I decided to do my final cultural presentation on Turkish baths or hamams. I thought this topic was interesting because it has such a long history in Turkish culture and because we don't have a bath culture in our society. My list of vocabulary not listed in the presentation but read out loud included:
hamam - bath
vakif - charity
camekan - entrance hall
sicaklik - hot room
gibes tasi - the big pedestal thing in the middle
sogukluk - cooling down room
nailn - bath clogs
tas - bath bowl
kese - bath mitt
pestemal - thin bath towels in a plaid design
