Hello there,in daily conversation this is a general statement to politely ask for ''a cup of a tea''.Yes,you are right.The cultural translation would be a cup of a tea.Turkish people drink tea ''from a glass'' while British do it with a cup,that's the difference.Congrats!Cheers!

There are other differences too. Unlike a lot of the tea you'll find in the UK, and just about all the tea you will find in India and among its diaspora, there is no milk in typical Turkish tea, but always sugar.

If I say "bir bardak çayı," does it become "a tea glass"? Or is it doesn't exist in the first place? Haha.
That doesn't make sense. "A tea glass" would be "(bir) çay bardağı" :)

And what would be the name of "apple tea" (The Turkish non-alcoholic national drink--or so I've been told. Had plenty glasses of that offered to me in stores!)? Could it be "elma çayı"?
