Kebabcim


Words I know, I know in Turkish: 

Hello
Goodbye
Goodnight
Thank you
Yes (I can never remember how to say no but there is this thing that you can do with your lips to make a clicking noise—someone described it to me a clicking at a horse… apparently when I do it, it’s always perceived as provocative.  I need to try to remember to not wink while saying “no” with my lips…)
According to Americans
The American Embassy
Museum
Smoking
Prostitute (of course there is an inappropriate story behind this one…)
One
31 (it also means masturbation, don’t ask me why, I tried to figure one out)
Very cute
Very sexy (yup you know those Turkish men)
A little
Kebab
Black (I can’t remember any other color, so I’m very limited with what I can buy)
Okay
All the Turkish officials and names of newspapers in Turkey—does that count?



Okay here are a few sentences I can come up with so far with my Turkish:

According to American’s, smoking is very sexy.

Yes, Black Kebab.

Prostitution? A little…

Goodnight museum.  Hello American Embassy!
