(ii)
i would like to do...erasmus... but there is exam. so... before... i need to... pass away
(iii)
me: i suppose in europe now - people generally marry later, have children later, much later than here... actually.
reply: why? they have.... no money?
(iv)
in turkey virginity is big tabu. if a girl in school does it... everybody knows immediately. so all the girls say "bitch". so all the guys make loooooong queue.
(v)
me (to a girl in my class): wow, i love your dress. you have great fashion sense.
reply: thank you. i wear for my best boy.
me: i see...a boy you like. any result?
reply: no result. he not interested. very big ego. very big ego not good thing, ...i think.
me: ok... but what's so special about him?
reply: ...nothing.
me: c'mon...i mean... is he cute? funny? clever?
reply: he has big beard. he is big. we not talk. msn...sometime...maaaaaybe.
me: alright... in english you can say "he thinks a lot of himself".
reply: no...he not think a lot.

(vi)
ME: ok. so, if they interview you for a job - well, you try to be polite, say good things about the prospective employer / company etc. like... if you apply for a job with coca - cola... you start off by saying that you would loooove to work for them because of the great reputation of the company, its amazing success etc etc.

now... i know that some of you are going for this turkish airline selection. so, let's imagine i am the person asking you questions... like. why would you like to work for this company?

REPLY: money veeeeery good.
