However the colloquial meaning of meraklis in Cypriot is a man , mostly , who loves his meze , his drink , his car his cloths and generally any of his activities. He is also considered a nice company to be with , a jovial character who likes to be around people , in short anyone who is passionate about all that he does , so Zan is a HATE meraklis , or bluntly put a bullshitter meraklis !!
The same would be applicable to the so called Paphitis and the other piss pot whose name I forget .
Get the meaning of Meraklis Zan ?
Same as in Turkish then I suppose. Merakli. I had an inkling it might be but was not overly merakli just curious. I am merakli about the future of my people though and getting back our rights under the Zurich agreement. Did you answer my question as to whether you are in favour of that malakis?????
