American here. I was USA military at Adana in 1984-86. 12:24 Family culture was similar to my rural living in Indiana. I really liked how close the families were with each other. Turkiye is rich in history and diversity. Absolutely the best years for my family! I lived in Adana at a large apartment building. My family felt safe and we had terrific friends. Liked it so much, I volunteered to go again in 1993-95. The second tour in 1993, Adana was not as friendly. I don’t know what happened but, we only visited the city twice in two years. Instead, we toured small towns and traveled Mersin to Alanya. The coastal people brought back the memories of happy friends and good strangers from the 80’s. Hopefully, Turkiye is still full of happiness. I wish my grandchildren could see the Turkiye I fell in love with.

@@justdoit423 I agree with what you said about the Turks in the US not being as sociable as the Turks in Turkey but I don’t agree with this being true in “almost everywhere and in every culture” If you are a immigrant living in a foreign country like the US, You’ll at least have a couple/5 friends who are from the same nationality/race as you. (I know this because I see not all, but most Arabs and Pakistanis for example getting along with each other here in America) I’m not saying that everyone that is from the same country as someone have to all get along with each other, But then again for me at least it would be nice to have couple Turkish friends I can keep in touch with here and there like I see the other nationalities/races mostly do here..

USA’da yaşayan bir Türk olarak söyleyebilirim ki bizim halkımız Amerikan kültürü hakkında hem iyi hem de kötü düşünceler bakımından pek bilgili değil. Şapkalı kız, 5:06’daki adam, 8:28’deki adamın tespitleri biraz doğru diyebilirim. Ama en azından kendi içinde insan gibi yaşayabilen, pek çok fırsatı barındıran, bizim halkımızdan daha dürüst bir halka sahip bir millet diyebilirim. Örneğin, hiç para ödemeden bir doktor sizi 60 dakika muayene edebiliyor. Doktor, bilgisayara bilgilerinizi yazarken, “ Sizinle göz teması kuramadığım için üzgünüm.” diyebilecek bir saygı gösteriyor.

From the viewpoint as an American, I’d say there’s truth to alot of the different peoples opinions to which I agree. I believe most Americans don’t travel to Europe because it’s expensive ticket, and for most of the middle class to bring the whole family is alot of money. Overall I think everyone has a lot more in common than we think or are told to think.

[@kasseesmythe8738]

It's very interesting to hear the stereotypes -- both good and bad -- that other countries have about us. I think the biggest difference between the Turks giving their opinions about us and US citizens giving their opinions about Turks is that there are a variety of opinions in Turkey, while most Americans have a more limited view of Turkey (and everywhere else for that matter.) There are extremely kind Americans here, and also very self-centered and cold Americans. Most Americans are more socially liberal than most Asians, Africans, Mideasterners, but perhaps less liberal than citizens of many European countries. But one thing I think is fairly true of most Americans is that they have (although perhaps unconsciously) this obnoxious idea of "American exceptionalism." There is no "best" country in the world in all areas. For example, socially I perhaps have fewer restrictions on me than people in most of the countries I have visited or lived in. But while I was a young woman living in Japan I could walk around anywhere in Tokyo -- one of the most populous cities in the world -- in any district at night without fear for my safety. In that respect Japan was (and I think still remains) far superior and "freer" for me (as a woman) than the US is.

As a New Yorker American(family from Puerto Rico). Who loves Türkiye very much. I have to say. We have many cultures and religions here. Americans are not all the same. Our economy is not that great. We struggle to survive. Even the rich go bankrupt. No one is secure here. And we know it. We don't care about politics because nothing changes. We dont look at the world because we are concerned with our neighborhoods and survival day to day. Educated people have time for world news. We dont travel overseas because it is expensive and takes time 8 hours minimum. Some people can't pay 100 for a passport and then pay for that country's visa. We are getting fatter because of processed food. Organic is expensive!! We don't have the same beautiful culture Türkiye does because everyone forgot where their parents and grandparents came from. Anyway I love Turkish people music food and culture. But it's hard in America. Family values dont exist anymore. It's sad.

