Bill, my Turkish isn't great but I do know some very useful travel phrases that will help you win lots of friends on the other side.

1. When offered a handshake, say this:

Götüne elini sok

2. When your waitress brings you your order say:

Simdi de sikimi yala!

3. When introduced to a Turkish gentleman it is customary to say:

Anani siktim

4. When introduced to a Turkish lady, it is customary to say:

Sik emmeyi severmisin?

5. When asked for your passport at the border say:

Sok gotiena

6. If you are unfortunate enough to be threatened with violence, try this phrase to calm the situation:

Sicharim agazina!

7. As a last resort try this:

Ananin amina cam dikerim, golgesinde seni sikerim trans!

If you need the translations I will be more than happy to provide them if our Turkish friends don't feel inclined.

Magnus
Are you trying to get bill murdered?

Merhaba Iceman -
Tessekkur ederim for the nicer phrases.

The way a language sounds and looks when written, can affect the nature of the speakers.

In my opinion, irrespective of the Cyprus problem, I find the Turkish language particularly unattractive to listen to; and I do not like those hooks on some letters.

Language on the whole remains a beautiful thing ....

Our dear O. I fear I must share a sneaking suspicion that some of the suggested phrases above ain't that "beautiful".

bill c. .... locked up in the Occupied Areas for foul, offensive language

Language stirs emotions. It can soothe or fire-up ... as such it is a beautiful thing ..... it's my ding-a-ling!

A full traslation of your writings is on the way to ADMIN.

Grow up Magnus.

You are right Bill Cobbett, Magnus' expressions are beyong contempt. He has surely hit rock bottom.

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 ?

Bill you're going about this language-learning thing completely the wrong way. Every schoolboy knows that the first words you need to learn are the following:

Sh-t
B-m
Pr-ck
T-ts
F-ck
C-nt
W-nk-r

Fill in the vowels as you see fit. Once you know these words in a new language the rest is easy - gets your ear in, you see..............

Perhaps you've filled in the vowel blanks inappropriately Deniz, wash your mouth out with soap if that is the case..........

Perhaps I was wrong about you. I imagined you being of a mature age, and being a good example to the yougsters.

Perhaps in his personal life, Talisker has been under a bad influence.
