Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

Thank you for sharing this video but it's made me more nervous lol 😊

3 (from Şişli). Each time you enter the metro or switch lines you will tap your card and pay

Great information provided. I noticed there are escalators everywhere but do you have a video for travelers on wheelchairs that require elevators? Thank you.

@IstanbulHacks

25 күн бұрын

Hi, 99% of stations have elevators and wheelchair access

Hello friend. Also we have some problems we are living in Istanbul the according to Metrobus section European side is Beylikdüzü - Avcılar - Zincirlikuyu and the Asia side is 15 Temmuz şehitler köprüsü - Uzunçayır - Söğütlüçeşme because of Zincirlikuyu is the station with European line.

Really useful video! Can you use a contactless card on the public transport?

HI, can i go from Sabiha Airport to Galata area? with metro or tram ?

@IstanbulHacks

3 ай бұрын

You can yes. Using the M4 line

Turkey like many countries eg Japan etc should have one common transportation card/kart , which could be used in all the cities of Turkiye because a card of one city cannot be used in another city and a tourist loses leftover money from the previous city card he/she has visited. I hope concerned authorities look into the matter. This could save a lot of time, money of the tourist and the hassles for obtaining a card of a new city...🌹☺️

It’s a great idea and I believe they are in talks to do this, I’m not sure when it will happen though

In addition to city cards, most cities in Turkey allow the use of contactless credit cards on transportation lines, usually with a small commission fee.

why isnt there any reliable from whicht to get connections? the official one is very slow and buggy

How do I reach from Istanbul Airpot to DoubleTree by Hilton Avcilar. From Nepal 🇳🇵

@ebruaktel2211

There are buses from the airport to certain parts of Istanbul. Also, You can go to Gayrettepe by istanbul airport metro and then change to metrobus going to Avcilar. But it is a quite long journey, about 1.5 hours. And metrobus is very crowded in rush hours. Keep it in mind.

Hi .. is there somewhere we can get a map of the ststions for free like at the station ?
