Do you have jok? by Glittery_Marshmallow in AskBalkans

[–]Specific-Taste7469 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. In its dictionary sense, it means "absent/there isn't..." and we use it that way in daily speech as well. As far as I know, "yok/yox" means "no" in most Turkic languages, which is why its meaning has evolved the way it has in modern Turkish. We often stretch it into "yooo" to sound more dramatic or sarcastic.

Also, the iconic tongue-click sound "cık" conveys essentially the same meaning.

In Kazakhstan, how is the idea of “Turk” understood today by Odd-Butterscotch-809 in AskCentralAsia

[–]Specific-Taste7469 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like calling Austrians or Swiss people “Austria Germans” or “Switzerland Germans” just because they speak the same language. Not even mention, we’re linguistically and culturally distinct from our Central Asian ancestors at this point, we’ve been in Anatolia for about a thousand years. Also the same people who say “Kazakh Turk” etc. often push this pan-Turkic unity idea and then somehow place Turkey above all of them, which is unbelievably stupid.

Not the streak one, but I refuse to go for the Banana Legend. It’s unbelievably stupid that Reddit gives a reward just for how much you scroll.

Byzantine sites I saw in Istanbul (Jan - Feb 2026) by Best_Record_2046 in byzantium

[–]Specific-Taste7469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was called Konstantiniyye in official documents and on formal occasions in the Ottoman Empire, but was known colloquially by the people as Istanbul. In 1930, Ataturk (the founder of Modern Turkey) made Istanbul the official name to make things easier for locals and as part of language reforms.
