Contexte culturel
In Turkey, tea is brewed in a 'çaydanlık'. The bottom part contains 'sıcak su' which boils and steams the tea leaves in the top part. The 'sıcaklık' is the hottest room in a hamam, where 'sıcak su' flows from marble basins called 'kurna'. Offering water to a guest is a sign of respect. If they are cold, 'sıcak su' or tea is immediately offered. Turkey is famous for its 'kaplıca' (thermal springs). People visit these for 'şifalı sıcak su' (healing hot water).
Ordering Tea
If your tea is too strong, just say 'Biraz sıcak su alabilir miyim?'
Boiling vs Hot
Don't say 'sıcak su' for a kettle that just clicked off; say 'kaynar su' to warn others.
