I think you also mistook burqa with niqab. Burqa is the cloth that covers 100% of your body including your eyes and its the cloth that women in afghanistan wear. I've never seen even 1 person wearing burqa in turkey. I think what you meant is niqab: aka the black cloth that covers big part of your body except eyes. It's very rare in Turkey again but yes,there are some women wearing that
Love this video. When I said I was learning Turkish and planning in visiting Turkey..... tons of attitude and misperceptions from people. I am the type of person who likes to learn so I started looking at the culture, food, geography etc. As far as Turkey being an Arabic country, I know it's not, but people I have talked to keep asking why I want to go to a middle eastern country where women are oppressed. UGH! I correct them but they don't care. Many Americans unless they travel or research things are just ignorant about other places. I'm sharing this because it echos what I've been telling them.
I experienced a lot of the same misconceptions as an American planning to visit Turkey. Especially from older men. The people who were most excited for me to visit Turkey were my Croatian-American community, but most of us have at least traveled to Croatia before. Discussing world travel with people who have never left our country or have maybe only left on a cruise ship is super annoying.
@@sheilahmiller507 Hey Sheilah, I want you to know that 90% of these prejudices are wrong. The only truth is that politics should not be discussed outside.And the RU-vidr friend in this video said something wrong. It is not true that 98% of our country's population is Muslim. According to a study in 2020, 89% of Turkey's population is Muslim. But even this ratio is not correct. There are too many irreligious people in our country. The number of people who are atheists, deists, agnostics, Christians and shamans is not small. But people here usually do not say they are irreligious. That's why it seems as if there are many Muslims in our country. If you visit our country, make sure it will be safe. I live in istanbul. Istanbul is one of the largest metropolises in Turkey and the world. If you visit our country, I definitely recommend you to visit Istanbul. Then visit these cities of Antalya, Eskişehir, İzmir, Mardin. If you come to Istanbul, I would like to meet you and have a coffee. 😄

Thank you for this video!! I've visited Turkey numerous times and I love the culture and people there. There's SO many misconceptions about what Turkey is like. I plan on moving in January and all my American friends keep telling me I'm dumb because my rights as a women are going to be taken away and that they'll force me to wear a hijab. So ignorant of them! I can't wait to send them this video to debunk some of their misconceptions.
ahhaha wtfff even in the mosque some türks refuse to wear hijab and when people warns them to wear it girls sometimes say that if it is sin for you do not look at me its thats simple :D btw wellcome to turkey at the last elections most important and populated cities votes to left parties so in near future we will got soo much better political stuation too hopfully =)
🤣🤣 Will they be forced to wear a hijab? This is funny. People like to talk about things they don't know. If you come to our country again, I live in Istanbul. I would like to meet you and have a coffee. I love foreign cultures and languages.
I didn't think people were so ignorant. I think biased media outlets want to portray us as a different culture, or to increase hatred. Thank goodness there is RU-vid. You can wear any outfit you want.

We really need more people teaching turkish on youtube , specially the grammar , as a Persian i think Turkish is easy to learn if you have a good teacher
My first encounter with a Turkish person was when I was travelling with my Mom around Europe. It left a big impression on me as I had never met such a gentleman in my life! He was very polite, respectful, well spoken, and kind. Not pretentious, totally genuine. We only talked for a short time but every time I think of Turkey, I recall how noble this man was. .

