Hey everyone! This is our last TRUTH or MYTH for a while - hope you liked seeing Turkey represented! 🇹🇷A culture that is truly fascinating, talented and hospitable. Tell me which part of the video surprised you or dispelled a stereotype you had?
Indonesians react to streotypes please🙏🙏🙏
Vietnamese, Thai, and Pinoy too
I would love to travel to Turkey!!! From a Dominican guy
Fuck off, racist piece of shit. Turkey will not be surrendered to the likes of you. NEVER
Fun fact (especially for Turkish people): Do you know who else watches Turkish soap operas? Bulgarian grandmas, for some reason, and is so funny because they discuss it so seriously, but they also admire how well Turkish actors do their acting.
Turkish soap operas are all over Latin America too. Dubbed in Spanish of course.
Bosnian grandmas and moms too! lol
Indonesian people (especially women) like Turkish soap operas too
My Polish grandma watched them too, and I was so surprised because she was so nationalistic 😂
Indonesian people really admire Turkey (especially Turkish soap opera)😂😀 we love Kirgin Cicekler, Elif, Capadochia, Blue Mosque, etc.
Great job everyone, especially my good friend Eray 👏 I personally find the Turkish society to be very diverse in terms of views and opinions. This is something that a lot of people don't realize and they tend to falsely view Turkey as a monolithic society.
My dear friend Bahador, thank you very much for introducing me to the Dating beyond borders family. It was so much fun to be part of this video. Hoping to catching up with you soon :)
@@MrErayguler Very happy to hear that :) The video turned out great. Well done! Definitely hope to get together soon and catch up. It's been a while!
I would add one more that Turkey is not just "Istanbul" and "nice beaches". The country has amazing nature and a lot of historical spots that go back to antiquity.
Yeah,but that history is mostly greek history :)
@@alex.profi27 antiquity doesn't only include Greek period my friend.

As an Indonesian, Turkish Soap Opera is huge here, in Indonesia. I remember, my whole family, many of my relatives, and my neighbors were watching Turkish Drama named Ellip. And because of its popularity, they made a special sequel/episode for Indonesian viewers. And Ellip won many awards in Indonesia 😄 oh I miss the old days
Woaw You guys watch them there too? Are they dubbed? This is so interesting to hear for me. I feel like Turkish dramas are the K-dramas but for older generations instead of teenagers/young adults :D
@@BelloWenN unfortunately it’s dubbed with indonesian voice, so most of us doesn’t really know what Turkish sounds like. Well actually there’s TONS of Turkish drama in Indonesia back then, but the most monumental and everyone’s favorite is of course Elif. Even Isabella, Emre, Selin, and Gulcin went to Indonesia for fan meeting and it super hilarious 😭❤️
OMG Loved those people, how beautiful, nice, and seems friendly Turkey people are,. They look like us Brazilians = D Cheers from Brazil
There are a lotnof brazilian people (and even football players) and they are very loved and they love the people and feel very home. Warm people ❤ warm people
I don't know why but generally (not all of them) South American people are really warm. In my childhood term there were Brazilian, Mexican Telenovelas in one channel. I and My mom were really addictive of these soap opereas

It’s funny that they say jealousy is a stereotype because all of them seem so laid back and chill lol. I would really like to visit Turkey someday, it seems cool, especially the food 🤤.
They are whole different irrelevant concepts for us. We are jealous when it comes to romantic relationships.
@@kemalkorkmaz2049 id say a lot of turkish men are pathologically jealous....i would know...i dated a turkish guy....i liked his jealousy and obsessiveness at times since im greek xD but when he started making stories out of his head and believing them i started thinking hes crazy.idk the lengths turks go to when they jealous but if they are anything like my ex id say they crazy. he was too damn dramatic and assuming things all the time and falsely blaming me. straight out toxic. we greeks get jealous too but in our culture we know when we crossing the red line, idk i felt like my ex had no limits to his jealousy and could self justify all his words thoughts and actions based on it.

This is a good project for combating of stereotypes because many exist. I am Indian and I am feeling blessed that I visited the beautiful country of Turkey and during my time everyone was so nice to me and very hospitable knowing I am Indian. Maybe somebody reading this and say "so what is the big deal?". Well I tell you because prior to my trip even though I am very open minded person I had been impacted by many negative comments who said Turkish people hate you because you say you are from India. But I went for myself and saw that is not true and it was very uplifting and nice. I just want to say to all Turkish people you are most welcome to visit India. We have a lot to offer for your visit. 🇹🇷❤️🇮🇳

