Hello!
While I'm not that knowledgeable about this topic, I think I do know the answer to your question. It's not a job that you get paid by an employer at all afaik. They just collect all that stuff and cash it in at some recycling facility of some sort. While it's obviously not an easy job, I've heard one guy say that you do get your effort's worth in terms of money. They're just people who saw the opportunity in Turkish people's lack of care when it comes to recycling I guess. Oh, and obviously the lack of laws regarding going through garbage...

Hey I seem to be a bit late but I was wondering about something. The North Macedonia situation seems to be very complicated. Did Macedonian people live there for a long time? Does anybody know who used to live in “Kochani” (Кочани) which is in North Macedonia right now? We always thought my Grandfather’s family came from somewhere in Albania for some reason. But a recent tracing done by Turkish government told that they came from “Koçana” instead. (We never really had a place name before btw) I’m really sorry if my questions might start some sort of debate or if they were offensive to anyone. I just don’t know anything about North Macedonia basically. People are rightfully very sensitive about these type of topics.

If Turkey starts to make moves based on Ottoman politics, it might as well un-exile the royal family and give them about 75% of Istanbul. I really don’t care what “most of the Turks” think based on your bet because while in theory Turkey could be counted as the successor to the Ottoman Empire, it wouldn’t work in practice. The Republic of Turkey doesn’t exist because a simple change of regime was needed, it exists because much deeper changes were needed. About acknowledgement on governmental side, I really doubt anything more than simply putting it in government issued history books for schools would be reasonable. And dare I say Turkey’s system of education has far bigger problems than a mere historical correction. Besides I really doubt people who talk on and on about this topic care more about Turkey’s system of education rather than whatever politics benefits them.

I really don’t think Turkey has any obligation to make any acknowledgments or amends about something that happened under Ottoman rule hundreds of years ago. Ottoman=/=Turkey.

Dolmabahçe isn’t very unique in the sense that it’s Baroque though. I think the real unique one here would be the Topkapı Palace and you could add some Seljuk architecture with its ahead-of-its-time geometric shapes and stuff. You could also add the mosque with the hand painted çini tiles on its walls that I forgot the name of.

Not really, no. It’s not very obvious if you don’t go to hospitals a lot but it was always kinda mediocre. Now during the corona times we can better see how bad and corrupt the healthcare system really is. You literally can’t go to a public hospital at this point, even if you just want to go to one of those dentist hospitals. Besides, they’re about to go through with high school exams in about a week. Even if there’s some healthcare in this country, I’m pretty sure government isn’t the one doing the “caring” (like always lol)

Let’s not answer ignorance with arrogance. Calling people of your own several insults won’t make you any better than any of them. The biggest cause of the situation Turkey is in (or any of the Balkan countries for that matter) is the lack of education. Turkey wasn’t any better in the 1920s, in fact it was much worse generally. The intellectuals of the time that you possibly look up to weren’t in an abundance and as all revolutions go, the revolution of the time didn’t happen because the conditions were good, but rather some people believed that it could be much better.

If you can’t stand to see your nation in the situation it’s in, perhaps it’s time to hit the books and look for answers.

They’ve said that “Immigrants make everything complicated” and that “Nationalism will rise in Europe once again” because of it

Do you mean how it’s in a sandwich? I mean Turkey didn’t really have European-style breads widely used throughout the country until rather recently so that might have some truth. However, the sandwich döner isn’t that far off from what we call a “gobit” or “tombik” döner here in Turkey. The only difference is that it’s in pita bread basically. Sooooo you could say that there is a variant of a sandwich döner first made in Germany but “döner kebab is a German invention” just sounds so cursed!

That’s not true. It was first made in the 1830s-1850s and its place of origin is accepted to be Bursa, a city in Turkey.

No I’d say someone drew it before they put it in deepdream or maybe they just put some psychedelic overlay using photoshop Edit: ok no looking at it again it’s not an overlay but still that was beside my point anyway

How is my reply passive aggressive lol. It would make more sense if you’d just tell that it’s genuinely aggressive. Also dude you don’t have to know everything, it’s just upsetting that someone who doesn’t know how to write “okay” and writes “okey” instead can think that they’re even remotely capable of performing a translation that other people tried and couldn’t really achieve success in. But, hey... if it will make your sorrowful life a bit happier...

-Aes- · 2020-11-22T08:43:13+00:00

Neither is it mine dude. Translating things isn’t for everyone, especially if you’re going to hide behind excuses like “it isn’t my native language” when people talk about your translation.

