Of course you will get along very well with English in Kaş. But people will certainly appreciate it if you know some Turkish idioms. Don`t worry about the pronunciation too much. There are just some minor things which need to be explained beforehand: "ş" is pronounced like "sh", e.g. Kaş is pronounced like "Kash". "ç" is pronounced like "ch" in "rich". "c" however ist pronounced like "j" in "journalism". "ğ" you don`t speak at all, just leave it out! So now you are well prepared for our little Turkish course: Here you go: yes ................................... evet no .................................... hayır please............................... lütfen you`re welcome ............... birşey değil thanks . ........................... sağol or teşekkür ederim Good Morning ................ Günaydin Good afternoon................ iyi günler Good evening .................. iyi akşamlar Good night ....................... iyi geceler Welcome ......................... Hoş geldiniz How are you? .................. Nasılsınız? (answer: iyiyim, sağol) Good bye ........................ Allaha Ismarladık (the one who`s staying says: güle güle!)
