Quoting gordios: Quoting tinababy: Quoting CrazyAngel: Could you perhaps use "oğlum" for a girl in the same way that the Americans often use the word "Dude" for both guys and girls?
/c.a. |
Maybe??? I know one of my good Turkish friends calls me "abe" when he is relaxed and happy. |
-you call your older brother "abi".
-you also call someone "abi" who is a male and a little older than you.if he is too much older than you you dont call him abi.
-you also call someone who is a male and younger than you -even if he is a child- to encourage him.little boys feel better when you call them "abi" they feel as if they are adults.
-if you call your gf "abi" this completely slang. |
not his girlfriend but just good family friends!

so then calling his girlfriend oglum is wrong and rude? it´s not calling her oglum all the time only when it´s in converstaion and he tries to get her attention for ex. "oglum... i told you ....

Some Turks (but not all of them) use it as expletive...or from showing off

Some men use slang terms like "oğlum" "abi" in their daily conversations so much that, even when they are with their female friends, these words just come out of their mouths without even them being consious.

if it was "abe" exactly. I think he lives in Trakya region of Turkey. In example in Edirne, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli... And it expresses sincerity like "ho!" in English.

it is better calling people in their names.Serious people never use that "oğlum" in conversations.if you are not serious you can of course call your friends "oğlum" "kızım" "lan" "ulan" etc.
one thing:older people may use these words "oğlum,kızım,çocuğum etc." to show their affection and that is good.

Maybe. But I have heard it in Balıkesir, Konya and in Van, too. But of course I didn´t know the origin of the people who told "ağbey" [a:bi:] and "oğlum".

The friend who calls me abe is originally from Diyabakır but has lived in the Bodrum area for many years. Maybe he just thinks of me as male????????????
