There are several social etiquette and norm in Turkey. Some of them are similar to those of us in the United States. Many people use gestures when talking, but putting their feet on someone's desk or table is very rude and impolite. Also, you need to be careful not to direct the back of your foot or shoe to other people. Rural areas do not tolerate the expression of public love. Hospitality is an important part of Turkish culture. Friends, relatives, neighbors frequently and suddenly visit.
In Istanbul, I found that Turkish people like learning about their culture and learning some Turkish like foreigners. 110% of the people guarantee that the Turks are afraid of foreigners and they can speak very well. Turks do not criticize someone who is trying to speak their language and they are not good at them; they tend to endorse and appreciate this attempt. This makes the Turks happy when foreigners tend to accept their culture. However, Turkish people are more likely to be unable to speak English and / or think that it is easier to interact with people who resemble them, or some people are strictly reserved for their culture and they Even if they meet foreigners, they will not have malice.
I learned that Turks are more open to society than Americans. From the Turks I saw, I like talking with new people and keeping harmony with them. The Turks can talk with almost anyone, especially when they are foreigners, the Turks are simply learning about the culture and language of some foreigners. Turkish people, especially their food is also likely to be shared. Even for secular Turks, sharing is an integral part of life, as the Qur'an states. Abandoning food has been integrated into a culture that is more culturally and culturally than religion.
