Yok!

Malta Yok!

[bill cobbett]

Forgive me for saying so but you lot are useless (apologies to those who have tried to help). So far I can ask for a beer, say thank you and tell the barman I love him

For the first time in many years we will also be travelling from the Free Areas to Paphos District. Will we need to get our passports stamped/visas? Can any member recommend a phrase book to translate from Cypriot Greek to Paphitian Greek please?

Mrs c is determined to travel to the Occupied North again this summer and She who must be obeyed must be obeyed. So I thought I'd learn a few words of Tr. to try out on our northern brothers. Can any kind member translate the following please - In the Cypriot dialect of Turkish (if there is such a thing)

Hello

Goodbye

Thank You

A beer please

Two beers please

Re - bring more beers

A Turkish coffee please ( sweet )

Where is the toilet ?

----

The rest is to be taken with a pinch of humour please : -

Turkish Army out of Cyprus !

Have you lived in my father's house for long ?

Who did you steal this house from ?

Have you got kochans ?

Hello = Merhaba

Goodbye = allahasimarladik

Thank You = tessekkur ederim

A beer please = bir bira lutfen

Two beers please = iki bira lutfen

Re - bring more beers = daha bira getirirmisin

A Turkish coffee please ( sweet ) bir Turk kahvesi lutfen (shekerli)

Where is the toilet ? Tuvalet nerededir?

Hi Bill

I have compiled a short list of expressions, which should enable you to communicate with anyone in Paphos and Peyia; I am sure there are plenty more:

'Ow yer going, my kid?'

'Douw cum from Burmingam?'

'Cor blimely, luvaduck'

'Ave yer got a lite, Boy'


There are a few people who speak some foreign language here, but I doubt you will meet any


I must warn you, you will also see many female holidaymakers, walking around; figure by Baywatch, face by Crimewatch!

Ayisiktir = I love you

With proper punctuation marks that would read "The crescent is light". Brilliant Kurupetos.

i never thought my turkish was that good until, my local shop keeper said something to my hubby in turkish. i said to hubby did i understand that correctly? after whispering to him what i thought had been said, he confirmed that i was correct. can you imagine how red our shop keepers face was then. valueable lesson learnt.
