Another couple of words!!!

 

 

hayrola>>>> whats the matter?   (sounds soo arabic ! man its freaky!)

 

eyvah>>>>> alas   

(whats freaky about this is that we always say eyvah, but of course eywah, but we also use it for the meaning of yes {egyptians only})

 

aşağıda>>>> downstairs (before i heard the pronunciation, it looked so hard!!!)

 

nefes nefese>>>> out of breath

 There is a fun thing about the opposite: terbiyeli: well-mannered.

 

Have you had terbiyeli kebap?  It doesn´t mean that the kebap is polite and says "thank you for inviting me to your dinner table"!  It means done in a sauce.

 

Maybe the Turks think that when my mum taught me to say "please" and "thank you" she was cooking me in a sauce?

 

Funny, ´cos to us "sauce" means cheek, and "saucy" means cheeky i.e. rude!
