It seems simple, but I always find translating this form of 'de/da' so hard...Yes, reviving my Turkish with Behzat Ç 😎
I love this show 😂
🤣 #BehzatÇSnippets
Currently struggling not to confuse vaziyet, vesayet, and vekalet, which have somehow all ended up among my current batch of flash cards...

Meanwhile, recently realized that muhabbet and müebbet are not in fact the same word...

#Türkçe

I thought I was pretty good with (*endless*) Turkish family vocabulary, but nope, still more to learn...

New for me (probably b/c neither exist for us):

Bacanak - wife's sister's husband
Elti – husband’s brother’s wife

Useful video from @s_fanur

Watching Aşk-ı Memnu to practice my Turkish listening, though often there’s not much dialogue to listen to...

A thread on the #TurkeyElections and a short history of democracy there, especially for non-Turkophiles:

1. Turkey has elections (often, and with extremely high, extremely enthusiastic turnout), but is not a democracy. This is quite new.
2. Experts disagree over when exactly this 'exit' occurred, but most agree that elections can no longer result in a change of power (on a national level; there are many cities & provinces administered by opposition parties). Elections are unfair, and if need be, partially rigged.
3. Starting in 1950, Turkey had regular, competitive elections. It was considered an illiberal "military-tutelage" democracy, with regular coups, and after the 1980 coup, a National Security Council (MGK) held monthly meetings essentially dictating government policy.

"'The claim to set up new States according to the limits of nationality is the most dangerous of all Utopian schemes,' the Austrian Foreign Ministry warned in 1853," - from the excellent The Balkans: A Short History, by Mark Mazower #EnSonNeOkudun
Love this colourful description of inter-group intolerance in the massively cosmopolitan Ottoman Empire, where most groups got along, but didn't necessarily like each other:
Having said that, the level or multiculturalism in Ottoman Constantinople never ceases to amaze: "for a time Slavic rivaled Turkish as a court language."

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
