Mağazadaki görevlilerin sürekli mağaza içinde bir gölge gibi müşteriyi takip etmelerinden biz de rahatsızız yalnız değilsin bu durum bizim için de hala GARİP 😀
Bir de genelde daha küçük mağazalarda olur bu takip meselesi nedeni belli bir şey çalınmasın diye ama fazla abartılı bence de
@mc y hahaha bir de aradığın zaman asla bulamazsın o kadar doğru ki resmen kayboluverirler
işte komisyon diye bişey olduğu için öyle dolaşıyolar
@mc y hangi mağaza mı? Maviye gir bir kere resmen hirsizlik yapacakmişiz gibi ayrilmiyorlar dibimizden
Ben de korkumdan bazı yerlere giremiyorum, bazı tezgahlara bakamıyorum. Özellikle küçük olan yerlere giremiyorum.
most of the people have nicknames in turkey. i had a friend called "flying mehmet" because he jumped from a balcony when he was a child.
which mehmet fılağyin mehmet
😂😂 that's funny
Pokemon mehmet wgshd
Hangi mehmet
Uçan mehmet😂😂😂
okulda benim takma ismim "apostrof Denis". çok garip bir hikayesi var hiç sorma😅
if we have 4 mehmet in our classroom, we can easily know them as "short mehmet" "tall mehmet" "fat mehmet" or "black mehmet" :D when you ask which mehmet? then we say nickname which we made :D
For me wr have 2 azras in our class
So the Azra that has been in the classroom for the longest gets to keep her name and the azra that has been in the classroom shorter gets called by her lastname of her full name
in turkey we prefer to say their surnames
How can Mehmet be long?
@@oghuz03 perhaps long = tall ; big = fat

I am from Germany and have been in the US several times. I always thought, waiters are rude there because they immediately brought the check after we had finished the last bite :D Even though we do not sit in coffee shops as long as Turkish people, in Germany we take our time and don‘t rush. I like the relaxed Turkish way very much! Also having just two names is very common in Germany. People who have a middle name often do not tell you about it because usually it is very old-fashioned „funny“ as they are named after their grandparents.
Thanks for supporting .
danke schön! and sometimes i have talked about germany or german people with my friends and finally someone just said one sentence and conversation is over :
"Dünya almanın daşşağını yesin abi"
Most honorable sentence for germany (at least for us)
Its not to be rude that they bring the check automatically because if they don't its considered Annoying . Most Americans want to leave right after the last bite and hate having to wait forever for the check . Unless there with family they haven't seen in awhile but even then its short conversation there's is done at home or we do our talking as we eat so that by the end of the meal we can just get up and leave. But like any place there are those few that are rude.
Before she even said it, I just knew she was going to say "yılmaz" as a common last name and I'm not even Turkish 😂
The word "meyhane" can be translated into "Alcohol House" Btw, the following shop assistants are annoying to us too. :D

You have to use "for" before a noun or pronoun. In English we use "to" before the verb. I hope this information helps you to understand
I just returned from a 2 week visit in Turkey andI experienced some of the examples you described. I enjoyed my stay and I didn’t want to leave.
I am glad that you liked Turkey. I live in the USA for a while and many people think we are riding camel or donkey in Turkey lol. They don't know how beautiful Turkey is.
Necdet Yurtseven What? are you lying? because everyone knows that no one rides donkeys, donkeys were always used as animals that carry things. camels okay, but that’s not a bad thing, it doesn’t make you ugly if you ride camels