I'm Turkish and I don't hate India
As a Turkish, I hear so many ridiculous things that I sometimes doubt that I am Turkish. I wonder if I live in the wrong country or do people know my country better than I do? We Turks are really having a nervous breakdown in these situations and we have big fights with foreigners. I hope the days will come when we don't explain ourselves by having a nervous breakdown and say "no, we don't do this, we are not such a country". Because this is one of the things that we Turks are in the most difficult situation abroad.
Well genetically you definitely aren't turkic as those people in the video aren't too
@@occihum9115 do you mean Turkic? Turkish is a nation.
@@Raidon8537 Yes! Turkish people don't have turkic origin despite the fact that they claim to do so
@@occihum9115 well sorry but that's just a propaganda. It's often coming from anti-Turk/Turkophobic people. Some Greeks, Armenians and even Kurds claim that, because I believe they just can't admit that Turks were once ruling them. There must be other reasons, too. However, DNA test proves that Turks of Anatolia indeed have Central Asian aka Turkestan heritage. It's true that mixing happens , but you forgot that during 11 century Anatolia was fully flooded by Turkmens. It's even written by Greek Historian of the time. By the way, do not expect Turks to look like Siberian Turks. Turks have been always diverse in history. Its early empires stretched all the way from Sea of Japan to Crimea, Ukraine.
@@blgram It were some tribes that conquered the locals, no-one "flooded" Asia Minor. Also it isn't anti-turkish it's pure history. People that used to be Greeks, Slavs, Albanians, Circassians, Laz, Alevi Anatolians, Armenians, Kurdish, Arabs and others have been islamised (by ottomans) and turkcified (by kemalists). No-one have turkish genes! Also, NO-ONE had turkish identity before Kemal! Unlike Balkan Nationalisms in which the Identity created the State (that was liberated from Ottomans), in Turkey happened the opposite! You identified as "ummah" before!
Happy Thursday Marina! I have came across a few Turkish people in my life and they have been nice people. Marina, sending my love from Miami, Florida ❤

Anatolia doesnt just have beaches and straits. Eastern Anatolia has nice mountains and the black sea coasts have lots of forests and it rains alot.
All I know from Turkey is Magnificent Century 😂😍
I looove the turkish kangal doggo! One of my favourites!
I really feel like my girlfriend is a Turk. I am still shy to ask what’s her nationality so I want to learn more about her culture or Turkey, in general. She’s also so fluent in speaking in English just like the guests here.
Why are you scared to ask bruh, if she is turk she would much rather you ask her properly.
I am more amazed by how you don’t know your girlfriend’s nationality bro like....????

Turkish culture is extremely fascinating ! I enjoyed watching this video immensely !
I agree with Canberk, soap operas definitely go on for 10 hours with commercials 😂😂
Turkish people are one of the friendliest people i've met, Love from Pakistan
I been to Turkey twice and I liked it a lot. I want to go there again I wish I could live there. Delicious food, Friendly and beautiful people The only thing bad about Turkey is that the salaries are low. Only 400 to 500 USD per month. It's cost of living is low though, transportation around Turkey is good and cheap too so you don't need a car though.
Turkey is brother country with Pakistan. We Pakistani are same as Turkey and we love the great Mr. Erdogan and we are awaiting him to bring Osmani Khalifah with few years time inshallah!

@@supermonk3y07 If you are earning dollars, Turkey is a really cheap country, but for those who earn Turkish lira, this is not the case. People work too long for low pay. Turkey is a really beautiful country, but the government is running very badly right now
@@lilinsulin I don't know how much the currency affects the country but several countries around the world have the USD, AUD (Australian Dollar) or British Pound Sterling as their currency and most of them are poor or not rolling in dough. Ecuador and El Salvador have the US dollar as their currency and NO They don't have good salaries. They have their own problems with corruption, poverty inequality etc. But yeah it's hard to say because recently I heard that the Lira went down. But don't think that adopting the USD or Euro will solve all of turkey's economic problems
If someone from the Middle East is in Brazil, we assume that this person is Turkish, but there is no real Turkish in Brazil. Lol Ancient history of visas.
They were from Ottoman empire when they migrate Sout America. So they held Ottoman Passport. Because of their Passports and Country, Sud-Americans considered them as a Turkish.
@@yagizefeozturk Ottoman Empire was not considered Turkish, it was more considered Persian and Arabic, the passports were also written in Arabic.
@@dariusbaluchi4890 Here are a few methods of determining the dominant nation in empires until the beginning of the 19th century (or even the 20th century). 1) To determine the nationality or language of the dynasty (Ottoman dynasty is a dynasty of Turkish origin) 2) To determine which is the official language used in administration. (Ottoman Turkish was the official language at that time. Yes, Ottoman Turkish was influenced by Arabic and Persian, but this does not change that it is a Turkish language) 3) To determine the language used by the ruling class (The language used in the Palace, Enderun (schools where the ruling class of the period was trained), Divan (the ministerial council of the period) was Ottoman Turkish) 4) To determine which is the dominant or common language in the capital. (In addition to the fact that a significant part of the population in Istanbul is Turkish, the language used by two different non-Turkish minorities to communicate with each other was again Turkish) These justifications are sufficient to prove that the Ottoman Empire was a Turkish state. But also many travelers visiting the Ottoman Empire used the words Turkey/Turcia even at that time. In addition, the language written in the passports was not Arabic, but Ottoman Turkish, which was written using the Arabic alphabet. In summary, although the Ottoman Empire was under a significant Arab-Persian influence and was home to a significant number of Arabs and other non-Turks, it could be counted as a Turkish state for such reasons and was accepted as a Turkish state at that time.
I heard this from a Brazilian friend and I was very surprised. But you think Arabs and even Armenians are Turks because they went there from the Ottoman Empire. but this is completely wrong. There is a great difference between the Turkish nation and the Arabs and others in terms of race and culture.
The ethnic origin of the Turks is based on Central Asia. That is, the Middle Easterners in your country are not Turks. Nations who are Turks are Turkey Kazakhstan, Kirgizitan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Hungary.

