They discuss various aspects of the Turkish language including the change of the Turkish alphabet in the 1920s, the importance of vowel length, why it’s much harder to interrupt people when speaking Turkish, the importance of the informal ‘you’, and why the Harry Potter books are much shorter when translated in Turkish!