I feel like the café culture of staying for hours is very common throughout Europe and the UK.
No its not that common, been all over Europe. You would think that in Italy, people would take their time in cafes. No, they drink their espressos in UNDER 2 MINUTES - standing, not even sitting, and leave!
And people sit or study, usually alone in Starbucks` across Europe, but its not like in Turkey. We sit and chat like there is no tomorrow! This is why I love my Turkish culture lol.
İn my city in Bitola we have this culture like sitting in for hours but in the other citys this is not a case
It's also very common in the Middle East and a lot of african and Asian countries. American people always describe what is not "American" as shocking as if America is the only normal culture in the world.
@@Demetttttt Same with Sweden. Cafés are so damn expensive here so whenever I decide to actually go to a café I make sure I have a friend and some catching up to do and we make the most out of it.
Another tea and another tea more tea... much more tea
And pee immediately
Yeahh, the Turkish lifestyle. I can't live if I don't drink 20 glasses of tea a day.
çok komikti ya :D
You can just say"I am just looking" and they will disapper 😁
1. I think that's because employers want to have less workers.
2. I hate stalker shop assistants but that's their job. Employers say '' Follow customers and help them, that's your job.''. I thank them politely and start to look around by myself.
3. That goes back to Ottoman era(it may go farther but as i know it is at least an Ottoman thing). Istanbul has always been hosting a large population in Mediterranean region and back then in Ottoman era people had time but nothing to do. Sit and talk culture started to develop. Kıraathane (kıraat= reading in Arabic and hane=house in Persian), meyhane(mey=alcohol in Arabic and hane=house in Persian) etc. taked shape.
4. In Europe people have names that describe where they are from or which family they belong to etc. (for centruies). That shaped the culture of having surnames, middle names, family names etc. In Ottoman era rulers thought parting families and tribes will eliminate the possibility of them to revolt. Before 1934(Surname law) Turks didn't even have surnames.

Spending hours in cafes ( kahve ) is a middle east tradition due to hot weather. You know cafe comes from coffee .And coffee culture is kind of socializing. Drinking coffee is deemed as a means of talking, socializing in this region. I mean drinking coffee is not first goal in the cafes but socializing...

Last names alone are fairly recent to Turkey (Soyadi Kanunu, 1934). My Turkish gf's great-grandmother literally chose Gülpinar for them. So not having middle names makes sense and honestly may evolve into their culture in the future for further differentiation.
Shop assistants are usually instructed to "Attend to customers" by their supreriors,in Turkey. That's thevmain reason

As a Canadian, I was really surprised by # 4. Honestly, I never realized that Americans could give a lot of importance to middle names. This is something I would expect more from someone who is Brazilian or Spanish... Here (in Quebec) we may have middle names on our birth certificates, but we spend the most part of our lives just ignoring them. I can't think of a single time someone asked me what my middle name was, even though I do have one. It seems to be an old tradition that is fading, at least where I live... And if we have more than one person with the same first name, from my experience, we can always include the use of the last name or even nicknames...
Would you try to speak only Turkish in a video?

It's a weird tradition some villages in Turkey for example %60 population of males have the same first and last name in that villages, for example if baby born in "Arife Günü" that means "Arife Day" its a day before religious holiday they name the baby Arif. Because of that most people have a nick name in that villages.
Here is a funny story, in Ordu/Perşembe/Yazlık village everyone have a same last name, one day a person died called Lütfiye Sarı and the muhtar (headman of the neighborhood) send declaration of death papers to registry office, in same time city hospital do it the same thing. So there is a another Lütfiye Sarı in the village, so she accidentally was recorded dead. Some day her sons while editing some documents in the registry office they said your mother is dead, so they go the court with muhtar because of that and after judge see her she is alive they fix the thing.
In that villages so many funny and cruel nick names they got, one day i met with 74 years old men called "Pilli Hasan" that means "Battery-operated
Hasan" because he had pacemaker surgery.
Bu Sadece İzmir de değil her yerde böyledir.
Türkler iş okul gibi şeyler yüzünden sohbet edecek zaman bulamazlar bu yüzden böyle bir alışkanlığımız vardır.