Very interesting viewpoints. Thanks, Can, for sharing these voices directly from Istanbul. I would like to add that--in any country-- the impressions we have of people from other countries are usually based on our impressions of tourists. And, of course, tourists are generally very well-off compared to the great majority of their countrymen and quite relaxed and carefree while they are on vacation. So, when we give our opinions of "Americans", "Europeans", "Brits", "people from India", "North Africans", "Australians", etc., we are usually describing a very tiny portion of the people. Added to that are the stereotypes we see from pop culture on the Internet.

For them to understand how the people live in the US is pretty much the same everywhere. We look at each other as if things are good until you speak to someone then you understand.

Geez - interesting to know their view points about Americans. Everyone has their own perceptions both good or bad, mostly funneled via social media networks.

I have many Turk friends of all ages and somethings are puzzling to them, as some of theirs is puzzling to me.

In America the majority of people work paycheck to paycheck, 50+ hours weekly, not by choice but according to needs. The US government has absolutely no interest in helping the citizens. Refugees can arrive in America with UN paperwork, and have full coverage healthcare, dental, and vision, but a citizen working 50+ hours must pay and can barely survive due to healthcare costs for a family. America is too busy caring for others instead of fixing the inside first. I agree that there is a MAJOR drug problem in America, highly ignored mental health issues, and a daily increase in crime. Having been to Turkey before, I believe Americans overall could learn from the hospitality and luxurious lifestyle of being able to walk everywhere instead of needing a car like in America. I think Can could do more interviews of people aged 40+, the young minded interviews are only focused on entertainment, and lack of life experience.

American travelers should always be very mindful of their behavior and interactions with local populations when traveling abroad. You serve as an informal representative of an entire nation and culture. You might be the only American that somebody interacts with, and leaving them with a positive impression can change their entire world view on Americans. And it goes both ways, a positive interaction with a foreigner can leave a lasting impression on any American. Of course this does not change the fact that American foreign and economic policy is very dominant, but people tend to retain emotional memories from direct interactions better than synthesizing informed opinions based on encyclopedic political history. Always be a polite, friendly and respectful traveler and you can actually help sway popular opinion and effect international diplomacy in small ways. Bring small goodwill gesture gifts. Respect local customs. Better to be too quiet than too loud. Try to be a bit informed about what locals care about and some of the challenges they face. And always learn how to say "please" and "thank you" in the native language whereever you go.

[@ensdogukan]

About the economy, living paycheck to paycheck is now a luxury in Turkey, at least if you are just starting your life without any help from your parents. Because there are universities everywhere in the country (more universities less quality of education) everyone is either overqualified for the job they do or doesn't have a job at all. In the early 2000s the minimum wage in Turkey was only given to people who just started that job or to people who do specific works which do not require much effort. But now even people who gave their whole life to a company as blue collar workers make minimum wage. When I went to primary school my father was the only one who worked and he took care of us well. He used to buy bags full of snacks and food I love before coming home every evening. Now my both parents are working. Thinking about what we eat tonight? I must add that we own a home in Istanbul which is a miracle come true for a Turk right now. Thanks to my grandma and granddad who gave us money to close our debts every year. They own a hazelnut garden. Now think how on earth a Turk just got his papers from a university would be able to afford a living with minimum wage while house rents are near double in some places. You may say "go to a place where rents are lower". Those places are usually out of Ankara, İzmir, İstanbul and such which are just made up of farmers and provide near no jobs to someone who is in his/her 20s and wants to live their life to the fullest. I meant to at least see some places beyond Turkey and have fun some nights. You already can't afford it in rural places which don't have anywhere to have fun. Also have people who will not tolerate the modern way of life. They might not say anything directly but will talk about you just behind enough that you will hear them but they won't face consequences.

[@ensdogukan]

Also America is a big place with a stronger passport than Turkey. So one who is ambitious, has goals and has a lot of opportunities in America or they can try it in a different country. Turkey does not have that.

