Can You Read Turkish?

 

Lucky for us, Turkey uses a mostly English alphabet. Even if you don’t know what the word means, you can usually say it. A few words are the same in English, and others are close enough you can figure it out. See how many you can get correct:

 

Otomatik

 

Automatic! This is for a car gate.

 

2Pac

 

2Pac! He lives!

 

Fotokopi

 

Need a photo copy?

 

Fourth line down:

 

Kamera

 

Camera!

 

Matematik

 

Anyone need a mathematics geometry tutor?

 

Matematik

 

This is an organic foods store down the road from where we live.

 

 

Taxi rides are a quick way to get to the mall, but can be scary because of the traffic! Turkish drivers don’t pay attention to the lines on the road. There can be a 3 lane highway with cars 5 across! Their mentality is if there is a space, fill it!

 

 

I must have looked like a tourist taking all of these photos… Maybe that was ok because this was a tourism bus!

 

So, how did you do?