yesss.. shopping assistant.. that’s my culture shock too.. they follow u around the store wherever yiu go
no, I live in Turkey and it is not true.
Oh, not everywhere, but in most places, i'm afraid so. - Is there anything I can help? +no thanks - This color will suit you very much, try it , this is for you. +Ok, I give up.
me and my 4 names watching the last part of this video : oh ok
lovelyjun lmaoo
For your first cultural shock, I can say, I am still having hard time juggling with bags, money, cards, etc. It is really stressful
For the second one, I do not experience it much but they say that it's very common.
For the third one, I've grown up in İzmir and it is soooo different, so much slower there. Now, I am in İstanbul and you can not sit here for hours, at least you have to consider busy hours of traffic :(
And lastly, I have two names, too :)) I have always wanted a middle name, though.
Awe I definitely had the get used to a lot of things here!🏡🇹🇷 I also hate it when they follow me around the shop😂 For me it was time here, in Holland everyone is always too early, and here ALWAYS too late hahaha!😂
@@MyPrettyEverything As a Turkish living in Los Angeles, I make sure that I fly through Schiphol and spend few days there when I`m going to Turkey, even though it`s too touristy and kinda expensive in Amsterdam. I really adore the Dutch way of life - no I am not talking about cannabis and other stuff in Amsterdam lol. But you guys are so liberals, and can maintain a uniquely healthy village-style life, kinda hard to explain. Architecture is something I can look at all day in Holland, we don`t have such little adorable houses in U.S, and Turkey, nothing like the charm of Holland exists in Turkey. Yes, Turkey has its charms too, of course. But If I were a Dutch, I would not move anywhere else in the world lol
I appreciate your insights as I may want to live in Turkey for a little while. For me, most of these things don't seem too shocking. Middle names, sitting down to tea for a while, grocery baggers, shopping assistants who follow you around - these all might be a little odd or even uncomfortable, but most of them are just different to me and not something I'd have difficulty adjusting to. Just my opinion.
*shop assistants annoys me too :))) but nowadays there are more shops that lets people shop around without an assistant. especially like in gratis, or some big clothing brands. I see that attitude more at local or smaller shops now. They think following people is a kind thing and it shows they are ready to help bla bla... I also find paying at grocery stressful. they want you to hurry but no one helps you like especially when I am tired or sick I just can't. and I am Turkish btw :)))*

A big shock for me when I was in Turkey were those bathrooms with just a hole in the ground and no actual toilet lol
yesss they are very shocking for most of the tourists :)))
Alaturka lol
squatting toilets :D for some reason some people still love them. I guess it's hard to give up habits for old people :D
@@home-uf3tg this is the first time i heard 'squatting toilet" looool thats so funny

I had the exact same situation as you mentioned in the video . In middle school we had 2 Fatih YILMAZ in the same class and everyone was calling us by our school numbers . :))
hahahahaha!
The friend who was sitting next to me in highschool had the same name and surname as mine so they made up nicknames for us lol
I like your comparison videos like that. The way your telling stories make me laugh. Pls keep going to capture more videos.
Me too!
wish your channel becoming bigger because i just found the channel randomly and watch your five videos even i should study my lessons😂(i have an exam tomorrow) then i decided to subscribe. you re so cute. always smiling and share your opinions objectively anyway just love it 😊
take care of yourself 🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
I am very wondering,what do you do for a living?
Stalker shop assistants!! Yes!!! This is why I never shop anywhere here. And Migros Online solves the grocery shopping checkout stress, the major reason I use it.
Sell out
Yea but migros online usually gives u the bad fruit and the old meat and stuff when u order
All the things you said you socked you in Turkey exist in Greece too😂😂we are very relaxed and yes we seat for coffee for hours,,, I work as a shop assistant and yes our companies said to us to follow the clients all the time😂😂 and yes it's stressful when you go in super market and must be quick with shopping and bags and pay😂😂 I remember when I go to America and see that the cashier put my shopping in bags I was shocked too😂😂😂 greetings from Greece dear Chelsey❤️
This is great.. I live in Istanbul and I am learning so much from you... thank you... What kind of job do you currently have?
Hugs :)
Advice: FIRST pay the things you bought THEN pack them. It will be more easy, most people do it that way. When you pack your things cashier can scan the next customer's things.
I just discovered your Elizabeth blog page. I think the videos you made are very nice. I've been watching your videos since yesterday. Because I am trying to learn your language. I was very happy to understand their speech ...
I had been in a few countries and do have exactly the same stress at the cashier's desk in Istanbul especially when there are a lot of people following and staring me at the queue!
Farshid Db gosh i can't even take my walket out of my bag without getting stresses
as a turkish living in istanbul its SO frustrating for me too!! i couldn't get used to it in 18 years and i dont think i ever will
Before proceeding to the desk, I prepare a plan to pack the pack the stuff most efficiently lol
Chelsea believe me the second one is also disturbing us :D
In Turkey also, especially in sports they alsways use first names to call someone instead of their last names... for example in usa, sports commentators will call you Elizabeth while in Turkey they will call your first name Chelsea
in Turkey, people always use first names. Not just in sports.
Chelsea, what's the best way to send you questions? I'm thinking of moving to Turkey. Lived there before for a year - military, so experience was slightly different.
"mey" means in old Turkish alcohol or rakı or wine... and "hane" is means kinda house.. so basicly you can say "meyhane" is a drinking house which is %99 is rakı ofc. and also with tons of mezes or seafood.. and when you go to meyhane that means you'll be there at least 3-4 hours.. cuz u'll be eat,drink.. somtimes with some live classic Trukish music it can be more than that.. so cheers! (rakı balık ayvalık .PP ) Its all about drinking and cusine difference..
you are talkative a person, this is really great 😁
A little stress is good Chelsea. It makes you smarter, clever and more flexible to observe the environment.
We love watching you Chelsea ❤️
I love you...💕🥰
where did this happen? in Izmir or somewhere? Coz, I have never experienced such worker following me while shopping in Istanbul. That could happen maybe in small cities like Izmir. If somebody would follows me like that, I would leave off there right away.

