Quoting qdemir: "disko" is an informal word produced through blending.
Can you guess which words they are? |
It comes from Greek 'disko' and 'thèkos', which in nowadays English would translate well as 'record library'.
At least, if we are talking about the same disko

No. We aren't talking about the same "disko".
Anyone who completed his military service duty in Turkey knows the word. It is a blending of "disiplin" and "koğuşu">disko

There are many contractions with "ne" (what)
n'aber = ne haber (what's up)
n'oldu = ne oldu (what happaned)
n'olur = ne olur (what happens or please)
n'ap-mak = ne yapmak (what to do)
n'apsak = ne yapsak (what shall we do)
n'apalım = ne yapalım (what should we do)
etc.
Future tense suffix -ecek/-acak is contracted in the colloquial speech in many ways
ex:
ne yapacaksın (what are you going to do) becomes
n'apçan/n'apcan/n'apacan/n'apıcan/n'apçen/n'apıcen
ne olacak (what is it going to be)
n'olcak/n'olacak/n'olucak
etc.
and "ile" (with) usually turns into a suffix
senin ile > senin-le (with you)
benim ile > benim-le (with me)
etc.
