You can´t imagine the curse phrases I keep overhearing from young girls. I can´t believe in my ears. Can Yucel was known for his blatant cursing and true, he was an unorthodox person to say the least. Nevertheless, not only was he a good chap but he was also a very good chat companion who would speak with perfect strangers about poetry and politics. His father was an icon statesman and took up a very important place in the cultural awakaning of Anatolia after the declaration of the republic. He was so much under influence of his. He was a very political person. I don´t know how I managed to switch to Can Yucel though.

I think Dutch is a very funny sounding language (in the positive sense) I don´t know where you got that voiced velar plosive : "g".

 

That ´g´ is not so hard to pronounce. Just imagine trying to get rid of some phlegm and spitting on the floor.... lol lol

 Yes, but this is not a proper place of course

Thanks for the translation by the way. I think Dutch is a very funny sounding language (in the positive sense) I don´t know where you got that voiced velar plosive : "g".

 

 I remember that sometimes I had a throatache from talking too much in class in primary cshool Especially after the weekends or holidays where I hadnt seen my friends much and thus talked less.

Yes, I believe I can do that. I practiced saying  Van Gogh. Especially when you repeat Gogh part several times people begin to think you are a pervert.

Try this tonguebreaker Vineyards:

 

Als in Graven graven gravengraven graven, graven graven gravengraven. lol

 

When in Graven dukes are digging dukesgraves, dukes are digging dukesgraves. (Or something like that.)

What about these:

Zehn Ziegen ziehen zehn Zentner Zement zum Zahnarzt, zum zementieren zerbrochener Zähne

Ten goats draw ten hundredweights cement to the dentist, to cement broken teeth.


Konstantinopolitanischeduddelsackpfeifenröhrlifabrikantentochter 
Daughter of the manufacturer of Constantinople bagpipe pipes

und of course :

Many years ago, an East German girl told me this:

Fischer´s Fritze fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischer´s Fritze.

Turkish tongue twisters sound relatively innocent but still difficult :

Þemsi Paþa pasajinda dili büzüþesiciler

Those whose tongues (I wish) will get puckered at Þemsi Paþa (usually covered) passageway

Dal kalkar kartal sarkar kartal kalkar dal sarkar.

Twig goes up the eagle dangles the eagle lifts off the twig gives.

 

These English sounding phrases actually mean something in Turkey, guess what.

 

- I run each teen me?  / Did you drink ayran
- A wet each team.      / Yes I drank
- I run each make is tea your sun each.  / Drink, if you want to drink ayran.
- Catch bar duck each teen?  /How many glasses of it did you drink
- On bar duck each team.  / I drank ten glasses of it
- Why high one why!   / Whoa, bastard

This is hilarious! I remember a sentence in English used to teach English people to curse in Polish. Never say "Tea, who you yeah bunny" in Poland while talking to someone

Well, I barely remember when I was drunk last time. Me and a friend had drunk 2 and a half bottles of tequila together and went on to drink three large glasses of beer for celebration. I remember asking for the third bottle from the barman and drinking it up. I actually said good bye world before sleeping.

 

These days, I always drink just one bottle and I never get drunk on it
