it really pisses me off that turkey insists that english speakers call it "türkiye".we call egypt egypt, not "Misr"we call china china, not "Zhōngguó"we call germany germany, not "deutschland"we call greece greece, not "hellas"we call sweden sweden, not "sverige"what makes turkey think they deserve special treatment? no other country insists that english speakers use a difficult to pronounce endonym rather than the commonly known exonym that has been used for hundreds of years. what makes them think they are fucking special? it really pisses me off.
you can do what I do which is ignore it and keep calling it turkey
>>222501418amen burgerlandbruh
>>222501418also, "turkey" is WAY closer to "türkiye" than some country's english names (germany - deutschland, china - Zhōngguó, etc) so what do they even have to complain about anyway? even a turk who doesn't speak english could understand what "turkey" is referring to.
>>222501418erdog thought you're calling us turkey like the turkey bird as an insult and got offended because he's a retard. so he's saving the country's reputation by changing the official name, thinks it's a power move that makes him a serious leader everyone respects no one actually takes it seriously, everyone here still says turkey when speaking english
>>222501470based i also still say burma
>>222501612>erdog thought you're calling us turkey like the turkey bird as an insult and got offended because he's a retardlmaooooono way that's true
>>222501612here's the thing though, turkeys (the bird) are called that BECAUSE of turkey (the country). turkeys were traded from turkey to england and the people named them after the country. NOT the other way around. it's not disrespectful or embarrassing in the slightest.
>>222501418Imagine lyfe in Australia. Every island a Turkïe, every national park a Kyiv. All getting renamed to shit like Bungawandaboo when it used to be "Bob's Point."
>>222501418Iran's official name used to be Persia in English. They said they want to be called Iran in the 30s and nobody refers to them as Persia anymore. I'm not supporting this but your argument is wrong. There are other countries that changed their names too. It's allowed
>>222501658>Burma>Swaziland>Bombay>Peking>Siam>Persia>Phenian
>>222501418literally never happened you made that upits called turkey, always has been
>>222501726>Zaire>Abyssinia
>>222501418we SHOULD change it to Hellas tbqh desu desu
>>222501418now imagine having these insufferable cunts as neighborsYes, it's as bad as you can imagine. Also they do it partly because they want YOU to speak their language. We're talking about big time inferiority complexes fueled by a pontian dictator
>>222501720one major difference though. persian is just the prominent ethnicity in iran. not even iranian is persian. it would be like calling all of britain england.
>>222501720ok but its different because1: "perisa" is completely different from "iran", whereas "turkey" and "türkiye" are very similar. one is a legitimate request and the other is just nitpicking.2: "iran" is easy to pronounce in english. "türkiye" on the other hand involves an accent mark and sounds that are not in english. therefore "iran" is a much more reasonable thing to ask english speakers to say.3: that was almost 100 years ago and has increased legitimacy because of that.
>>222501658Burma is the real name of the country. Myanmar is just what the illegitimate military government named it. Everyone even slightly educated on the subject should be saying Burma.
Had a meeting with a Turkish company for work, we all spoke English. Everyone around the table referred to Turkey in the normal way except one guy who kept saying 'Turk-i-yeeeah' instead despte his colleagues flat out ignoring it, they don't even know what they're supposed to do.
>>222501789Yes it's no different than the Netherlands getting mad at countries that still call it Holland. We actually pondered changing the name Holandija in Serbian but it failed to catch on
>>222501801Türkiye comes from latin ''Turchia'' I thought you people liked latin?
>>222501784The world doesn't revolve around you. Stop getting offended by everything we do
>>222501784I thought he was Georgian
>>222501937who gives a shit? that just isn't what we call it. it has been turkey for hundreds of years in english. who cares if it's latin? the latin name for the area of turkey is "asia minor". greece, germany, and egypt all have latin based exonyms as english names. should we call turkey "asia minor" because of this? OF COURSE NOT!!!!
>>222501972Lmao assblasted idiot
>>222501418i just saw your xitter thread bro
>>222502000most turks are just mutts with some mixture of caucasian, armenian, greek, arab, kurdish, perisan, levantine, turkic and slavic DNA. you could really call him whatever you want.
>>222501418it was YOUR mistake to name country after a silly bird
>>222502103the bird is named after the country, not the other way around.
>>222501418They think they can control YOUR language. And you let them
>>222501418I will keep calling them Turkey, unless they start calling us Suomi
>>222502134That's even worse you did it on purpose by shortcutting it to a country name.
>>222502047This is funny though
>>222502263we can do this suomalainen.