[@AltayDagli-y1z]

Mostly fairly accurate assessment. Obviously, not every American have a good life. Like everywhere else, there are rich people, middle class who live fairly comfortably, and then the working class many of them struggle quite a bit. But, if you are willing to work, there are plenty of jobs, and you can make a decent living. Basics like food and clothes are quite cheap compared to wages, but housing is expensive, especially after the pandemic. Yes, people are more free, and also respect different opinions and life styles. But, obviously, not every American have the same views and attitudes just as not every Türk has the same views and attitudes. Most of them don’t pay attention to what happens outside of America. Because America is so big and diverse, it is enough to keep you busy.

[@lisabelle7553]

Both my parents are Turkish, but I was born in Canada and now live in the United States. I never lived in Turkey, but I've been there many times.

Turkey, especially Istanbul, cares for its street animals and gives them right to exist. Here we euthanize, millions of healthy cats and dogs every year. There are good and bad on both sides.

As an American who travels the world and visits various countries, Turkiye being the one I'm currently in & I'm dating a Turkish man, some of the people in this video made me changed my mind about Turkish people as a whole. They call us selfish, but I'd rather be selfish than ridiculously over judgmental and spitful based on never visiting a country. Those calling American selfish, like the man I mentioned above, has clearly never been to America. His experience of Americans in Turkiye, are clearly based off of how Americans react to his judgmental assumptions of the world. 100% I would get along with most of the people in this video, but that man and a couple others who spoke like he did, you couldn't pay me to be nice to them. 🤔Hmmm, even money wouldn't motivate this "selfish American" to be nice to judgmental people.

[@weplo1597]

There is a huge hatred against America in Turkiye but truth to be told that in the past America did bad stuff towards Turks like supporting the seperatists groups and also since that old guy you mentioned was a muslim since elderly people or middle aged people have biased thoughts against Americans. It's a complicated situation in Turkiye since our history is pretty old and ever since Turks came from central asia to anatolia we've been fighting everyone non stop so they can't stop being so judgemental and it doesn't help that most of Europe also hate us and make alot of propaganda against Turks. However in my opinion that most of American people are very kind people but America's government is awful like ours.

[@ciguliTHEkavarazan]

This is how old people in Turkey often talk about Americans. Because they look at it from a political perspective. But when you look at the young part, you see a lot of American sympathy. They constantly dream of living in America. If we look at the middle-aged segment, they approach this issue neutrally, or rather, they do not care about America. So just because one person talked like this about America and American people, not all Turks think that way. Regarding helpfulness and stinginess, yes, Turkish people are more helpful and generous than Americans, but we cannot generalize about the American people as in the previous situation. It is very wrong to call all American people stingy and selfish.

Under the Liberal Biden admin., life has become stressful, our economy is horrible, we have high inflation, disrespect for law enforcement, disrespect from the liberals for the family, for religion, and the result is chaos. I envy the Turkish people in some respects as they are much more polite, have solid family units, they are more conservative which provides stability to their communities. They are better educated as in the US the liberals have infiltrated our school systems. Our society is crumbling and our freedoms are being taken away. Turks should never envy America as it is now. Under our prior administration, America had no wars, energy independence, and plenty of jobs and stability. Now we are heading down a destructive path. Our media lies constantly. Liberals cities are a hotbed of violence and drug use, our border is open with no vetting of who is coming in. We are forced to support, with our tax dollars, the war in Ukraine, which the majority of Americans do not support. The American people, in general, do not support what is being done. I will add that I love the Turkish people and respect their upholding of their traditions - don't allow anyone to change that!

Well said! I'm an ethnic Türk, but born in Canada now living in the United States. Everything you said is 100% fact I would add the crimes in US are incomparable. Drug addicts killing their own children, crimes so horrific that if even one happened in Turkey, it would be on the 24/7 news cycle. You also can't say we have freedom when Americans don't even have mandatory holidays given by companies. People work until they die of heart attacks. My father-in-law still works two jobs to maintain his health insurance. If you use the wrong pronouns in our woke culture, you could be canceled. That is not freedom. Don't even get me started on how many millions of healthy animals we euthanize in our 'shelters'. That in addition to everything you stated above sums it up. Turks only know what they see on TV and from our lying media or social media influencers.

