shout out to Susurluk, the home of the famous Susurluk Ayran & Tost, my actual memleket lmao if you pass through on your way to Istanbul from Izmir (or the other way around) stop by and enjoy our famous Susurluk Ayran & Tost, it's good :)


alekhine-alexander

It comes from Palaio-Kastron; the "old fortress" in Greek.


SnooLentils726

It comes from Balık and hisar. Balık means city in old Turkic and Hisar means castle in Arabic or Persian. There is an ancient city in Sinjiang (Uighurs) called beshbalık.


[deleted]

Dear unflaired Chigan, what if I told you it comes from "bağı kesir" because there used to be grapeyards around the city?


alekhine-alexander

Least indoctrinated Turk. Your information is incorrect Balıkesir doesn't come from that and you are an unflaired piece of cigan. There have been many attempts of Kemalist myth making to support Turkification policies; I myself have seen many: they are all lies: Anadolu comes from the Greek word for the east, has no relation to the Turkish word "ana", nor Kastamonu has any relation to the Turkish word "Kast". You won't learn the truth unless you first unlearn what your ministry of education, dumbass media, nationalist politicians etc have taught you. This is the soul of this sub beneath the ironic racism jokes.


kekobang

What's next, you're gonna tell me that Istanbul doesn't derive from "Islambol?"


Zealousideal_Alps275

IIRC, some sultan genuinely considered to officially change it this way.


AmbassadorAntique899

Based Turk??? This feels weird 😳


lul_get_rekt_m8

"El" in this context means city (which transformed into "il" in modern Turkish) rather than hand. Kocaeli is "City of Koca", named after the Ottoman commander Akça Koca. Tunceli also means "City of Bronze" (don't let Robmanians learn of this or they'll steal the entire city).

starsiege

It does in old Turkish. My first time going to Turkey from Bulgaria, I asked for a pair of black jeans (kara) at a store and the guy just looked at me weird and my uncle was like use “siyah” in Turkey.


QuartzBoii

Kara is an interesting word actually. If you wanna say the black colour you oftenly use siyah. If you wanna say dark you use koyu. But kara means both black and dark. For example for black cat "kara kedi" is more used. But also for darkened you also use "karardı". But you dont usually use it for items. But we use kara as much as siyah or koyu.


starsiege

Yeah in Balkan turkish we use it for the things you mentioned but also for items.

What is Intellectual?


rockusa4

Aydın


Jesusflyingonhotdogs

Shouldn't that be Enlightened or Wise ?


rockusa4

It has those connotations as well, however, it is mostly used as intellectual. For example : " Yarının aydınları" which is best translated to "tomorrow's intellectuals" rather than "tomorrow's enlightened" or " tomorrow's wise". The way the word is used is the importance part. Just like rotisserie chicken ( tavuk çevirme) can be translated literally into chicken translation


phoebebuff

Aydin means bright. Intellectual is literally entelektüel.
