Cultural Insight |
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Icten: If you can’t remember how to say Goodbye in Turkish, you can always just say bay-bay. |
This expression is pretty casual, but if you just can’t find that right word, you can always just use bay-bay and no one will have any trouble understanding you. |
