Body
Eric: Here's the informal way to say 'Do you have a pen?' in Turkish.

Icten: [Slow] Tabii, buyurun. [Normal] Tabii, buyurun.
Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Icten: If you want to ask a question that you’re pretty sure you know the answer to, but you just want to clarify, you can use the word değil mi. Here’s an example.
Bir köpeğin var değil mi? This literally means “You have a dog, don't you?”
You just add the little word değil mi after the sentence.

Outro
Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
Icten: Hoşçakalın.