- You start bagging the groceries as they come
- When its time to pay, you pay, get ur receipt, change and whatnot
- Continue bagging as the next person's groceries start coming through. It's pretty simple.
Shop assistants stalk people because they are -very aggressively- pushed to make sales.
We live slow in İzmir, I do also get bored sometimes but thats more about the quality of the conversation than the actual time spent at one place.
I hate everything about meyhanes.
I honestly dont think there are enough occasions in life to warrant the need for a middle name, mine got handy in high school however, as there were 4 Ahmets and 2 Buraks and one person was named Ahmet Burak (sets, anyone?).
In nyc i know a lot of people sit in coffee shop hours, some of them almost all day. But there are much more grab and go. Meyhane is almost the same thing with pub or bar culture with food service, people in usa stay in bars long time too. Spanish people in usa have at least 4 names. As turkish immigrant who lives in usa, i dont really find much diffrences between us. I like your videos, keep posting pls.
I am laughing too much at your videos especially your ways of telling stories lol
Actually, most people do have middle names (göbek adı) in Turkey , it's just they did not put it in their id's (nüfus)

Hey Chelsea, I'm a Turkish, Istanbul local, firstly they have helpers for grossery shops generally everywhere in Turkey maybe you 've never come across one of them or maybe the owner fired them because of economical difficulties.
Shop assistants take bonuses for every item they sell in most of the shops or their boss tells them to follow the customers all the time.
Turkish people loves talking, chatting to each other because we have real friends, it's not like America; you make a conversation or drink a shot of espresso and move on. And we don't have the personal space "concept". We have Meditarrenean blood like Spain, Italy and Greece we are very similar. Also we have a lot of unemployed people youngsters and women mostly. People have no "do sports" or "travel" ideals in general. That is why they sit for hours in the same place and drink çay :)
Meyhane: Tavern or us Turkish people we also say Taverna
The way world use middle names today originated in the Middle Ages when Europeans couldn't decide between giving their child a family name or the name of a saint. They eventually settled on naming their children with the given name first, baptismal name second, and surname third. That is why Turkish Muslims do not have middle names.
Take care Chelsea! :)
Well, why bother with a second name when you have one :D

Hi Chelsea after that time i wanna translate your videos. I already translated this video a bit. I will complete it later. Btw I'm living in İzmir too :)
Bagging groceries yesssss!! I have experience it, i was doing grocery then paying in cashier and the cashier was just walked away after she did her job, i was hoping that she could help me bc my hand was full. 😅😅. I thought she was rude 🙈
"there was noone to bag your groceries" :D what a shock! hahahha
Ahmet Doğanay Lol they hire baggers at my grocery store. I grew up with it, i wouldn’t know how to bag my own groceries. Atleast when I go to Turkey, I’ll be prepared so it won’t be awkward lol
Experiencing the stalker shop assistance was the weirdest for me 😂😂😂
Thank You !
Dear Chelsea, also consider accepting English subtitles we had submitted:
1. It helps subtitle translators: TH-cam has an _autotranslate feature_ which makes it very easy to translate subtitles, see this image as an example: ibb.co/bX0SQKC (image shows how it works on another channel). This feature will not work unless u accept our English subtitle submission.
2. TH-cam's sound recognition algorithm works like a charm, it only makes basic mistakes when it comes to English, we only proofread those English subtitles, and correct Turkish words (such as "Yılmaz")
3. Many advanced English learners only need English subtitles.
I call only their last name when there are two of my friends with the same name together

