    Everyday manners in turkey

    In Turkey, as in many cultures, everyday manners play an important role in social interactions. Here are
    some common practices and etiquette guidelines to keep in mind when in Turkey:

    1.Greetings: It is customary to greet people with a warm and friendly smile. When meeting someone for
    the first time, a handshake is common. When greeting someone of the same gender, a light hug or a pat
    on the back may also be exchanged.

    2. Politeness: Turkish people value politeness and respect. Use phrases like "Merhaba" (Hello), "Lütfen"
    (Please), and "Teşekkür ederim" (Thank you) to show courtesy and gratitude.

    3. Table manners: When dining with others, wait for the host to invite you to sit down and begin eating.
    It is polite to keep your hands visible on the table while eating, and avoid resting your elbows on the
    table. Don't start eating until the host says "Afiyet olsun" (Enjoy your meal).

    4. Shoes: It is customary to take off your shoes when entering someone's home, unless the host insists
    otherwise. Many mosques and religious sites also require you to remove your shoes before entering.

    5. Tea culture: Tea is a significant part of Turkish culture, and it is often offered as a sign of hospitality.
    Accepting a cup of tea is considered polite, and it is customary to hold the tea glass by the rim when
    drinking it.

    6. Respect for elders: Turkish society places importance on showing respect to elders. Use respectful
    language and gestures when speaking to older individuals, and offer your seat to them if necessary.

    7. Personal space: Turks generally have a closer sense of personal space compared to some Western
    cultures. It is common for people to stand or sit closer to each other while conversing. However, always
    be mindful of individual preferences and adjust accordingly.
    8. Dress code: Turkey is a diverse country, and the dress code can vary depending on the region and
    occasion. In more conservative areas and religious sites, it is respectful to dress modestly, covering your
    shoulders and knees.

    9. Smoking: Smoking is still relatively common in Turkey, but there are restrictions in some public areas.
    Always ask for permission before smoking or consider if others around you are comfortable with it.

    10. Gift-giving: When invited to someone's home, it is customary to bring a small gift such as chocolates,
    flowers, or pastries. Avoid giving alcohol or pork products to Muslim hosts, unless you are certain they
    consume them.

    Remember that these manners are general guidelines, and practices may vary among individuals and
    regions in Turkey. When in doubt, observe the behavior of locals and follow their lead.
