Canikom

All help appreciated - have checked the online dictionary and tureng but no joy.

Thanks in advance

 yes you are right it is confusing. the online dictionary gave murderer for "cani" but i am not sure is "kom" part of the word or is is a suffix?. a native speaker will be very usefull here.

This is not a formal Turkish word.  It may just be a slang word.

It means sweety - My Dear - poopet or something like.

I think rank and fashion but raw recruit parvenue society like use that word.

 Thanks Hedef and Hallederiz.

Hallederiz, are you saying it isn´t a very polite way to speak? Or is it slang used by young people? I am confused by your last sentence.

Thans for all the help!! I thought he was calling me a murderer????

I certainly wouldn´t want to be called ´poopet´ !!!

no it is not rude, just slang. it is used only by women. if someone is using this continuously,  it can be annoying and sounding "artificial"

 he must have been in touch with his feminine side this morning!!

Actually, I think he was just being sarcastic!

Thanks dilliduduk and everyone else for your help

actually, i was just thinking of adding that it is also used when you are being sarcastic (I do like that at least )
