""sevgili babam, seninle tanıştığımız için çok şanslıyız. şans eseri tanışmız olmamıza rağmen bizlere çok şeyler verdin!
sendeki gibi dünya kadar sağlam, denizler kadar geniş, samimi kalbi olan insanları severiz. İyi insanlar kaldıkları yerlere iyilikler bırakırlar. Tanrı iyi insanları kutsar.
seni her zaman hatırlayacağız. Umarız bir gün Türkiye'ye, harika İstanbul'a gelebiliriz... tabii ki seni de ziyaret ederiz.""

address=adres

if you are respecting someone older than you; the best way to show it in Türkiye is to kiss his/her hand, then make the hand touch ur forehead.
Good luck :P

This might be very stupid or funny question for you, please don't mind. When you say older.. older as in how old exactly? I have couple of older friends they are in their 30's and 40's... so as their young friend I so wanna play with them and make them feel old... so is it funny/ok to do this to them? I wanna be evil hehehe just to tease them

oh,thanks a million!
i am trying to finish my graphic,later i will add your translation there
yes ,i did it,that's why he treats me as daughter

thanks to allthelyrics,and thanks to anderton!!

well this isn't something with strict bounds. theres no such thing as an"age limit" but i can say that if u wanna show respect to a real old person like grandfather/mother u do it by kissing the hand.

for your friends, it should be a good joke as ur age difference isnt much and more importantly friends dont need to show respect to each other with formal traditional ways, tho if you it, some of em(females especially) may get offended when u kiss their hands and take it to ur forehead, as they r obsessed with all that aging/geting old syndrome thing, and may think that as a some kind of insult : )

and iyeh; if u r like real good friends with this man i dont think ull need to do anything extra/special to show your respect..
