Practice phone calls in Turkish before your trip
Heading somewhere people answer the phone in Turkish? The calls you make on a trip, like confirming your hotel, booking a taxi or reserving a table, are often harder than talking face to face: no gestures, no menu to point at, and people speak fast. A little practice in Turkish before you go makes those calls much less stressful.
Useful Turkish phrases for phone calls
| English | Turkish |
|---|---|
| Hello (opening the call) | Merhaba. |
| I'm calling about my reservation. | Rezervasyonum için arıyorum. |
| Could you speak more slowly, please? | Biraz daha yavaş konuşabilir misiniz, lütfen? |
| Could you repeat that, please? | Tekrar eder misiniz, lütfen? |
| A table for two at 8 pm, please. | Saat sekizde iki kişilik bir masa, lütfen. |
| Thank you, goodbye. | Teşekkürler, iyi günler. |
Tip: say your name and the date of your booking slowly and early in the call, and keep a pen ready for times, prices and confirmation codes.
