Turkish 112 Cultural Post 1
Today I met three of Sezgi’s Turkish friends and I learned so much about the culture. I don’t think I would have came across these things on the internet. First of all, two of her friends were both named Marve. And whenever you have two people with the same name it is good luck, so you stand in between them and make a wish. The second thing I learned was that women, typically older, will spit on you if they like you. It is considered good luck, wards off the evil eye, and is considered flattering. Also, when meeting an older person, or addressing your grandparents. It is considered respectful to kiss their hand and then place their hand on your forehead. I think all of these little things about the culture are so important to know.
