सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Asking 'Nasılsın?' is the first step of hospitality. Even a stranger might ask you this to make you feel welcome. Turkish culture is hierarchical. Always default to 'Siz' (formal) if you are unsure. Using 'Sen' with an elder can be seen as a lack of 'terbiye' (upbringing). In Turkey, people often ask 'Nasılsın?' multiple times in one conversation. It's not that they forgot; it's just a way to fill silence warmly. Turkish people are generally stoic. Even in hard times, 'İyiyim' is the standard answer to avoid worrying others.
