Woww!

I think FG is really unaware of how much she means to Kerim. She has heard him say it multiple times but I think she hasnt taken it all much seriously. Kerim smiled for the first time when he heard about Turaner's letter. He was in a terrible mood since he had read Enise's letter but that one news that something was going right for FG & he was all smiles...till ofc Rehmi blurted out the whole truth. I think FG should have told it to him. She had plenty of chances to do it. As soon as he was home at night, after he was done talking about meeting with Fahrettin, when he was in her room...he might have taken the news about Mustafa informing her a lot better if it had come from her. The very fact that she didnt bother telling him about the case hurts me even as a viewer, so I can imagine why it would matter so much to him Knowing about the baap beta case progression is important yes...but for FG. For Kerim, who should be her main concern atm, her case is more important.

And then what was she even thinking talking to Mustafa when Kerim was present & looking daggers at her? Was it really so important to talk to Mustafa then? Like she said herself anything about the case, Kadir will tell her. And since Mustafa is such a gentleman he will call back...if not you can call him once Kerim leaves. Was that the time to be assert her right to talk to anyone she wishes?😕 He waited & waited & waited for her to finish that call quickly & she kept talking?🤢 WHY? Also Mustafa wasnt really sharing earth shattering information that OMG I was so shocked to hear what he had to say that I forgot about Kerim.

And chalo she doesnt know how to comfort him. Asking his mother for tips would be a great option if you ask me🤔 But anyways at least you know what hurts him...so how about NOT doing that??? Like talking to that scum Mustafa😵 Even Mehmet must have guessed by now that Kerim doesnt like Mustafa then why cant FG? Humour him a little...pati hi toh hai...not some stranger...😕 khudke individual rights baadmein assert kar lena🥱

Thank you everyone for welcoming me so friendly. Bahut bahut shukriya (hope it's correct) :D

As I said before, if you have got any questions regarding to Turkey/turkish culture/words or sentences you can ask me.

Like some of you mentioned, Turkey is a country which is a mixture of Europe and Asia. That's mainly due to its geographical location and history. Wearing white wedding gowns for example is something that Turkey has adapted from Europe over the years. Before around 50 years white wedding gowns were not worn in wedding ceremonies. Instead women wore dresses called "entari". But nowadays women wear white wedding gowns. Such things show the influence of Europe regarding to turkish culture. But Turkey still has asian influences as well. Turkish people celebrate mehndi (Kina in turkish) during marriage as well as indian people do for example. It's very important for a woman to celebrate Kina festival. The kina (mehndi) symbolizes that she becomes a true woman now. It's also typical that the bride cries at the Kina ceremony. An other typical turkish wedding tradition is that the bride wears a red ribbon around her belly. This symbolizes her virginity. So turkish woman always wear a red ribbon at their wedding ceremony.

Oh, there are so many more things :D

During the wedding ceremony there are people, who play "Davul" and "Zurna", while the bride leaves her home for the last time. Davul is like a drum and Zurna like a clarion. You can google them to see what I mean. A typical turkish instrument is the "saz". Many of our folk songs (or basically all) are played with a "saz".

In Fatmagul the song "evlerinin onu mersin" is also played with the saz. You have surely seen it :)

And a famous song at mehndi is "Kinayi getir aney" (English translation would be "Bring the mehndi mom"). Also "yuksek yuksek tepelere" is very famous. But again the "u" is pronunced as the "u" from Engin Aky"u"rek. If you want to google it, then keep this in mind :)

Engin is not very good in English. He knows a little bit. And because of this weakness he even went to London in ordner to take a language course. I don't exactly know how far he has improved his English skills since then, but he definitely tries to improve his English because he knows that he has many fans around the world. He is someone, who always tries to get better. I really appreciate this about him. He is one of those actors, who totally concentrates on his work. Before every role, he learns something about the nature of his character. For his role as Omer Demir in Kara Para Ask he studied police officers for example because he played a police officer. I am sure he will do the same for his new role as doctor :)

And regarding to English I can say, that many people in Turkey are not good in speaking English. English is just taught in schools as a foreign language. But it is not seen as something very important. Only few people in Turkey are able to speak proper English (mostly people, who have studied). But the majority of turkish people do not know English. It's not part of our country. Especially elder people do not know anything about English. They would not be able to say a word. :)

So Engin is not the only one in Turkey, who has diffuculties with English. :D

Many people are like him. But I guess Engin is better now regarding his English. At least I hope so :)

Yeah, I guess that's the main reason. Indian people are very good in speaking English, as compared to turkish people :D

But as you have said. There are many european countries, which have difficulties as well.

But I think it's very useful to speak English because people from all over the world can easily communicate with each other. Like we do right now :D

I wish turkish people would improve their English skills. At least the future generations should become better in English.

By the way. Beren is better in English than Engin in real life :D

But in Fatmagul Kerim is better than Fatmagul. So it's totally the opposite :D

Turkish actors who are very good in English are Ilker Kaleli, Asli Enver, Farah Zeynep Abdullah for example :)

All of them lived in the UK for a while. That's the reason, why they are so good.
