I guess if you pronounce it in your head though - knowing how C is pronounced - you'd be close to jungle, wouldn't you? Or maybe jingle?! After all, Christmas is coming!

Here are my C's - I think these only work if the "ordinary native English man on the street" understands how C is pronounced in Turkish.

ceket
cengel
centilmen
cin
cip
cokey

Also it is understood how to pronounce the C, I would also add blucin to the B's.

Quoting cyrano:

And this, daydreamer? Thank you very much in advance.

"hi wot u up 2 owt good get bk"
"hi babe wot u up 2 owt nice get bk"



1st one - Hi babe, what are you up to? Any thing good? Get back to me.

2nd one - Hi babe, what are you up to? Any thing nice? Get back to me.

This looks like mobile phone language unfortunately!

Bod, I just have to say, I love the way you are learning Turkish by talking to your dog! It's such a great idea!

I won't volunteer to do the whole dictionary, but why doesn't everyone take a letter from the dictionary each? i.e. I'm more than happy to go through my Turkish dictionary and tell you every word beginning with "A" that would make sense to a native English speaker.

Quoting AlphaF:

There is a difference of opinion here...

My source tells me "Merhaba" is a greeting word of Persian origin, roughly meaning " no harm can come from me to you...."

A friend on the panel thinks it is a greeting word originating from Arabic, meaning "joy to everyone...."

Both are nice...could not verify either



That's very interesting. I particularly like the Persian version.
