Three registers: SOKAK DİLİ (street: „yaa“, „işte“, „abi“ — shortcuts, slang, interjections). EDEBİ (literary: precise terms, full forms). RESMİ (official: „sayın“, „rica ederim“, „saygılarımla“). In letters only edebi/resmi. In chats sokak, but without „orda“ in serious topics. Address: „Siz“ (you-formal) vs „sen“ (you-informal) — choose by age/status.

●„Nasılsın“ (informal) vs „Nasılsınız“ (formal) — politeness
●Official: „rica ederim“ = „I request“ (polite ask)
●„Abi/abla“ = „brother/sister“ — informal respect

💬 „Sayın“ before the name = „dear“ in letters, but sounds cold spoken. Living respect — „hocam“ (teacher) or „bey/hanım“.