My experience in Turkey is that maybe people don't always speak 100% grammatically correct English, but (maybe because of the many different sounds in Turkish) their accent is usually 100 times better (and so easier to understand) than most Europeans who try to speak English (especially from the Latin and Slavic countries).
A fair number of misconceptions people have about turkey are mostly based on the religion that the majority of Turkey's population believes in. I'm glad that you attempted to prevent this misleading view that people have of Turkey.
I start to work for a Turkish company located in Konya. I am getting more and more confident with my colleagues and I would LOVE to speak Turkish with them. Let’s see …. I start to follow your channel to be updated and maybe to learn a decent Turkish. Anyhow thanks a lot for your lovely videos
I don't know other cities that much. But in İstanbul there are about 20 sinagogues. Furthermore in Kuzguncuk which is a district in Üsküdar Town you can see a mosque, a church and a sinogogue side by side. You can hear no Muslim call to prayer in any western country if you are outside the mosque. But you can hear church bells as well as ezan (Muslim call to prayer) in Turkey. Everybody is free to perform his/her own belief. Turkey has many wonders to find out. Never mind the myths, come and see for yourself
Don’t waste your breath talking about politics in the US either. We’re very similarly situated to Turkey in that regard. I watched a Turkish series in january, started studying turkish in february, spent two weeks in turkey in september, and now i’m just waiting to return. Turkey is a beautiful country, the food is FANTASTIC, the people i interacted with were lovely, and surprised that i could say anything in turkish (although my grammar was DEFİNİTELY not perfect) and i loved being there. I would recommend it as a vacation destination to any and everyone - although taking a bit of interest in the language and culture made it 100% better for me. People would say in English “welcome” and i would stubbornly respond “HOŞ BULDUM” 😆
I'm South African and have fallen in love with the Turkish culture. I'm learning to speak Turkish and hope to visit there one day. Whenever I serve a meal or see someone with food, I tell them "afiyet olsun"; my teenage son responds with "teşekkür ederim" Baby steps 😅
Resat, an idea to clear people´s confusion with Turks and Arabs: You could make a short video about the origins of Turks and Turkic languages. I guess most people don´t know that they originated in the Altai region and that most of your linguistic (and ethnic) relatives live in Central-Asia. Such information would also add a lot to your channel and to people´s knowledge, I think. I personally am always interested in the history and the background of cultures.
As a Turkish citizen, I would like to thank you Resat, I think you explained each misconception very well. But I think Turkish people have ability to speak English but we only studied English grammar when I was a student. I think this was the biggest problem.

Thank you for this information about turkey. I had this misconceptions for over a year that give me hesitation to visit turkey. From what you’ve mentioned, turkey gives me impression like the Philippines they are democratic but turkey is more modernize than the Philippines. Same as here in the Philippines don’t bring up in a conversation about politics it will end up to nothing.

Hi, thank you for the information. About speaking English, I was at Istanbul Airport about a week ago and the guys at the passport check couldn't speak English and I was asked if I could speak Turkish. I can speak Turkish very little so there was a big problem for me.
Agree with most of these. Some comments 1. The ramadan thing: Most of the population is Muslim and observe ramadan, so as a foreigner it would be good to be respectful of that if you do find yourself in Turkey in the month. Not saying you should starve in case you offend someone, just not eat publicly in areas where you dont see people eating around you, and choose more touristy areas to do so, or privately in your rooms. 2. Regarding polygamy legally it may not be allowed but the incidence has increased with the influx of refugees. Lots of refugee women become additional wives to turkish men in marriages not officiated by law but in mosques. In most cases this is exploitative of vulnerable women who dont have anyone to support them and authorities kinda look the other way and let it go on. Its a very specific issue in countries hosting refugees or illegal migrants. 3. English proficiency is good in touristy areas so you will be fine visiting as a tourist, but if planning to migrate and live in Turkey then learning the language would be needed since you would be dealing with daily life situations in residential areas. 4. Differentiating yourself from Arabs is not being hateful to Arabs its just being factual. Like An Italian wouldnt want to called French just because they are white, their ethnicities and historical origins are different. Thanks for the video!!
Well, although we Italians have a sort of love/hate relationship with our French cousins, at least we have common Latin ancestry and linguistic roots. Turks and Arabs are simply not related, more like Italians and Hungarians.
@@stefano_etrusco the closest root for Turks is Hungarians with their kypchak roots, I telll you as a Philolog. Our language forms are mostly the same also with many old loan vocabulary. Both are agglitinative languages from Uraic Altaic families. Also believe me Arabs have more bounds with Italians and Spaniards more than Turks loves👋
@@mistalion1 My example was not casual, just for that reason :) Anyhow, Arabs did have an important role in Spanish history. In Italy, not that much. They ruled Sicily for about a century, then the Normans chased them away in the 11th century, that’s about all. Basically Southern Italy is more like Romanized Greece, while Northern Italy is more like Romanized Celts/Gauls or Etruscans.
@@stefano_etrusco I agree with and I actually didnt mean to be mean to answer your comment. of course I love all culters Italian ,Arabic, Spanish, Greek, Tukish or whatever. I just wanted to stand prejudices or misconceptions with the real aspects
Very interesting and well-explained video! I’m traveling next week to Istambul and it is during Ramadan so you relief me! By the way, any recomendations on Istambul, appart from the well-known touristic places?
I enjoyed this video so much as well as all your language learning videos as I'm loving learning the Turkish language. I love learning about the culture, too. My question is that I've heard that it's dangerous to travel in Turkey. Is this true? My dream is to visit Turkey. Thank you so much!!
Turks hate when people think Turkey is an Arabic country. It's really the same for some other countries like Iran. Because my mother is from İran a lot of my friends ask me if I can speak Arabic or not. I hate that question. It's so tragedic that 90% of Turkish people don't know the mother language is Persian in their neighbor country.

