Quoting Deli_kizin: It's not really a word but i love when they throw their heads backwards and click their tongues as a disaproving 'no'.
|
hehehe I was surprised when my german friend found it very strange and made fun of it, when I did this gesture. I found it surprising because I thought everyone in the world was doing this

RENGARENK!!! That is the word i love!! I heard it looong time ago in one of Sezen Aksu's songs and i loved it from the beginning!
The pronunciation is beautiful, the meaning and the idea of using the word color double for a word that means multicoloured!

Quoting AlphaF: Ceyda,
What the saying literally means is roughly as follows
Neither a hollow stone will remain on the ground very long, nor a "deli" girl at home.
P.S :"Deli" literally means "crazy" but can also hint at personal qualities like joyful, exciting, brave, out of ordinary, committed, interesting etc. |
Can you be a 'deli' woman or does it only apply to girls? I think if it can apply to women, I am definitely 'deli' heheheh

hehe i had got so used to doing that in turkey, that when i came back here to the uk.. i subconsciously did it at school... only for my anlamsız friend to be totally confused... hehe she said "what the hell does çık mean" (çık being the sound as i hope u could have guessed!! hehe)
strange how little things like this even differ...
another one like that is when turkish speakers just say "he" to kind of approve of what ur saying or to show that theyr following ur train of thought... i do that a lot too... i think that people are gonna start worrying about me hehe

And what does it mean?
1. tuxedo, tuxedo jacket and trousers, (semiformal) evening dress.
2. tuxedo jacket, dinner jacket.

It has to be an imported word as it doesn't fit the syllabul rules because it starts with two consonants. I'm guessing it is derived from the same source as the rare English word 'smock'.
