You’d better do something about your Turkish Zan or the next time you return to the “TRNC” they’ll be calling you a ChAli!

Limp

Are you calling Zan names now? Tut, tut, tut.

I carried on from GRs sentence so it can't be zan I am calling names.

Biliyorum, jest yapdim, o kadar.

Your dad might have the same Red-House as me. I will check-it.

Sorry Zan, its not even Turkish. Rather Ottoman, from Arabic. Basically means 'likewise'. Me showing off again.

No need to be sorry gardas......We all know my Turkish is not that great but it only takes a little crack and people like GR are in there like a shot.....Desperate really

Its an amusing game. The expression is oft used in polite circles, I am wondering if there is a Turkish word for it. Maybe Eric dayi will come up with something.

The nearest to that would be "aynen (size de/sana da)" I think.

Similar, but does not feel the same.

aynen , is Arabic. size de / sana da are closest.
