| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Icten: If you want to cook for your friends or partner, but cannot decide what to cook, Ne yemek istersiniz? is a good question to ask – it means “what would you like to eat?” |
| Once you’ve learned this phrase it’s possible that you’ll often recognize it in restaurants too. |
