I completely agree with erdinc and I think Turkia sounds beautiful.. It's very annoying when I say I love Turkey and people think I am talking about a bird. Ugh. Also, I firmly believe it is implicitly used by some to evoke in people's minds associations with a squawking, helpless-acting animal, fit for not much but being eaten.
Turkia is so much nicer. It is used in Arabic too..

For ten months I'm using this word on these boards patiently and insistently and sometimes I felt like a person who speaks a foreign language that nobody understands but recetly I saw others using it as well and it was nice to see this.

Quoting Aenigma: ... how can you describe any living creature and being "fit for not much but being eaten"? It is a living thing, not just a source of food for you.  Incidently, turkeys are one of the most intelligent birds on earth. |
Aenigma, I am not saying that they are not intelligent and are only a source of food for me, I am saying that that is what many people think of when they think of turkeys! Not everyone is as informed about these birds as you are to know the intelligence these animals possess; when most people think of turkeys they think of squawking, helpless, annoying, yummy animals !!!  .. of course, that is not necessarily my opinion..I hope I cleared that up. Poor turkeys, I'm not trying to insult them heheh !
Quoting Aenigma: ...AND... in Turkish the bird is called 'hindi' which means "from & related to India" - does anyone in India complain about that?  |
I don't know how many Indian people know that a bird is named after them in the Turkish language !!

Now for goodness sake let me get back to spring cleaning my posts before Lyndie starts taunting me about being an eco-warrior....

Nooo. First I wanted to post that I wonder why there isn't a 'cheering smiley' here, but now I remember the sadness that you even deleted all the sweetly dedicated quotes and songs and the amazing list of music you listen to! Get your sweet bum back up here!
But now I will get back at watching Hollanda-Argentinaaaaaa.
Don't cry for me Argentinaaaaaaa.

Hehe (a). Maybe yes. Hey ablam benim, I know how to play that song on the piano
Anyway 0-0.. I think Holland played very very well. I never thought they'd be strong enough not to get beaten up by them Argentinas!

Played well? The only thing they did was drop themselves to get a penalty or free kick.. if that's what you call playing well :-/