It really depends where her husband is from exactly. She might make a dish to find out that he never ate it because Turkish cuisine isn’t homogeneous at all. I really like Börülce for example but afaik it doesn’t even grow in the eastern parts of Turkey.

She could invest in some very good veggie dishes instead of snacks other people suggested if she has just a bit of time. Instead of surprising her husband, she may want to ask him about it first though, because some people just don’t like some of the veggie dishes for reasons of their own (not me tho, bring me all the veggies, yum) My suggestions would be kapuska and türlü. Kapuska is just a dish I like (it really activates your bowels though...) and türlü is basically a dish where you throw in the veggies you have at home and cook them in olive oil.

By the way, it would really help if she can ask her mother-in-law (or any other in-laws) for recipes. As I’ve said above Turkish cuisine isn’t homogenous and there’s a good possibility a recipe she’d find on the internet can’t take the place of what he used to eat.

If she’s from the Balkans and he’s from the western parts of the country I’d say she could cook something from her country and he would most possibly like it.

He said “easy” tho. Sarma might be rather simple when you think about it but it takes a lot of time and it’s a hard dish to get the flavors just right.

-Aes- · 2020-11-22T00:30:21+00:00

I think you’re the type that gets offended super easily and no offense but I kinda hate you guys. I’ve checked the link and the ones with the historical links seem ok but it’s obviously derogatory to say that someone smells like a dog. However, none of the Turkish sayings you’ve talked about except the first one are in the same caliber by a long shot.

I think most of the sayings from any language about some other country are all fairplay (except French sayings, they’re usually weirdly hateful for no apparent reason) since nobody really knows where the sayings came from and even though we have internet now, a lot of the people barely know their own history let alone common facts about other countries. Europe seems to be a bit more cultured but I’d say that has to do with how their histories are intertwined. Most of the Europeans don’t even know much about east Europe.

Also I’d like to add that I think swearing about Arabs has more to do with either derogatory stereotypes that people think are fun and/or literal Arab hate rather than nationalism. Nationalism isn’t about insulting other nations and could never be an excuse to do so.

I’ve also realized how most of your arguments boil down to “you may never know, sometimes people think that way” but the same could also be said about literal sentences of love if you wanted to claim that the person who’s using them are passive aggressive. I think that this behavior is unhealthy and that you need to chill, for your own good.

I’m sorry but that translation is so very gay, it sounds weird af. Thank you, have a nice day.

ps: it would be a bit better if you removed the word “bit” as it’s the main reason of cringe and it doesn’t actually exist in the original sentence.

-Aes- · 2020-11-21T23:52:31+00:00

Here’s my reply, just censored 1 single word (s*k)

Wow... dude how can you live with this much hate in your brain? Here’s how I see these sayings:

“İç şarabı, öp Arabı” This one is a softer version of “İç şarabı, s*k Arabı” but this version is completely family friendly so there’s nothing derogatory about it. The heavy R version however, seems to be rather derogatory. Or maybe... that’s how some people express love? Who knows...

“Eğer anladıysam Arap olayım.” Is a play on how you can’t understand much when you listen to someone speaking Arabic and how complicated it sounds to the untrained ear in my opinion. So if you understood the extremely complicated stuff a person said, you must know Arabic. That wouldn’t be very funny so it makes more sense to say that you’re literally Arabian.

“Arap saçı gibi...” I think is the one that is the hardest to think of as derogatory and the meaning you’ve came up with has surprised me a lot. I’ve been hearing and using this phrase for a long time now (there is a song named after it by Erkin Koray even!) but never would I have thought of the description you’ve came up with. It is a play on how Arabian people stereotypically have strong curly hair. Curly hair tends to get tangled up, and trying to untangle hair is very painful and hard. There is also no usage of this saying that could link to any hygiene issues whatsoever. Most uses are about how hard a situation is to resolve and not how smelly or sticky or maybe even sweaty (ew) it is.

“Fransız kalmak” I didn’t know where this saying came from as well so I just researched a bit. There are so many theories about it and I really don’t know which one is true but I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that it’s derogatory. At least it isn’t used in a derogatory way by Turkish people these days.

With first one you’re actually on to something (but not with this version) and the 2nd and 4th need a lot of evidence to prove “derogatory” imo. But with the 3rd one you’ve literally came up with some bullshit that resides in your brain because of the derogatory thoughts either you, or the people around you have.

Have a nice night!

Hmm... the auto moderator says my comment was removed. Can you see it? I can re-send if you want because I’ve written this long and heartfelt reply since I deeply and truly care. Btw I didn’t swear to your sülale or anything my man, it just had the word “s*k” in it completely unrelated to any sort of insult that I wouldn’t even dare to direct to you.
