Mantı in English = logi
How ?
mantık=logic mantı =logi

Güney'de bir turistik lokanta, yemek listesine yemeklerin Türkçe adlarini, karşına da Ingilizcelerini koymus. Mantı'nin ingilizcesi olarak da "Logi" geçiyormus.
ingilizcede böyle bir sözcük mevcut degil. Peki nasil icad edilmis?
Arastirmis ve bulmuslar: "Logic" ingilizcede "mantık" demek. Son harfini atmislar, olmus "mantı" !

Selin, thanks for posting this great recipe, but I would like to remind you for the second time that this site is used by English speaking people who are interested in Turkish, therefore the language of this site is English, not Turkish, Please stick to the rules. Thank you!

Yes catwoman,i agree with you,but if we dont see any Turkish text in the site how will we learn Turkish ?!
TC helping people to learn Turkish,and if people didnt use turkish texts we will never learn Turish.

Selin use English and also Turkish,and its not long texts in Turkish,its short ones
İ see it as a challenge for learners which it is important to have if we ever want learn.
And in a day or two,someone will translate it,or ask Selin to do it.

That would be great for the learning process,im sure if you look at it from that prospect you will agree with me ,right ?

in a touristic resturant İn south, people wrote english meanings of names of turkish food
near of their turkish food names.Here Logi is written near of Mantı. But here is not such a
word ''Logi'' in English.So where did they find this word.So that
Mantık=logic
Mantı=logi

Canli, this is your perspective, which makes sense. However, NOT everybody is here to actually learn Turkish first of all, and second of all, most people don't like it when they don't understand what is being talked about on the site, more so - they see it as rude (unless it's a thread specifically for practicing Turkish).
Even though your point of view makes sense, the rule on this site that has been decided on is that English is the language for conversations. Practicing Turkish is absolutely a great thing to do, but do it under appropriate thread.

Thank you Selin for translating your post.
