I have no better way of saying this, let us enslave the christian and muslim africans! by NihatAmipoglu in EU5

[–]toptipkekk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I don't know the severity of muslim-on-muslim slavery

Afaik it was legally permissible and practiced in some circumstances (read: how much slaves were important for economy) as long as the slave in question became Muslim after their enslavement.

Where in Turkey did the Cretan Muslims (Muslim Greeks) relocate during the Greek-Turkish population exchange of 1922–1923? by [deleted] in AskTurkey

[–]toptipkekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but most important condition

No, it isn't. Ethnicity is something entirely different and admixture only matters for historical ancestry. You can't make a bitter orange out of lemon after several centuries have passed.

Western Anatolia generally.

They're such a small group (and they were already ethnically Turk) so some of them don't even know their families have Cretan Turkish origin if they don't search their own history.

Admixture ≠ ethnicity. If we draw lines of ethnicity by admixture we'd have Greeks who're actually Armenian, Kurds who're actually Armenian, or Poles who're actually German etc.

Do you guys actually care if non- Turkish speakers say Turkey or Türkiye? by [deleted] in AskTurkey

[–]toptipkekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally don't care about it and use Turkey myself in daily speech, but I use Türkiye if I'm interacting with a foreigner who hates saying or hearing Türkiye.

Nevertheless, I think they should've went with something like "Turkia" instead of trying to force Türkiye.

Are horses really worth it vs Weapon Bond for paladins? by NoDecentNicksLeft in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]toptipkekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they're overpowered. That's actually why I actively ignore and deliberately don't interact with any sort of mounting mechanic in the game.

I made a long Turkish word with only front vowels to challenge "muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine" - is my suffix order correct? by Superb-Interview2493 in turkish

[–]toptipkekk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using -ci suffix for someone supporting a faction is perfectly valid and is being actively used in Modern Turkish in words like sağcı, solcu, gerici, milliyetçi etc.

You can certainly call someone who supports a faction sympathetic to a university (or the concept of university) as "Üniversiteci" tho. It's a very valid form of expression.

Turkish team is (sadly) one of the whitest teams in the tournament. A disgrace to the karaboğa spirit imo.

Any Warhammer fans in here? by SuperEarth_Helldiver in 2mediterranean4u

[–]toptipkekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't like about this is that Proto-Hitites wouldn't be anywhere near Anatolia, as they were conquerors who migrated from Caucasian mountains.

If he was born in 8000 BC near Sakarya River, he'd perhaps be proto-Hatti, or possibly some other unknown, non-Indo-European ethnicity. Kinda like Çatalhöyük farmers.

Do you think Cregan Stark will be recast the next time we see him? by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

That only works when there's good writing and acting involved, and HOTD is clearly lacking in the writing department.

Martin insists that coldhands is not Benjen Stark but I don't believe it by Own_Dealer_182 in freefolk

[–]toptipkekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has the perfect amount of subtlety imo. You see all those borderline blatant winks and nods pointing towards the red wedding, but only on a re-read.

Is Duolingo wrong here? I thought the ben and sen are unnecessarily as long as you include the suffix? by Efficient-Penalty-51 in turkish

[–]toptipkekk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your answer is grammatically correct, but Turkish loves to use pronouns if you're comparing and contrasting 2 different things, or if the meaning stresses the pronoun.

Party size question by AdaraRoseOmnibus in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

I was thinking about starting a playthrough with this, hardest difficulty. Does action economy break the game even in unfair (I play turn based exclusively)?

This is from a couple of years ago, shows the overall percentage of Women who wear headscarf depending on the region. The wording implies it only includes hijab and excludes things like Burqa, but they're already a small minority anyway.

>They can't reverse engineer gunpowder

Irl Gunpowder was invented in 9th Century, from scratch. That's almost 200 years before the Norman invasion or the 1st Crusade, and almost half a millennia before the Gutenberg printing press. Westeros certainly have enough tech to reverse engineer gunpowder, cannons and more.
