Turkish is spoken by over 80 million people and is known for its logical, agglutinative grammar.
In this lesson, you will learn essential greetings and polite expressions for everyday conversations.
Turkish uses the Latin alphabet with a few special characters: ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü.
Turkish people are known for their hospitality. When greeting someone, 'Merhaba' is neutral and universal. Among friends, you might hear 'Selam' (informal hi). Offering tea (çay) to guests is an essential part of Turkish culture.
