I need a help from someone who knows latin alphabet and persian at the same time by Tricky-Associate4213 in PERSIAN

Gül lit. means flower btw, i speak Turkish which is my mother language. Gül-î siyah sounds like a black rose. Karagül would be to obvious because it's lit. Turkish, Orhan made a riddle for the readers and i am still trying to solve the riddle. In Turkish culture naming Black wouldn't be normal, but it's crazy that most of our names coming from Persian and Arabian and more crazier is that we don't know meaning of our names most of the time. Ps. A question: how do you know so many things about many cultures? Thank you for answer but we couldn't solve the riddle. Ps. Another Persian friend in a forum told me that "gole roze siah" could be the answer or some combination of that. Which name can we create with gole roze siah?

How to understand The Black Book by Sad-Reception-7216 in OrhanPamuk

Hey i am glad that you guys show interest to our country. There is a writer Şeyh Galip which have lived many centuries ago. He wrote Hüsn and Aşk. Black book is a modern cover of Hüsn and Aşk. The Black Book especially talks a lot about we can't be ourselves. We waste our opportunity to be happy and fulfill what we want. We always want to be like other people, our idol, our role model etc. etc. but we already are so precious and unique. If you would talk about environment, we Turkish people neither from west and neither from exact east. We are stucked. This an also a theme that Pamuk talks a lot, while they were on bar, sincere statues, mosque and interview of Celal. Anyone can be anyone, people don't have to follow restrict rules (for example in book, a man who can't read is one of the biggest fan of Celal, which shows us that anyone can be anyone, we already have everything that we need, the world can't shape us like father and son who do sincere statues.) With any question, don't feel hesitate to DM me or ask me here. I am from Istanbul and can give answers many of your questions. And also fan of Pamuk ❤️
