Taboo Topics

Avoid topics relating to your partner's personal life in Denmark. Nor should you share the details of your personal affairs. In business contacts, Danes prefer to keep the personal and business spheres separate. It is especially important to keep this distinction in mind if you have not participated in any joint social activities before.

Introduction

Traditionally, each person is given three names. The first of these is given in honor of a relative and is used only in formal legal documents. The second is the name itself, and the third is the surname that a person inherits from his father. Most of the surnames that are common in Turkey today appeared after the 1934 reforms in connection with the establishment of the Turkish Republic.