More on Turkye please! I cannot wait to visit.
I as a Turkishman dont think our tv series suck that bad anymore. Turkish tv shows are super character oriented and tend to focus more on the character than the general plot an increasingly nowadays they are using less and less cheap and overly dramatic soap opera tactics to pass the emotion you know. They are also more high production than most other countries' dramas I think. (Obviously excluding US and some Korean dramas)
Kore bu konuda Türkiyenin yanına yaklaşamaz.Dünyada ikinci sıradayız sektörde.700 milyon kişiye ulaşıyor dizilerimiz.
Turkish tv shows suck more than they used to even. They're not character driven, they're designed to reimagine the same idea as much as possible to keep the audience insterested. Most characters show next to no growth and they're more types than chracters.
I can't say I fell in love with Turkish dramas, but I did fall in love with a Turk, and there is plenty of drama 😆 ❤️
I remember hot air balloons on a puzzle box. My father went to Turkey he bought it as a gift for me. He said Turkey is not only pretty but also the ladies just to tease my mom hahaha I am just like my mom jealous. I think Italians and turks are very similar
Yeah as a Turk I had a feeling that I dont experience when I visit other European countries (I am excluding balkans because we are also very simillar to them ) I kind a felt like being at home. Over the years I met with lots of Italians and yeah we are similar.
When comes to an entertainment industry Turk had produced many good series and their tv stars are really gorgeous!
Should make more content about Turkish !
Love you turks from algeria i love your food and your soap operas.
Thank you a lot love to algeria as well!

turkey is very muslim country. if you go to istanbul you will hear every hour when they start blasting some muslim chants from mosques on max volume almost bursting ear drums of entire istanbul. also the women in this video might be "secular" because they migrated to canada and are from liberal family but majority of turks have afghanistan beards and women are all covered up with burqa. also you can't buy pork meat or alcohol anywhere you go in turkey and they look at tourists who are not covered with hateful judgmental eyes.

As a Turkish, I can say that some of those stereotypes are wrong. For example, dating is not allowed only in some regions of Turkey, however in many places it is allowed. Turks drink a lot of tea but I don't prefer tea, I like coffee more. However, drinking much tea or coffee reduces water and iron in the body, so we should reduce the consumption. I like soap operas, not only Turkish but also Latin ones. There are many vegetables in Turkish dishes since Turkey is a Mediterranean country. Especially in my region, the Aegean region, vegetable dishes are so common. Turkish girls are emotional, and dramatic, that's true.
Wow, I had no idea you guys watched Latin soap operas 🤭, I know in Romania they were quite popular. Which ones?The only Turkish soap opera I've watched has been Sefirin Kizi, Kara Sevda had a pretty disappointing ending☹️.
@@esperanzaarce9563 I used to watch Latin soap operas much, but I sometimes watch them now as well, if I find Turkish dubbing. They are Thalia's series such as Rosalinda, Marimar :) In Turkish soap operas, I haven't watched Sefirin Kizi, Kara Sevda. I prefer romantic-comedy style like Kiralik ask or Erkenci kus :)
@@nergisy.6965 ahh the famous Maria's trilogy. I highly recommend Corazón Salvaje (1993) version and Amor Real, they're both period dramas not too long but they're very good. 😊
@@esperanzaarce9563 thank you very much, I will search for it :)

Jealousy is not about love at all its always about insecurity.

