This might sound like a weird question, but I’m a synesthete and I’ve noticed something very specific about Turkish.

For some reason, Turkish words often give me very strong taste sensations. For example, words like “içilmez” somehow taste like burger sauce to me.

And when I hear something like “otururken”, I get a similar sensation — almost like pickles.

I experienced it yesterday for the first time when i was at SAW for a transit flight.

I don’t mean “tasty” metaphorically. I literally experience something resembling a taste when I hear certain sounds or words and become hungry.

I’m really curious: does anyone else experience something similar with Turkish? Especially other synesthetes — do certain Turkish sounds or words trigger specific tastes for you?
