Do Turkish people always greet guests with 'hoşgeldiniz'?

In Turkish culture, it is common to use the word 'hoşgeldiniz' or 'welcome' when greeting guests. It is a tradition that has been around for centuries, and it is still used today. However, it is worth noting that not all Turkish people use this greeting exclusively, and some may use alternatives depending on the situation or context.

'Hoşgeldiniz' is often used when welcoming guests to a home, restaurant, or business. It can also be used as a general greeting when meeting someone new. In more formal situations, such as meetings or presentations, people may use a more formal greeting like 'Merhaba' or 'Selamün Aleyküm.'

In addition to these greetings, it is also customary for Turks to offer refreshments or small snacks to their guests as a sign of hospitality. This can include tea, coffee, or traditional Turkish sweets.
