Please tell the inexperienced, but what about understanding each other?
For example, in the Turkish market, how do I understand what to say and what they say to me?

If you plan to go to the resort area, then don't worry, the Turks have already mastered Russian perfectly;)

Remember:
Chok plowed! and shake your head sadly (it means "too expensive")
Indrim! ("discount")
And, in general, they write correctly - you still have to look well for a place where you will not be understood in Russian. And in the "grocery" markets there are signs with the specified price.

There, both ours and the bourgeoisie speak the so-called. tourist language. If suddenly the local does not know Russian, then complete nonsense like - Muchacha bring me uno grosse bira first favor is quite suitable. In this phrase, 5 or 6 languages u200bu200bare mixed and he will understand.

And once I was a Turk, when I addressed him in English, after a couple of minutes of conversation and finding out that my native language was Russian, he simply asked me to speak Russian with him, arguing that he simply needed to improve his Russian.

Although in fairness - they (the Turks) are also very pleased when they try to speak their language with them, even if they just say hello. Elementary phrasebooks are full on the Internet. And I myself even try after each visit to Turkey to remember something new for myself. It's normal to try to immerse yourself in the culture (including the language) of the people you are visiting.
In general, for me, the advice is this - they will understand you almost everywhere and in Russian, but knowing a few phrases in Turkish will only enrich you.

A small incident - bir is their number (I forgot the truth for sure, but in my opinion 1), but bira is beer.
Burak - transport stop (it sounds like the Russian "fool")

On the Internet, you can easily find a Russian-Turkish phrasebook, moreover, there are free programs voiced, where they teach the correct Turkish pronunciation. If a tourist is going to visit, for example, Istanbul on his own (except for the market, they will understand him there), then elementary knowledge of English or German does not fit. Good luck.

If you go to Istanbul, you definitely need a phrasebook! Taxi drivers there don’t even speak English, or at best they hardly understand, I’m not even talking about other places ... In a restaurant or cafe in the center of Istanbul, the Sultanahmet district, they didn’t meet more than one Russian-speaking employee, and if you go to the Laleili district - much more likely to meet "your-mine-understand")))
In Marmaris, Bodrum and Antalya (I mean not the territory of hotels) it is easier to communicate in English, not many people speak Russian in these cities, and even then at the level of the simplest phrases, but in Kemer, Tekkirova and Alanya English is not at all needed, there really is almost EVERYONE speak Russian.
