When the New World settlers met thereal turkey, a bird indigenous to North America, they named it afterthe familiar bird that used to come from Turkey. This explanation alsoexplains why the turkish word for a turkey is "hindi."<p>The first explanation stipulates that we were named after a bird, and thesecond one suggests that the bird was named after us.I haven't yet decided which of the two explanations is better.<h2>The Language</h2>Turkish is an Ural-Altaic language, which means that it is sort of likeFinnish, Hungarian, Azerbaijani and a few other central Asian languages.The basic idea is that all words are created either by conjugatingsuffixes to the end of roots, or by stealing them wholesale from otherlanguages. The former approach has great uses andcan lead to questions such as:<dl><dd> Cekoslovakyalilastiramadiklarimizdan misiniz ?</dl>which stands for "are you one of those that we could not convert into aCzechoslovakian ?" (the example is a bit dated).<p>There are some extremely useful tenses and conjugations in Turkishthat are hard to match in other languages. First is the "I did this inthe past, I am doing it now, and I will do it in the future" tense,which has great uses during moments of anguish on Istanbulstreets (esp. when combined with the wish tense and a reference tosomeone's maternal lineage). Second is the "I heard it from someoneelse" tense, which is great in telling stories, where you want tocommunicate some information of dubious validity to someone else, butdon't want to be responsible for its accuracy. It is used quite oftenin daily life.<p>One of my pet hobbies is to record bizarre Turkish proverbs andsayings. I might make this collection public someday.<p>By the way, I believe I am singlehandedly responsible for theonomatopoeia "biy biy biy" in Turkish, which is commonly used today bythe younger generation.<hr><address><!WA11><a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/egs">Emin Gun Sirer</a></address></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
