| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Icten: A famous expression in Turkey is Neden olmasın? which means, like in English, "Why not?" |
| You can use it to accept a proposition if you agree but aren’t really that keen to do it. Or, if it was not planned in advance. |
| For example if a friend asks you suddenly "Do you want to go to the cinema tonight?" you can answer Neden olmasın? meaning "Why not?" |