I think it changes. For example if shop is so crowded and assistants help other customers, I can chill around and look for anything I like comfortably. However I totally agree with the tea issues:D
😊 I also like to shop alone. As a man, its easier - I just have to say “I’m just looking around” (sadece bakınıyorum). As a woman its much more difficult and my wife often fights with them to be left alone 😊 I think its mainly due to the fact that most of them receive a commission from the things you are buying - they probably ask the cashier to write their code on your purchases. Cheers!
same dude. If they receive a commission, there is no way to get rid of them besides fighting. low salary + commission system = shadow assistants
Number 3
To me its because i'm playing some board games with my friends (like chess, backgammon etc.) That's why we sitting long. Or sometimes we talk about our lifes.
These are my reasons for sitting for hours at cafe
Merhaba , I play backgammon and am curious about tavli in Turkey. Can you play in meyhanes or just coffee shops? Also do you have to bet money or is it just for fun? Backgammon is not popular in USA with young people, is it popular in Turkey? I plan to visit when my Turkish is better. Tesekkurler
Dear Chelsea, my experience with shop assistants is the opposite. In most large stores, especially during busy hours, we cannot find anyone to help us. They are all busy rearranging the shelves and the customers are on their own to find the correct size or color.
In some shops, let's say the upper 20% that sell more expensive goods, it is exactly as you describe. They are obviously receiving a commission on sales that they have helped. (Not sales in general) I agree it's a very bad idea.
You are soooo right. İ can't stand to this. And i love uuu
Sitting in a cafe more than a hour makes me the same. l like to watch your videos
I have had my own culture shock with US shop assistants (and waiters etc.); many of them are too friendly. The first time one of them greeted me with a big, warm smile and said "How are you doıng today?", I was sure that I was mistaken for someone else. Turkish shop assistants act in a cordial manner unless you are someone they know.
Can someone explain what is the middle name used for?
I think the middle name is just a tradition. In my family we often use middle names to honor other family members like aunts or uncles or moms/dads. My middle name is Marie just because I guess my dad chose my first name and mom chose my middle name. The only other reason I can think of is to distinguish people with common first and last names.
In the US it is often times useless and just there because the parents like the name. Other times it can be used if several people have the same name; however, most of the time pepple use nicknames. In Mexico however, some people with very common names Maria, Jose ECT. Will use their middle name as if it were their first name. For many years I though my friend's name was Guadalupe. It turned out to be Beatrice Guadalupe 😂
They have to follow you around the store because the manager is usually watching them.Turkish people don't like this either but it's a part of their job.
Ugh I hate the shop assistants. It makes me want to leave the store.
Where do you live in turkey

I'm not Turkish but that last thing about having multiple people with the same name in a class made me think of my grade 10 class. There were 16 of us, and out of those 16, there was one other girl named Koreena (Same name as me, just spelled differently), as well as two Chads, two Kyles, and two Denises. We usually called the Chads and the Kyles by their last names, and we girls were called by our first name and last initial.
Sesin huzur verici 😊
Shop assistants follow you around because in most stores they earn extra for the sales they make. They want to put their employee code on the price tag when you decide to buy something so that it's recorded as a sale they made, that's why they are following you around.
We also have shop assistants following you around in Pakistan. It was a bit weird at first, but then you eventually get used to it and, they're really helpful.
Here in Brazil rich supermarkets bag for you and take to your car, but normal supermarkets the cashier guy helps you bagging 1 or 2 but you have to bag the rest, and when it shows the price to pay, u need to stop bagging and pay, and then back to bag and if u are having trouble bagging he helps you more and more. Thats the correct timing i guess, even for me that i m used to since i was born, but i get stressed too
There are baggers in grocery stores in Istanbul. However, they tend to be seen in fancy supermarkets like Macro or Migros in a nice neighbourhood.
Middle names might not be popular in Turkey.
But keep in mind the traditionally very popular concept of lakap in Turkish. That takes care of the issue of having the same first names.
What's the music in background?
wonderful sharing
A couple of weeks ago me and a friend of mine were in a meyhane, we sat at around 15:00 till 00:30 the other day 😂
Oh no, we don`t wanna see Billie Bobs, Mary Janes and Buck Hunters strolling around Kordon! :P
You are doing great Chelsea! You will have much more opportunities if you improve your Turkish. You are already proficient but I suggest you speak Turkish aloud while you are alone at home. Hearing yourself will make you comfortable with the language. Cheers.
Altyazı gelecek mi acaba?

What is the use of a middle name?
In big stores no enough assistant for each customer lol 😅😅 Actually it comes from a fallacious tradition like " Customer expects intimate approach".. Yes, it's annoying..
