Don't have milk in CY...you'll have to have condensed milk.

[denizaksulu]

has anyone heard of or used this expression?

my old man used to use it, back in the day, to signify, i seem to recall, something done in a rush or slap-dash.

wot does it mean? where does it come from?

thanx in advance... no bollox, i'll thank u after.

Pata Küta! As in the phrase "Pata küta girişdi genne, gırdı ağzını burnunu pezzeengin!"

Hope Deniz translate it to English...

... but lemme try... He/she attacked to him/her with a clattering noise!

So, it doesn't sound like a slapdash-ak thingy!

With you around who needs me. You got it right first time.
Basicly, doing something with a lot of noise. Perhaps even with the aid of a stick (as in Pataklamak=beating).
I think we used to say, 'pata küt getirdiler genni'. They brought him here by the scruff of his neck(with extra excouragement).

"Paldır küldür" ünan garışdırıng "pata küta" yı gibime gelir be Dengiz... ma onutdung olan Kıprıs Türkcasını eyideeennn?

Not much difference Insan. I reckon one is a corruption of the other. If you could read Ottoman Turkish, you might agree with me. But just in case, I will check my ,bible'.

According to my Redhouse (original)

pat(a) küt = noise of repeated blows. end or argument methinks.

E pat küt, pat küt başımızı gazan etding olaaannn! Zoru görünca da palas pandıras toparlandıng gidesing buraşdan... ne zaman ki gördüng o dallama paldır küldür girdi içeri da sövdü sanga; pata küta girişding genne!

Hap deli hup deli bunnar!

What ZoC needs to understand that the root of the word "pata" is "pat"... what's the translation of pat in English... Thud! and the root of the word "küta" is "küt"... in English, Wham! Whack!

So, the most correct translation of "pata küta" should be "Thud wham!"...

"THUD WHAM BAMB at midnight!" says English i think... how do GCs use this expression?

Pata kioutou?

You boys can stop now, Bananiotoglu answered the question already.

Another way to put it: One way or another, the job was done.
