Most Turkish superstitions are uniquely Turkish...
but some are the same as ours! As you've probably already noted, we feel that it's hard to learn the Turkish language well without knowing a good deal about the Turkish people -- their culture, their traditions, their hopes and dreams. We reckon that you won't be able to exercise (or enjoy) the full potential of the language without learning about the ancient customs that Turks respect, without knowing what makes them happy or sad, without knowing what inspires them to sing, dance, and laugh. We also believe (as you've probably also noted) that a knowledge of Turkey's celebrities is useful in the language learning process -- providing a (somewhat exaggerated) microcosm that helps all of us Turkish language-learning-strugglers to better understand the rest of the Turkish population. In this article about Turkish superstitions (hurafeler) you'll be getting 'two for the price of one'. Because...as you learn more about a select group of Turkish celebrities, you'll also gain insight into what makes them and their Turkish audiences tick.
How many of the superstitions above do you share with these Turkish celebrities and their audiences?