If they insist on this, the turkey bird should also be renamed into Türkiye
>>222502440this
>>222501937Latin doesn't have umlaut, no one even has the necessary keyboard layout to write Türkiye
>>222502440valid response to a power move made by erdogan
>>222501418when its other countries:>eswatini not swaziland>alright>sri lanka not ceylon>yeah >myanmar not burma>that makes sensewhen its us: >so i've noticed you keep mixing up my country with the retarded bird from your continent because you are retarded. i've decided you can call us turkiye instead so you don't have to get it mixed up. it's pretty much the same thing as turkey just spelled slightly differently and you can pronounce it as turkey as well>noooooooo fucking turks i hate you so muchrandom latinx who barely speaks english:>we will kill all of you turks and retake constantinople
Turkia was right there and they still went with Türkiye wtf
>>222502550it's just that no one likes it when you try to be extra
Eating turkey in christmas is shorely not symbolical guys b-believe us don't change your name pls we must eat turkey in christmas you are stealing the christmast spirit AIIIIIIIIIEEEEE
>>222502047lel
>>222502477>>222502524It's ridiculous how English language institutions like Wikipedia all agreed to his demandsIt shouldn't be possible for a Lazy dictator to accomplish this
>>222502550>when its other countries:>>eswatini not swaziland>>alright>>sri lanka not ceylon>>yeah >>myanmar not burma>>that makes senseNo one even knows about these countries, nor do they careNever said Swaziland or eswatini once in my life
>>222502598turkey is the correct englishified version of turkia (like germany and italy)making it turkia makes less sense instead of changing it to the endonym like everyone else does and also it's pretty much the same as turkey as well
>>222502660At least we didn't get bullied and changed our name like a bitch
>>222502699>iran not persia>i see
>>222501418shut up shart in mart
>>222501418isn't it because of the fucking bird?
GULF OF AMERICA
>>222501801no one is forcing you to pronounce anything you faggotyou say iran like "i ran" anyways
turkeys kinda uppity recently ngl
it's funny how turks call kebabs their invention when in fact they are persian invention.
>>222501418>difficult to pronounce endonymit's not difficult to pronounce, dumb fat
>>222502660turkey's article on wikipedia is still named turkey you dumb chud
>>222502857wtf I love kebab without any guilt now
Don't particularly care about it as a Turk but since it makes faggots who hate us seethe I use it deliberately. It's like saying latinx but the other way around.
>>222502873they made it difficult thanks to diacritics and the joining of three vowels (iye).if it sounds like "Turkia" or "Turquia" call it that fucking way, but I think that's the curse of non-latin languages using the latin alphabet.
>>222501784We call you Hellas, which is the proper way to do these things. It's quite reasonable for countries to choose how they want to be addressed, when even trannies can dictate it these days.
>>222502882
>>222502741It's Iran not Ïrãñ
>>222503184I know and you have a special place in my heart because of this
oh, so that's why they call it hellenistic
>>222503298>Yunanistan
>>222503847Thank you for calling us Ionians, chuddy
日本 not Japan
>>222501692lmfao and if it isn't renamed there'll be some 5 paragraph informational sign telling you about the aboriginal history.
>>222502550seethe harder
>>222501744>Upper Volta
>>222501418hard seethe
>>222501784Funny seeing this because inferiority complex and insufferable applies not only to turks but greeks as well
>>222501934Bcs of croatian term 'nizozemska'
>>222504909you are the one that is seething nigga
>>222501418Constantinople is the largest city in West Kurdistan.
>>222502550kek
>>222501418Ukrainians do the same
>>2225083702 + 2 = 1Biji Kurdistan!
>>222509014what
Because South Korea has friendly relations with Turkey, official documents use the country name "Turkiye," which is preferred by their government; however, Irl, no South Koreans refer to Turkey as "Turkiye." However, some people still refer to Turkey as "Dolgwol." Dolgwol is the word Ancient Koreans used to refer to Turkey a thousand years ago.
>>2225093752 (Bakur & Rojava (northwest Kurdistan)) + 2 (Bashur & Rojhilat (southwest Kurdistan) = 1 (Kurdistan). Basically a promise to unite the Kurdish provinces into one Kurdish state.Biji Kurdistan = long live Kurdistan
>>222509014>>222509531who is gonna tell him?
>>222509572Tell me what?
>>222501418its gonna get even worse after latinos started making fun of them too
>>222501418they're embarrassed by it being the name of a stupid animal in English
>>222509500>Dolgwol (돌궐 / 突厥) is the Korean term for the Göktürks, an ancient nomadic Turkic empire that existed in Central Asia and the Eurasian steppes from the 6th to the 8th centuries.HOLY BASED KOREA
