Food and drink

What holds these lists together

At the table Turkish is rich and precise. There is not one word for “cook”, but several: water boils (kaynamak), you cook a meal (pişirmek), vegetables are boiled in water (haşlamak). Many eating places are named after what they serve, with the ending -ci: kebabs at the kebapçı, soup at the çorbacı. And some sentences belong to a meal and are never left out: Afiyet olsun! before eating and Elinize sağlık! to whoever cooked. The lists go from breakfast via ordering to your own kitchen.

For example: yemek (food, dish, meal), menü (menu; set menu), meyhane (tavern (with meze)), tarif (recipe; description), un (flour)

Spread across the levels

The category runs across the levels — it is an area, not a difficulty. If you practise it, you can also choose a level at the top of the practice page and then get only the part that sits there.
