Do you know how to talk about the common furniture and rooms of the house in Turkish? Learn the related vocabulary before you check in to your Airbnb in Turkey!
So you’re planning a vacation in Turkey. Have you decided where you will stay? Learning the vocabulary rooms of the house in Turkish would help you communicate better with your Airbnb host.
Or, if you want to live in Turkey, you won’t believe how many times you wish you knew the basic furniture like masa, kapı, and rooms like mutfak, banyo in Turkish. They may sound blivit as there is much more important Turkish vocabulary to learn. But believe me, you’ll have to use them every other day, if not every single day.
So, I prepared vocabulary lists of common words related to the house and some furniture for you.
