Sheftali becomes Greek just by adding an "a" at the end of it and calling it "Sheftalia"

Doner Kebab is Greek.

Hummuz becomes Greek just by swapping the "z" with an "s".

The Greeks/GCs are not only stealing other peoples dishes and claiming it to be Greek but they are also stealing the Turkish language and calling that Greek as well.

In other words, we are not all Cypriots, we are all Greeks.

Is there no end to Greeks thievery? :roll:


How ungrateful these Turks are! After Greeks gave them so many words to satisfy their brain needs, they complain that the Greeks have stolen a few words to satisfy their stomach needs.

These are some of the words the Greeks gave the Turks:
Ekonomi, matematik, geometri, trigonometri, psikoloji, astronomi, astroloji, kozmos, politika, demokrasi, otokrasi, otoriter, filozofi, teokrasi, teoloji, antropoloji, biyoloji, kimya, fizik, antagonizm, strateji, taktik, planet, jimnastik, pedoloji, ansiklopedi, kibernetik, sibernetik, organizasyon, sistem, organizma, laik, etc, etc..

And these are some of the words the Turks gave the Greeks, for which they complain about:
Dolma, burek, şeftali, kebap, yoğurt, kasap, pezevenk, kavgacı, kabadayı, haşhaş, siktir, etc..

:lol: :lol: :lol:



My fav word is kilid/kilit in its Turkish form. Any guesses. If your memory is good, I did mention it more than a year ago.

We don't say yoğurt .... we say yiaourti ... that is quite different and since yoghurt was invented many times over by nearly all tribes of mankind (natural spoilage of milk) neither the name nor the food can be ascribed to any one lingo-nationality!

I would not be surprised if all the other words, if put under the linguistic-microscope fell short of truly being attributed to these nomads ...

Checkout the word 'chelate'. The Turkish words mean lock, to lock.In biochemistry its a term used with enzyme activity. When an enzyme locks on to a substrate. Can be interchange with the word 'binding'. Its a word I like.

Well you were talking about it in the Turkish form without referring to the Greek, then moved straight on to enzymes (and don't you dare suggest anything about Enzymes without first attributing the Greek origins of the term) ....

Maybe you were born into a Turkish family Miltiades .....


NO, I hate to say so but he is right and you are wrong, doubeshi and dorcha are common tavli terms in Cyprus, my grand father used them my father did and I do when playing tavli but that does not mean we are TURKISH just like Italians use the word corner and offside in football.
