have this toilet.

[@seharnoor645]

Table mats and mats on tv, display of utensils in cupboards is also common in rural areas

[@loveyoutube2]

I am Ethiopian big fan of your country decors, you forgot to mention, matching furniture and the wooding design of the sofa and chairs. Also doors between rooms like the living room has it own door and etc..

[@Catuireal]

I recently saw a similar tour in a common egyptian house, and it´s so similar! And actually, if it wasn´t for the tulip shaped glasses, the custom of taking the shoes off at the door, and the toilet, it could very well be a brazilian house. The love of manual work is also diminishing as women live in cities and pursue outside careers, like men. I just wonder if the love of glass display is an imported French thing. I wonder if it was prevalent at the height of the Ottoman power in the 17th-18th centuries. And I was really curious about the turkish coffee machine!

I chuckle at the comments from all of these countries which used to be a part of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years and say that the way their home set up is similar - of course it will be! after such a long time under Ottoman rule - it's only natural... And I'm humbled by how far certain cultural phenomena have spread - Kashmir, Bangladesh, the Philippines, South Africa, etc... MashAllah!