Hi Resat I really like your videos but sorry let's clarify a very huge misconception about Istanbul, saying is the only city in the world located between 2 continents. I'm Italian and I lived several months in Atyrau, Kazakhstan and I'm telling you is indeed a city located exactly between Europe and Asia, divided by Ural river, matter fact. Keep up with the good job and take care
Most of the people around the world think that Iran is an Arabic country too! And most of them think that we speak in Arabic.but we speak Farsi(persion)
2:00 In fact, Turkey is no longer a country that is 98% Muslim. This rate has dropped to around 85%. In addition, although there are mosques everywhere, only 20% of Muslims practice their religion. In fact, the understanding of Islam in Turkey is quite different compared to other countries. Turks live their lives like deists and even many of them have a philosophical worldview in this direction, but they call themselves Muslims. If you come to Turkey, do not be surprised if you encounter many people who drink alcohol, do not fast, do not pray or do not believe in the commandments of Islam.

Hi Reşat, I came across your channel and this video which I believe is interesting. Just to clarify a misconception about Egypt in your video as you referred to Egypt as an example when you were talking about the “camels misconception” stating that Turkey is not like you’re in Egypt where you can find camels everywhere which a common and wrong misconception about Egypt. Actually there are no camels in Egypt and you will never find camels while walking in the streets. You can see only see camels in touristic areas and maybe only in the Pyramids where you can ride a camel for a trip. Just clarifying a misconception that a lot of people have about Egypt. Also, another comment which I believe is irrelevant to Egypt on the misconception that women are forced to wear hijab in Arab countries and do not have any rights which is totally not true. Women are not forced to wear hijab and have rights similar to those given to men (except for common discrimination that you talked about in your video). I am not speaking in the name of Arabs or defending any point of view as I am Egyptian and we, Egyptians, do not consider ourselves Arabs although a lot of people believes so for political reasons…etc. just clarifying.
You had/have a lot of jews in Turkey , now mainly in Istanbul and Izmir, minute 2'41" is the great sinagoge of Edirne recently restored. You have at least 3 sinagogs in Galata, 2 in Balat, also in Ortaköy, 2 in Kadiköy... In 1930's 5% of istanbul population was sefardic jew, and some of them speaks still old spanish.

For example Arab people may approach learning Turkish in a deferent way compared to English native speakers and so on, I would like to see a video about that

