Kikapu, I dont know where you hail from but you must be one of those who believe that "Ignorance is Bliss". There is nothing wrong with learning how our parents or grand parents lived and communicated with each other. Just as I was trying to make up my mind whether you are TC or GC you come up with this statement. Most likely you are no Cypriot at all. Then I've been wrong before. Why deny the past. It happened. It was spoken. What is your problem. We all have similarities and differences. You must be the only person to deny this. To start with, the love for Cyprus and the food we eat, albeir with different "accents".

Is it a full moon today, or what.??

Denizaksulu, please read my post one more time, slowly, and let the words sink in, one at a time, then you will get the joke.

By the way, for a moment I thought you were from Turkey, because I know a small place near Antalya, by the name "AKSU".

Aksu is quite a common name in the Turkic world. It was an ancient capital of a Turkic empire in central asia. The city is still extant in modern Turkistan. It is a simple name hence easily adopted as a place name wher running water can be found. There must be quite a few Aaksu's around.

Lena; It could mean "The ocean from Aksu (in the heart of Turkistan)". But I am not from Turkistan. I think thats all you need to know.

Thanks for the translation, I would never have guessed. Ha ha ha. Where did you learn your Turkish from? Surprise me and say its not from a tourist phrase book. That would be progress.
