We call them citrus in Cypriot Greek and nerantzia in Greek Greek.

What do you mean by "nerantzia" in Greek Greek"? Could this be referring to the type of orange? My Greek-Greek tells me they're "portokalia."

Shouldn't that be .... "portokaliakia"

Mine was a rather silly, stupid joke. I hope yours was too.

Come on boys and girls, this is a serious cultural discussion, but then we hope it keeps OrPh out of trouble. (we hope)

Are we talking about 'kitromila' or even 'jitromila'?

Kafenes has smelled food

What was a Jitromila? Jitro = day, slavic languages(at least Czech)

Does it mean 'my day'?

Deniz, KITROMILA = KITRO (citrus) MILA (apples) = TURUNJ

Jitromila is Cypriot.

Interesting , Kafenes. I thought you were in the mode 'joke'.


In Czech mila Irenka = my dear Irena

dobre Jitro = good day

I put two and two together and got six. Just a coincidence. Your lady originating from a Slav country I assumed..............wrongly.

Deniz, when it comes to food, I'm never in the mode 'Joke'.
