I find the burning a high disputable olay. Some sources say it was from Greek hand (logical), but others that I read gave (good!) reasons for Turkish.. however they do not come to mind :-S Sorry...

Vineyards, maybe you would like to read the book Kanatsız kuşlar by Louis De Bernieres. İt tells about this period and also about the Greeks and Turks living together. I read its english version and it is really beautifully written, without choosing a side (for as far as I realized

It is all down to taste But if I were to say someone famous who has balık et, I would probably name Shakira or Jennifer Lopez

Balık etli means that you are not skinny, but not fat either. It is like, when you hug someone, it is nice to actually FEEL that person, so you need to have some flesh But it doesnt mean fat!!

Quoting melti:

Does anybody have info about going to study in Istanbul at one of the Universities there? How can I do? When does registration start for the new semester(September/08)?

Thanks!!



You have to quickly investigate where you can prepare for the YÖS exam, as only passing this 'Foreign Student Exam' is a ticket into turkish university as a foreigner. Even for private univrsities you need this exam. The exam is in spring (when I took it it was in April) and the closure for university is just before summer, after the results of your exam are published.

Quoting thehandsom:

which was abolished by Ataturk.



To quote Atatürk on his thoughts about women-clothing:
(I translated it to English for other members to also understand)

Especially in smaller and bigger cities I saw that our women friends have their faces and eyes closed with thick cloth and very carefully. In this hot season especially I can guess how disturbing and painful this style must be for themselves. Male friends, this is kind of the result of our selfishness. Its necessary to be very pure and careful. However my respected friends, our women too, are understanding and wellthinking human beings like us.... They should show their faces to the world. May they see the world carefully with their eyes. There is nothing scary in that!

özellikle kasaba ve şehirlerde kadın arkadaşlarımızın yüzlerini ve gözlerini çok kalın ve dikkatle kapatmakta olduklarını gördüm. Özellikle bu sıcak mevsimde bu tarz kendileri için mutlaka acı ve rahatsızlık verici olduğunu tahmin ediyorum. Erkek arkadaşlar, bu biraz bizim bencilliğimiz eseridir. Çok temiz ve dikkatli olduğumuzun gereğidir. Fakat saygıdeğer arkadaşlar, kadınlarımız da, bizim gibi anlayan ve düşÃ¼nen insanlardır
". Onlara ahlâkın kutsal şeylerini aşılamak, millî ahlâkımızı anlatmak ve onların beyinlerini nur ile, temizlikle donatmak esası üzerinde bulunduktan sonra fazla bencilliğe gerek kalmaz. Onlar yüzlerini dünyaya göstersinler. Ve gözleriyle dünyayı dikkatle görebilsinler. Bunda korkulacak bir şey yoktur.

I left the bold sentence out, couldnt manage to translte fine enough. By the way, his speech is in çağdaş türkçe, ofcourse it wasnt like that when he spoke it

Quoting sonunda:

Deli-I'm happy to have you as my teacher!



You must be joking

Im still learning and in no position to teach, but recently found out that small translations on the website really do the trick! Because they always end up looking at which translation it should be, and you always learn from that!

Quoting MrX67:

İ think theres no place in any law system to put limits on some main human rights with social and political phobias...law rules written only with objective criterions for keep all diversities side by side in a social order..



İ think you didnt understand my post well.. Anyway I think you are too religious and I am too feminist (eventhough I am not really ) to agree upon this topic.. And just for the record, I have no social or political phobia whatsoever , Im just not a strong supporter of oppressing women!!

Please check my translation, 'kind fluent person'


I know how idiot that sounds, I wanted to put native but then realized you dont need to be native to be fluent, eh?
