I was looking up my dictionaries to be sure about the sense of "arrogant". I was given two synonms of arrogant: haughty and disdainful. Then when I checked the sense of "haughty" I came across the following sample usage which is worth to be mentioned:

"A haughty British aristocrat" (Oxford Dictionary of English)

So, I wonder if being "arrogant, haughty, disdanful" is one of the British customs.

Quoting aenigma x:

Quoting cyrano:

Turkish seems not to differentiate "British" and "English" much. "Britanyalı", except in particular cases such as historical and geographical, is hardly used. We use mostly "Ingiliz". After all most of you are the same and arrogant, regardless of whether you are biritish or english, or whether you speak the same english language or not.

I would like to have seen the reaction if we had spoken about Turkish people in this manner...

For my part, I wouldn't give any reaction since I have nothing to do with nationality and being nationalist. You mustn't expect me, who had read Baudelaire having strongly despised his own nation, The French, to show any reaction, however manner you speaks in about Turks. I may or may not agree with your comment on Turks, but this is another story.

I don't think politeness is one of your strong points either cyrano.When somebody asks a reasonable question in the language section I don't think they expect a response such as yours.

You are still, yes still, breaking my heart, yes my heart Joey. I will never forget this, nor will I forgive you!

Hi guys,

I know "seni seviyorum" means "i love you" but how do you say "i love you too" like responding to someone telling you that they love you...

Thanks!

ekd. x

Though it is very hard for me to translate due to the fact that no ones lately told me she loved me, I will still translate. Here it goes:

"Ben de seni seviyorum."

de = too

Even she has broken my heart! I just can't perceive why everyone, including my Roxanne, has broken my heart lately! I think no one likes me and wants me to be here.

Incidentally, the same situation aplies to "The United Kingdom". We hardly use "Birleşik Krallık".

Quoting cyrano:

Whats up with you cyrano? Though I am not English I am British so I suppose your comments are aimed at me as well. I think its time somebody planted "The Kick" in your profile on your posterior

do not worry joey!we call you "iskoÃ§"we have specific names for all british people.iskoÃ§,ingiliz,gallerli etc...why do you insist on calling you "biritanyalı"?

But the question in question was if we differentiate "British" and "English", not if we call The Scots "İskoÃ§lar", the Irish "İrlandalılar", etc.

You both really broke my heart! Really! Whereas I always presumed and observed that both of you were very polite and kind people. I have just seen, unfortunately, that I was wrong. I was just wondering why everybody lately has broken my heart! I always thought that I am a good, very very good, though very ugly, person!

Well... I don't think I will forgive you! I can't be angry with you, but with myself, because I should not have expected you to be humble and kind. You both are British, after all.

Aslan, I am here! But but... you know I am penniless! Perhaps that's why I appear around here right now!

Ehi!

All arogant are we?

No, as I said above, most of you! There remains little of you. I believe that you are among the last ones. No offence please!
