Turkish Aliases
Believe it or not, the name 'Mat' is not a user-friendly name for the Turkish people, it doesn't conform to the vowel harmony required in the language. Therefore, I have unwillingly assumed several aliases:
Ahmet: Generally when somebody takes me by surprise and asks me in Turkish for my name, 'adiniz ne?', after a brief hesitation I reply, ' ahhhh, Mat!' to which they interpret as 'Ahmet'.
Mert: On a daily basis people mistake my name for Mert, perhaps they just look at me and think i'm a Turk! (After all, the name 'Mert' conforms to the required vowel harmony.)
