Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Icten: In Turkish, if you really insist on using some other word for “to love something”, you use the verb hoşlanmak which means "to like/to enjoy" something/someone. So you will certainly hear Sürprizlerden çok hoşlanırım often. This means "I really enjoy surprises!"

Icten: Hoşçakalın.
