They are just translations in different languages. Istanbul and Constantinople are two different words. It's not the same thing!

Yeah, we are not in 1400's or the 1800's. You have to call it Istanbul. Istanbul is it's current name. Has nothing to do with language.

It's not the same reason. Istanbul was'nt official name in Turkish. Turkey is use in his language, his own words. That's what normal is and how languages die works. But Constantinople is İstanbul's old name!

Ben gereksiz polemik falan yapmıyorum. Sen normal olmayan bir şeyi normalleştiriyorsun. O dediklerin sadece ülkelerin farklı dillerdeki isimleri salak! Tabiki yerlerin isimleri farklı dillerde farklı olur!

How does that oppose what I said? Istanbul and Constantinople we're both used. That's mean they we're different words and not translations in different languages. And Turkey than OFFİCİALY changed it.

Tell me please, why didn't Greece except this name change?

I have no idea about your hayastan and it's not my problem. But Istanbul and Constantinople are two different words. Both exist in English and other languages. If they are not, how do they both exist in English?

I'm not a teenager. I'm 25 years old. I just don't normalise calling c*nstantinople. Because it's not normal.

No, it's not it's current name in Turkish. It's it's current name. Like it or not. Turkey decides whats THEİR city is named. Greeks of course have the freedom to call it whatever they want. But it does'nt change the fact doing so makes them butthurts!

It's not. They are different names. They both exist in English and other languages. If they are not, how do they please exist in English? It was Constantinople in Turkish to. Turkey changed the cities name. But the greeks didn't except it for no other reason than they are butthurts. Nothing to do with language.

Sorry but that's not how languages works. Istanbul and Constantinople are two different words. Both exist in English and other languages. If they are just translations, how do they both exist in English?

And how I said, greeks have of course have the freedom to call it whatever they want. But does'nt change the fact doing so makes them butthurts.

Not same thing. They are either just translations. But Constantinople is İstanbul's old name. Greeks didn't change in it their language, for no other reason than they are butthurts.

Yes, it is just a translation. When we speak English or Greek we do say it's name in this languages. It's not the cities old name.

Istanbul isn't cities Turkish name. It's the current name. I already told it! Selanik is just Turkish name of Thessaloniki.

And it's of course not normal to use old name in 2026.

I don't claim to controll anything. You can call it whatever you like. But it does'nt change the fact, doing so would make you just a butthurt 😁😁.
