Every society using its language refers to its own history, tradition and culture. The way of society’s perception of the world is expressed by vocabulary. Names, common words, proverbs, phrases, metaphors convey not only the meaning and comprehension of the statement but also a variety of associations and moral values it denotes. The way we speak, when and what we speak about, all this is as important as information itself and influences the way people see us. Because of that, speaking skills are also perceived as a manifestation of proper behaviour in a given culture. Some of the quoted proverbs are present only in works of literature, some are parts of colloquial language, others have fallen into disuse or have been forgotten. Because of the fact that they are published in contemporary Turkish dictionaries, we can assume that they still constitute a basic element of the verbal language and define Turkish culture. The following paper includes the definition of respect both in Polish and Turkish and the proverbs and expressions connected with the meaning of respect. All the chosen proverbs and expressions, grouped subject-wise, are presented in their original version together with a Polish translation. Polish equivalents of Turkish proverbs are also provided when the exact or very similar Polish ones have been found. Groups contain proverbs and expressions describing: 1. Perception of respect and the way it is shown; 2. A person who shows/does not show his respect; 3. Respectful and respectless behaviour; 4. General truth which concerns respect; 5. Proverbs giving advice how to behave.