1:56 we literally call breakfast "kahvaltı" which is a word made by fusing "kahve" and "altı" together, they mean "coffee" and "under" respectively in a way that means it's the thing you do before drinking coffee
Watching Turkish Series my favorite one was The Ambassador's Daughter. Cant remember any other.
Best one is "The Magnificent Century". If you didn't saw it you should.
@@keremmazman3761 i will look it up.
Is Ambassador's Daughter "Sefir'in Kızı"?, I'm Turkish btw-

In fact, there are approximately one and a half million varieties of kebab, both vegan and meat, with similar flavors but also different flavors from each region in Turkey.

@Tommy this is a nickname. what turkish have a name like nora?
the way i perceive Turkish society as a total foreigner is that even though it may be considered a muslim country cause most people are indeed muslims, i think it has a fair share of non or less conservative citizens than most people abroad would think. that just goes to show that being a muslim is different to being a more conservative person all the time, the same way it happens with christians and people from other religions. this arranged married thing as far as I've read does still happens but it's mininum compared to a nationwide scale of marriages
That's because Turkey isn't a Muslim country. Turkey is a secular country by law.
Emir~you look like someone from a Turkish drama😍
Well if you say Turkey is in the middle east then of course people will think of camels deserts arabs and so. This is TOTALLY WRONG please Stop this and tell people that Turkey is a transcontinental country between west asia and europe, founded by central asian people. They’ll have a correct understanding of Turkey then!

Some answers to a lot of questions I heard. ' 1''Do Turks consider themselves European or Asian?'' Turkey is a crossroad of East and West both culturally and ethnically and historically, most Turkish people don't think about this question and consider themselves Turkish, but if needed Eurasian, depending on the person European and Asian individually also is commonly heard. 2 ''Are Turks a conservative society and very religious?'' The thing is Turks can be conservative compared to Western Europe but in general it's not and definitely not the young generation, many don't even like being associated with Islam or Islamic countries at all. The original Turks religion wasn't islam either and to this day the Turkish version of Islam is softer than others and has some shamanism/buddhism like influences from the original Central/East Asian Tengriism of the proto-Turks. 3 ''How is life like in Turkey?'' Economically horrible XD especially now, but many people expect some middle eastern country when going to Turkey, even some touristic places in for example Istanbul can be like this because it's what sells, however day-to-day life in Turkey is actually very modern and the cities are very accessible to people that are used to modern living so don't worry about that, technologically quite advanced, probably more than all of it's neighbours, even those in Europe. Those are just some, if you have more questions, feel free to ask. Turks are very friendly people and Turkey is quite amazing. Everyone should come and visit ^^
Very informative.

In Russia, there is a strong stereotype about Turks. Specificly about Turkish men. They are exceptionally handsome with their Middle Eastern or Sothern European look, make a court to a woman nicely. A Turkish man is sweet-talkative and very persistent in his desire to conquer a woman. A kind of a predator who attracts a girl with his striking appearance. What makes them exceptionally handsome is their care of look. They are doing hairstyle, working out and depilating their extra body hair to impress a woman. Russians believe that Turks have a particular preference of slavic beauties. As you know from history lessons a lot of slavic women from the Balkans and Ukraine had fallen into slavery and ended up in the harems of noble turks. For example, the famous Roxelana was an ethnic Ukrainian. Also Russians like to have a vacation in Turkey, mostly because of affrodable prices at local resorts. Despite all of the above, Turks in russian opinion are very strict and patriarhal, therefore they perceive a dating with a russian woman as nothing more than just an affair. IRL they never marry a russian woman preffering their compatriots as darlings. And if the affair did turn into a relationship the turks are very cruel to foreign women. There is a lot of news in Russia and Ukraine about mysterious cases of our women being k&lled in Turkey usually through a fall from a window. That is why some russian men feel insecure and are kinda afraid to send their wifes or daughters to Turkey alone. At the same time some russian women who were exposed to the stereotype still come to the country in persuit of a short-term resort affair. There is a specific nickname for such women - 'Natashka'. Probably, all the above is far from truth but, anyways, the stereotype exists. But actually i like Turkey.
İt s interesting what do russians think about turkish woman?
As a Turkish woman I have to say that it's true. Just a few days ago I saw a comment from a Turkish man who has a Ukrainian gf. He says that in Ukraine he avoids going to restaurants loaded with Turkish men because they always disturb his gf even when he is around and he is sick of this and ashamed of his people. This is a big problem within Turkey as well. Violence against women and femicides accelerated in the last 20 years and the law usually protects men. Now that I said it some Turkish people (especially men) will probably bully me in the comments but that's the bitter truth and any normal person knows that.
