1. Haýsy ýola gitmeli?


== Cultural Insights ==
2. Sag tarapa geç!


In Turkmenistan, directions are often given based on landmarks and well-known locations rather than street names. This is because street names are not widely used or recognized. Instead, Turkmen people rely on landmarks, such as buildings, monuments, or natural features, to provide directions. For example, someone might say "Turn left at the mosque" or "Go straight until you reach the big park".
3. Nirede?


Additionally, it is common for Turkmen people to give directions using distances and time rather than specific directions. For example, they might say "Go straight for about 500 meters" or "Turn right after 10 minutes". This is because Turkmenistan is a vast country with wide-open spaces, and distances between locations can be significant.
4. Uzakda nirede?


It's also worth noting that Turkmenistan has a unique system of numbering buildings. Instead of using consecutive numbers, buildings are often numbered based on their location within a block or neighborhood. For example, a building might be numbered as "10/2", indicating that it is the second building on the left side of the street.
5. Şu ýerde dur!
