It's not likely that this will be read by anyone unless they are going through
old messages, but no matter. Yusuf was one of the most pleasant and helpful

about Turkish, his native language, but also about Arabic and Persian, and
maybe Hebrew. He was always ready to answer any questions he was asked.
