Turks may be the only nationality I have encountered who make zero attempts to accommodate someone who doesn't speak their language. No slower speaking, no motioning, no reliance on shared Perso-Arabic loanwords, nothing. Just rapid-fire Turkish, even after it's clear I don't…

@sharghzadeh Many Turks speak multiple languages. Those from the Kurdish areas are functionally trilingual (Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic). A lot of them in Istanbul. Many Turks have worked in Germany or work in tourist industry. Erdogan’s inflation has crushed people’s pan-Islamic enthusiasm.

@sharghzadeh Just repeat it louder!

@sharghzadeh 😂

@sharghzadeh didn't you say you're azeri

@sharghzadeh i’m dying 🤣🤣🤣

@sharghzadeh Because they dont speak English. I know many Dutch people who also do this lol

@sharghzadeh and foreigners do this to turks in turkey, esp russians.
