“Thank you” in Turkish

By Şeyma P.

In Turkish, “Thank you” is written as:

Teşekkürler
 
(Editor’s note: In Turkish, another common term that means Thank you or Thanks is Teşekkür ederim. In a subtle, and not to a universal degree, Teşekkürler is commonly used in a more formal setting, whereas, Teşekkür ederim is used in a more informal setting. With that said though, both terms are widely used regardless of the setting.)

She writes of the country's largest city, "I feel like a character from a novel or a story while wandering the streets and mostly getting lost :). It is impossible not to feel the Istanbul in poems, stories and novels. It's a city where I can't get enough of its cultural and artistic activities and often can't keep up.”
