I don´t think so because ´lad´ is always used in an affectionate, friendly way as far as I know.

"lan" is slang 

The origin of the slang word LAN goes back to the Ottoman times.

LAN comes from OGLAN, which means ´boy.´ Precisely for this reason LAN also takes the form of ULAN, which is a derivative of OGLAN. In the Ottoman times, when you attached the word LAN/ULAN at the end of your statement, it usually had a dregatory term in the sense that you called the other person a ´boy´, or a ´rookie´, still wet behind the ears.

Over the years, the use of LAN/ULAN in Modern Turkish lost its original meaning, and the word became less dregatory but still somewhat aggressive and certainly slang.

NABER LAN GOT, as vulgar as it is, could be heard among close male friends as a form of greeting.

In Modern Turkish, the use of LAN/ULAN is extremely idiomatic, and can only be learnt by paying attention to its use among native speakers. There are no textbook directions as to its proper use in daily life.

However, its etymological roots are burried in the word OGLAN ´young male/boy´, which goes all the way back to the Ottoman times, or perhaps earlier.

I hope this helps.

Nice to see you back on TC cynicmystic

Thanx for the welcome lady in red

IAN in english is a male name

No way... you don´t say.

Ian Johan John Eeyan Jon

Are you sure it is an English name cause it also has Biblical connotations not to mention that the name itself was uttered way before English was a language as we know it.

  - not sure what that´s  got to do with Lan?  Ian was originally a Gaelic name not English btw.

Sorry Christine - just realised you must have misread ´lan´ as ´Ian´

 evet i agree with you.  I remember when i requested for a translation regarding the diologues of my two friends, here it goes (the translation someone gave me)

SUS LA – Shut up bro
NE GÜLÜYON LAN – what u laughin at bro

I dont know what ´lan´ or ´len´ means in English, the closest thing I could think of was ´bro´. Basically its a slang word that young men use to address each other (usually men who speak Turkish badly and swear alot)

Anyway, it´s a word that you would never be expected to use if you are a female.
