Addressing |
 |
|
|
When you settle in Turkey you are going to notice |
|
that people usually address each other with their first names. |
|
Don\'t be surprised because people were mentioned with their |
|
first and their fathers name during the 700-year Ottoman Empire. |
|
Surname law is established in 1934 after the Republic of Turkey |
|
was formed. |
|
an?m is added to the first name while addressing |
|
to ladies while Bey is added to their first name when addressing |
|
to men. For example the lady whose name is Binnur Kandemir is |
|
called Binnur Han?m and the man whose name is Ali Parlar is |
|
called Ali Bey. Turks usually discriminate on this subject when |
|
speaking to foreigners and non-Moslems. Va�e Muhtaryan is |
|
generally addressed as Bay Va�e or Monsieur Va�e or Michele |
|
Tengizman is addressed as Bayan Michele or Madame Michele. |
|
During business conferences or meetings people speak to each |
|
other Say?n followed by their surnames ignoring the gender (i.e. |
|
Defne Tesal is called Say?n Tesal) |
|
ometimes people are |
|
addressed by their professions. For example you can address a |
|
female lawyer as Avukat (literally lawyer) Han?m or a male |
|
doctor as Doktor Bey. You can call a male personnel on officical |
|
sites as Memur Bey, however it is not proper to call the female |
|
personnel as Memur Han?m. Any serviceman whether he is |
|
electrician, upholsterer or plumber is addressed as usta. The |
|
taxi, dolmu? and bus drivers can be addressed as ?of�r Bey. |
 |
he |
|
salesman in �ar??s and pazars usually address to customers with |
|
names used for relatives. They speak to young customers abla, |
|
abi and to middle-aged customers teyze or amca and to the older |
|
customers as anne, baba, nine or dede. This kind of addressing |
|
has nothing to do with establishing any family relationship but |
|
was made up just for addressing easiness� |
