For us (Turkey), back then, Ottoman Empire had a way of serving coffees with a glass of water. When you visit somebody, they would bring it, and look which one of them you drink first. If you drunk the coffee, everything is fine. But if you finished your cup of water first, then you must be hungry and they could also serve you something to fill your stomach. It was very kind how they did many things. ☕ 🥄

Thank you for the heads up. If ever offered a cup of water and a cup of coffee, always finish the water first!

@needhelpwithOCD we never say "I am going", we say "I am going and will come back". there are special word forms for this in our regional language. and not saying it will get you called out by anyone. they believe if you say i am going, it means you will pass away and wont come back. so believe me when people are adamant to make you say the second one 😂

We show hospitality by using "po" and "opo", a courtesy of showing respect, which is also correspondent to a polite response. And calls older woman — sister; older man as brother. 👐🏼

In the southern part of the US, it will be asked, "Do you want a Coke?" The word Coke is used as opposed to soda or pop.

@AReine Whenever I see such dresses I feel like going and finding someone to marry. Thats pretty close to dresses the woman in Ottoman Empire wore. Shiny.

Yeah the red holy is the dress that the bride wears in the south of Tunisia. There are many dresses that are a bit similar to those ottoman you mentioned but i don't think the Holy haha. Maybe the Carthaginian Caftan is more similar . As yiu said the Holy is shiny since it's full of gold jewelry. Here are some examples I hope you like them 😄

The “mati” is the Greek belief in the evil eye. We believe that someone can give you bad luck just by being jealous or admiring you too much. That’s why many Greeks wear a blue “mataki” for protection. 🧿
