Hi,

I am looking for an online ETYMOLOGY dictionary of turkish words (with explanations in English).

 

Any idea where i can find it?

Googling it seems not to be enough.

Txs.

heey.

 

What does "bili 10 mu?" mean? I assume it´s something like "can a bill be 10?"

 

Thanks

It is called "raping Turkish". It must be "biliyor musun?"

...so this is why some Turkish people have veryyy strange accents, they learn English like this! Is Törkiş really the best way to write this... maybe Tırkiş is better...

 

I like our accent {#emotions_dlg.razz} At least it is better than Scotland´s accent.

I don´t think we use it that way. It never ever makes me think "hindi = turkey", not even once. I have never ever witnessed any joke based on such a resemblence so far.

 

Hind-istan = Land of "Hind"

Hint-li = From "Hind"

I am sure if we had a match with India and if we won, our press would joke about the name of the country. It would be same with Egypt. Possible headlines would be like these:

1) Dün menüde hindi vardı.

2)Dün gece mısır patlattık.

 

I am sure about this because people are same everywhere.

Only Turks are calling " India" as " Hindistan" but their international name is " India " whereas our international name [as English is used commonly used all over the world] is " Turkey ".

 I wouldnt mind calling india with the name that  Indians would want me to call. But I havent got any name change request from them yet

The main reason I support this is that some silly people are trying to take micky out of our country´s international name , otherwise I wouldnt mind any name.

However I also most of the time had to use that name because it has already settled in people´s minds. It is too difficult to change the old habits but NOT impossible.

Or when we make Turkish most common language then the problem will sorted out automaticly. Turkish insallah one day shall be most spoken [known] language in the world. That is my dream.

 

 

It was once a world language and it can be again.

I know it´s a neutral word these days. I was just teasing. Besides, I think it is very usual to divide people into "us" and "them" with the means of language.

 

You are not easy to tease, gokuyum.

 

You can always tease me I thought it was a complain and I wanted to assure you that it was not a bad word.

I am sad also because you call me yabancı. Doesn´t yaban mean wilderness and desert?

 

Seriously, is there an old pejorative meaning in the word?

Yaban also means uncivilised and primitive. It is same thing with calling old Greeks other people barbarians. But we don´t use "yaban" word frequently. I think it dies. And yabancı lost its old meanings and it became "foreigner" It is not a rude thing to say now.
