| ===Questions===
| |
| *'''Arthur''': I usually wear jeans, a shirt, and sneakers. What do you wear?
| |
| **'''Adil''': That sounds like what I wear. When it's warm, I wear tee-shirts, shorts, and sandals. When it's colder, long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and maybe a sweater vest.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What is your school like? Or are you taught at home?
| |
| **'''Adil''': My school is pretty big, and a little crowded. We have our elementary and middle schools together in one building. One good thing is that I get to learn a lot from older kids!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you take your turban off before you shower?
| |
| **'''Adil''': That's a weird question. I am a Muslim, but only some Muslims wear turbans. I don't wear one. And of course people who wear them take them off before showering. It would get all wet.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you have any pets, like a monkey?
| |
| **'''Adil''': What? Who has a pet monkey? They're wild animals.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': I really like to read. I go to the library all the time. Do you like reading?
| |
| **'''Adil''': I LOVE to read! My favorite books are books about Turkish history. It's so interesting.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': I love to ride my bike. Do you have a bike? If so, where do you ride?
| |
| **'''Adil''': I live in Istanbul, a really big city. It's crowded, and there is a lot of traffic, so we can't ride bikes that often. My apartment building has a small park, and sometimes I ride my bike there.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': How did you learn to speak Turkish?
| |
| **'''Adil''': Uh... everyone I know speaks Turkish, so I just learned it.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you play video games? Which ones do you like?
| |
| **'''Adil''': I do play video games! Usually I play on a computer or a tablet. I like games where I can build things — like zoos and houses.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you have a certain bedtime? I'm supposed to go to sleep at 9:00.
| |
| **'''Adil''': Yes, usually I go to bed at about 9:30. Right before bed my family has tea and a snack together. We eat walnuts, oranges, and apples.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What kind of money do you use in Turkey?
| |
| **'''Adil''': Our money is called the Turkish lira. You can buy a delicious ice cream for just one lira!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': I love a TV show called "[[Bionic Bunny]]." Do you like TV or movies?
| |
| **'''Adil''': I don't watch them that often, but I do like TV and I loooove movies! Sometimes my friends and I even act out our favorite TV shows.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What kinds of games do you play with your friends?
| |
| **'''Adil''': The best game is called celik comak. There are two teams, and a stick on the ground between them. The goal is to get the stick to your side!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What's your family like? I live with my mom, dad, and two little sisters.
| |
| **'''Adil''': I live with my mother and father, and my little sister Ayse, who is VERY annoying!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you have a favorite food? If so, what is it?
| |
| **'''Adil''': My favorite food it called manti. It's sooooo delicious. It's dough folded around a super tiny ball of meat (like a mini ravioli!).
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Is it hot living in the desert?
| |
| **'''Adil''': I assume it could be hot... but why are you asking me? I live in a big city!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you have man-eating newts where you live?
| |
| **'''Adil''': You mean like tiny lizards that eat people? That's not even a real thing!
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Have you ever seen someone make a carpet fly?
| |
| **'''Adil''': Seems like a weird question. You mean like a magic show?
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What are your friends like? My best friend Buster is really funny!
| |
| **'''Adil''': My best friend is named Onder. He is so funny! But sometimes he gets in trouble for not doing his homework.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': What kind of weird foods do Turkish people eat?
| |
| **'''Adil''': What do you mean weird? I eat lots of good food.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': Do you listen to regular music, or just snake charmer music?
| |
| **'''Adil''': Uh, you DO know I live in Turkey, right? I THINK you're thinking about India. And I don't think THEY even have snake charmers anymore.
| |
| *'''Arthur''': So, you live in Turkey. Do you EAT turkey on Thanksgiving?
| |
| **'''Adil''': Arthur, I don't know what "turkey" is. Are you making a joke of some sort?

| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[File:Dear Adil game unused dialog.png|thumb|The unused dialogue.]]
| |
| *There exists an unused question and corresponding voice line in which Adil asks "What would YOU tell me or ask me in a letter?" It was intended for use between Arthur asking "Has anyone ever made an assumption about you? How did you feel?" and the ending slide of the game.
