Mainland Turks do not use the word "gavur",they don't know the meaning of it...It is definately not a word of Turkish origin...It could've easily come to us from Greek,like a lot of other words!


I beg to differ Bir. I had a book once, written by a guy called de Busbecq (or something like that). He was the Ambassador of the Holy Roman Empire in the time of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman/ Suleyman the LawGıver. He refers to an occasion of when he was addressed by a Yenicheri as 'Hey Gidi Gavur'. When I was reading it I kind of imagined how it would sound and that the Ambassador remembered it in his journal. I have heard of the word in Izmir at the market place when the karpuz seller pulled a knife on me. The reason being was that my wife had a cross around her neck. They thought I was a 'gavur'. I nearly had to prove myself but there were ladies present. :oops:

I am trying to find the Ambassadors name, it was so long ago.


I stand corrected...Thanks,Deniz...

But what is this story about the knife wielding Karpuz seller??? If you mentioned it before i must've missed it... :?

Hey insan!

Rum the Scottish Isle; Rum the distilled spirit; and Rum the Greek -- what do they all have in common?