Turkroach hypocrisy 1) supports pakistan sponsored terrorism against innocent indians and afghans but calls kurds as terrorist 2) hates all non-muslims yet calls himself secular 3) supports genocide of armenians, assyrians, kurds and arabs in the ottoman empire yet calls others racist

[@eroktartonga4032]

You are making dark propaganda and believe in your own propaganda religiously. None of these are true. People like you make these things up then believe in your own fantasy. You need to get rid of prejudice and start talking and listening to Türks and need to search more for non propaganda , actual historical resources as well as visiting Türkiye and meeting the Türks.

​​@@Squish_that_cat Pakistan, isn't terrorism. Cut out calling thus everyone you dislike a terrorist. And Kurd's how aren't? Who's worldly reconised terrorist PKK is clearly an reconised like that. They bomb our country like month. Hating non Muslim's? Who does to represent all Turkish people. This is an lie, we Turk's, don't like Islam neighter. 98% is rigged by our authoritarian forcefull goverment, there are alot of Islamophobe people out there too. Support the genocide? We deny it. Cause Turk's can't accept something that's strictly banned by our goverment. We don't genocide the Kurd's, we never did that since Turkish Republic. We fight with PKK and imagine calling people "racist" for this history. How racist can you be? AND ON GOD who hurt you? Which Turk hurt you enough to makw you crwy like that. And turned into you an racist person. 😢

Amerika’yı sırtlayan ve tüm yükünü taşıyan 20 bin civarı insan var. Bir üniversitenin bütçesinin yıllık 2 milyar dolar olduğunu duydum. İşte burada okuyan insanlar o milleti yüceltiyor. Eğer bizimde eğitime ayıracağımız bütçeler yüksek olursa biz de en az onlar kadar dünyaya hükmederiz

EVERYTHING you see from far is GOLD. The thing you lived in is coal. First of all, there is no place in the world where you will find all the people are happy. Not even in the so-called happiest country in the world Finland. Americans think their life is thrash and people who are not from there think america is heaven and vice-versa. I think Türkiye has a very good life standard to offer its citizens. People of the USA think all the Arabs are rich and people in my country thinks Turkiye is much better than our country and america is a dream. So, this is a common scenario all around the world. Most people in this video have literally no idea about life with the exception of one or two. And most of them have serious misconception about american life.

Hey Can, I have a question: So I generally know the difference between c and ç but if you use them in a word, is there actually a noticeable difference of sound between them?

[@Horusian]

Yes there is. For example; Çan=bell and Can=life, If you cant pronounce right sound, confusion may occur.

[@likeheaven3633]

@@Horusian ok, thank you!

[@by7275]

c and ç are entirely different sounds. c is pronounce like the j (or in some cases g) sound in English. For example when you pronounce Jacket, Jam, Joke...(or gym, gigantic, ginger) the first letters sounds just like c in Turkish. on the other hand ç is pronounced like the ch sounds in words like change, chicken, chain, chin... You can't use them interchangeably. Both the meaning and pronunciation differ immensely. for example: çam = pine cam = glass çin = china cin = genie çaba = effort caba = into the bargain (used more with the suffix -sı. 'cabası' meaning top it all, cherry on the top. however if you put -sı after çaba, as in çabası, it would mean his/her/its effort) çay = tea cay (caymak) = retract (to retract) çan = bell can = spirit/life

[@dantepr1566]

+ to the first reply, ç gets a lot more stressed whatever the word it gets in.

[@Sonilotos]

The letter "c" makes the /ʤ/ sound (like the "j" of "John") The letter ç makes the /ʧ/ sound (like the "ch" of "chase") It's an important difference in Turkish. For example: "Çin" means "China" in Turkish, meanwhile "cin" means "genie" "Açık" means "open", but "acık" is the imperative form of "to get hungry" (translates to "get hungry") And etc.