When I went to Turkey (2007 and 2009) I spoke English, I made a BIG effort in Turkish and it was appreciated and learned while I was there as well. I also spoke Spanish with a Sefardi (🤮) , Italian with a Kurdish vendor. He spoke 7 languages. I remember muh Murican friends mocked "Turkey ", being oblivious of how steeped in civilization Anatolia is. Istanbul is the gateway between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. An expanse of civilizations from Lisbon, to Barcelona, to Roma,Athens to the Caucasus and Iran, which includes the Caspian Sea. I just loved it. Reshat. Hablemos en español hombre. "I WANNA TALK TO THE PROFESSOR ESE !" 🤣🤣🤣
OKAY, I'm going to be a bit controversial now (not disrespectful, just to clarify!): 1. We've been in Turkey a few years ago and got into a bit of a situation with a flight cancellation and booking because no official staff in the international airport could easily understand enough English to help us; we ran around for 30 min and managed to find another passenger who knew both Turkish and English to help us solve the issue. But then, it was several years ago, I assume by now some sort of English requirement is in place for staff. 2. He's correct about Turkey not having any desert; the definition of a desert is a place with less than 250mm rainfall; the closest experience to a desert is near Konya with 300mm precipitation annually. 3. I think somewhere in the video he said that 90% of the population of Turkey live in cities: not correct; the actual stat is 65% or slightly more. Most places are semi-rural/ semi-urban by the standards of many populated countries. However, the rural areas are hands-down the absolute best places to visit; nature is ridiculously beautiful and people are so hospitable and welcoming. 4. Umm, the most controversial one: polygamy is not legal in Turkey (it's not officially recognised), but after the influx of Syrian refugees, an estimate of 5000 to 10,000 Turkish men married to Syrian refugee women as their second wives!! ironically, many of these men are not even strictly religious! These women are often in bad financial situations and their marriages are not recognised officially in Turkey so it means they are at the mercy of these men. That said, if you can only afford to go to one country before you die, it should DEFINITELY be Turkey. Can't wait to go there again after this whole pandemic mess we are all in.
1. It could be correct. I cannot comment about that. It's your experience. 2. This one is not controversial. 3. He didn't say that 90% of people lives in cities. The 90% thing is the modern parts of Turkey. Villages can be modern too. 4. Polygamy is not legal in Turkey as Resh said. End of discussion. The fact that there are men who marry more than one woman is not an evidence for legal polygamy, actually, as you said. Those kind of marriages are not legal. Those people are not married by law. They are doing religious wedding which is not recognized by government. I don't know how many different ways I can say it. Actually before Syrian move, I did not hear any men marry twice as you pointed out. So it's not Turkish culture. Turkey Republic's population is 80 million. You're saying 5-10 thousand men married twice or more. So that's not a culture obviously, at least for Turks. I don't know where did you get the stats, but please give us the stats that how many Turkish woman accepts polygamous marriage. You cannot say It's legal in Turkey for the thing is done by less than 0.1 percent of the society, especially when it's not recognized by the government. This increase in multiple religious marriages after Syrian immigration and its reasons are whole different issue.
@@duyguisik1586 Good to hear your points, but please do read my comment again; I have NOT mentioned anywhere in my comment that polygamy is legal. Your argument is based on this misreading that I have said it is legal, e.g., you said ("You cannot say It's legal in Turkey for the thing is done by less than 0.1 percent of the society, .."), while anyone who can read my comments carefully will notice that, clearly, I have mentioned several times that I know it is not legal. I understand this is a sensitive topic but we need to be unbiased when arguing against someone's comment. My point on the discussion was, even though it is not legal, there are cases; so it does exist. The fact that there are relatively few people who engage in this act, does not in and of itself mean that it is insignificant. This is because the rights of those women are not recognised, so such men should either refrain from marrying those women when they know their country does not recognise the legal status of such women or at least get married to them in another country where their marriages are recognised; this way at least WOMEN do not get exploited. This is an argument for women, not against them. You also said: ("So it's not Turkish culture. ") while I did not say it is a Turkish culture, anywhere in my comment. But remember that, 'culture' is a relative and subjective term rather than an absolute one. So even if some ethnic-and linguistic-Turks in a small region would like to self-identify themselves as being 'culturally polygamous', you and I cannot prove or disprove it here. Therefore, while I know and understand that it is NOT a cultural phenomenon at large-scale, for those men (and women) it could be their norm or culture. You also get agitated at my comment by saying: ("I don't know how many different ways I can say it. "). No need to say it many times and no need for being so defensive. My comment is NOT an attack on you, Turks, Turkish culture, or even Turkey as a country. We are discussing issues here. In fact, in my comment, I have recommended everyone to go to Turkey at least once before they die and have commented about people's hospitality. You may check the multiple reports by Hürriyet, euractive, the Guardian, etc. In fact, Al-Monitor reports that 187,000 women in Turkey are co-wives. They also interviewed a modern woman in Istanbul with an MBA university degree that allowed her husband to get married again because she did not like the idea of having a child. She has stayed in the family and she is OK with it. There is another interview with a yoga and dance instructor who was happy to be a co-wife. I am not here to discuss whether it is good or bad, just to mention that, it exists. Turkey is a large country.
@@duyguisik1586 I kinda agree w/ what you say but to be honest arrangment of religious mariages with Syrian women even around central & central western Anatolia is becoming a problem you can even see many victims(!) Scammed by Syrian women on Tv lol. Having young girls as second -illegal- wives for a few thousand dolar can be seen in rural parts of the cities like Kütahya for example. Im not even gonna mention about the cities neighbouring Syria. But one thing I need to clarify about the 1st comment is ; although not all ppl who have multiple wives are religious what justifies them as so called marriage is religion itself as they are basically "getting married" before an imam.
@@zepzupp Not only that but in general young refugee women are being forced to arrange marriages by their own families. I've seen a 15 year old syrian child married to a 30 year old syrian man and she had 3 children, can you believe that? And they were married illegally since it's not legal to get married before the age of 18 according to Turkish common law but I learned that it is legal in syria. Unfortunately, this is their culture and it's a serious problem.
