Ever wanted to try those Turkish baths? Better still, to chat with the locals as you while away the hours in the steam? If only you knew to say 'saatler olsun!' - 'May it last for hours!' - the common expression Turks exchange after the baths, you might cross the first hurdle to conversation. (It's said to someone who has just emerged from a bath or shower, a shave or a hair cut, instead of the usual 'May it keep you healthy!') Try it, and many more, from this phrasebook, to take you into the culture, not just passing through it.
