Turkish Phrases: Please Stop the Bus!

author Posted by: nick on date Oct 2nd, 2008 | filed Filed under: turkish phrases

This has to be one of the most useful Turkish phrases I’ve memorized: Musait bir yerda (moo sigh it bir yar da).  When you are on a dolmush (dolmuş) minibus it means, “Stop somewhere convenient, please.”

Once I tried to tell a dolmuş driver I wanted to get off before a certain supermarket.  Of course, I only knew the name of the supermarket, so he didn’t understand what I was saying.  When we came to where I wanted to get off he would not stop because we weren’t at the supermarket yet!  I learned to say Musait bir yerde right after that.
