Bye Bye by BOY

 I noticed that I haven't written anything about music. I cannot play any instruments, except a recorder that I have had to learn at school. Actually I like composing music on the phone with some basic apps, but it was just a hobby. I have mentioned that I am interested in the Korean language, culture and music. So, my playlist mostly consists of Korean and English based music. I will also add some Turkish songs that my parents and friends suggested to me. I also like classical music which consists of some violin and piano elements. Although I don't have much repertoire in classical music, I might not add every amazingly produced songs.

Such as saat (clock/time), maalesef (unfortunately), aile (family), şair (poet)... 2) Two Consonants The same consonant can not be side by side in the roots of Turkish words. Such as sıhhat (health), millet (nation), şiddet (violence), bakkal (grocery)... 3) Long Vowels There are no long vowels in Turkish.
