After getting in a taxi today, I went through the normal routine of greeting the driver, telling him where to go, and asking him how he was doing. To which he replied, "sizin Turkje çok güzel." I thought he was asking me how I liked Turkey, to which I responded (with an Italian hand gesture) "çok, çok güzel." Which means very, very good. Then I heard some laughing in the back from Stephanie. She asked me if I knew what was just said. She informed me that the driver originally said that my Turkish was very good, to which I replied, "yes it is, very, very good!"
We all got a good laugh out of it, even the driver--he still said my Turkish was good, but we all know he was trying to be nice.
