They couldn’t handle little 7 year old English speaking kids giggling at their name so they whined to the UN. Is Hungary next?
I learned from watching the World Cup that there's a tiny nation called Curacao and everyone was giggling about that. IDK how the natives feel.
>>537826165It’s a Dutch territory. They’ve always been big in international baseball. There is a blue curacao drink too
>>537826165the drirk is named after the island>>537826070that's the turkish name, in english is is still "turkey"i don't even have an umlaut on my keyboard>chariman of EDAMis everything named after food there?
>>537826070Western Turkey wants to be Europe so bad but all the muzzshits in Ankara prohibit this little fantasy kek
>>537826165>announcing publicly that youre stupid and uneducated Why did you mean by this?
Fuck Turkniggers, they are literal faggots That world cup game was fucking rigged with dogshit refs
>>537826070Turkey it is.URKEYRKEYKEYEYY
>>537826070We dont have that stupid u in english
>>537826493I don't have any problem admitting my own ignorance. I think many problems in society stem from others refusing to, which is probably partially due to attitudes like yours.
>>537826365They asked English speakers to use the Turkish name in a formal UN resolution
>>537826070>we'll just try and force a tujyrekekbieyeyeyeyey meme and include letters on nobody who matter's keyboardUsing all double digits of their IQ there. I'm sure it'll totally catch on.
>>537826070In Finnish it's called Turkki, and the word turkki means 'fur' and 'fur coat'. Image of Pikachu looking comfy wrapped in a fur coat.
>>537826070Just call the bird türkiye as well from now on
>>537827071That was pretty funny, germbro
Turks should be slaughtered and the whole region given back to whites.
>>537826070If they had any balls, they'd try to stop trying to sell some faggot-ass poseur spelling (that's nothing new, by the way; that spelling was pushed in the West back in the 1970s as well) and call themselves the Ottoman Empire.
>>537826865>Republic of Turkey = Türkiye Cumhuriyetialright, who's going to tell them what cum hurry yeti means
They only did this after that earthquake just like oikraine changed kiev after the SMO Performative bullshit
>>537826165No recreational map reading in the USI can point at any country you tell me, it's not fucking hard
"Turkeyeah" makes sense... But, "Buttrat" is the most apropos change in the recent slew of retarded name changes.
>>537827338The capital of djibouti is djibouti
>>537827252I don't think that would solve the problem of people making fun of the name.>If you need inexpensive high-quality living room furniture, come on down to Ottoman Empire!
>>537826070This is old news, and I'll keep calling it Turkey, just like I'll keep calling it Kiev.>>537827071Kek.
>>537826070But its called a Turkey because they exported a bunch to the ottomans. I thonk it was originally called the American ground fowl or some shit
>>537826070We could just go back to the good old days when Turk was used as an insult."I wouldn't touch him with a fork, he’s as filthy as a Turk." - from The Face upon the Barroom Floor (1887)"I'm a-going to stay where you sleep all dayWhere they hung the Turk that invented workin the Big Rock Candy Mountains" - from The Big Rock Candy Mountains (1928)
>>537826365The bird is named after the country
>>537827274I am a cum hurry yeti, and yes, I wear a bowtie.
>>537827387Im hazy in my recollection."The name turkey originated as a shortening of turkey cock and turkey hen and initially denoted the guineafowl, an African bird to which the turkeys of North America are only distantly related. Guineafowl were first imported to Europe via Turkey, hence the name. Following the establishment of English colonies in the New World, the name was transferred to the superficially similar North American bird."But the points the same
>>537827410I don’t want to marry a Turk but I will sleep with an afghan
>>537826070As if some racist middle schooler can't fuck with the word türkiye. Lmao
>>537827410>Guineafowl were first imported to Europe via Turkey, hence the name. Following the establishment of English colonies in the New World, the name was transferred to the superficially similar North American bird.huhsomehow the turks are even more thin skinned and ridiculous than I thoughtthanks, knowledgebro
>>537827374Fucking kek
>>537827252They should. Ottoman's grew some of the worlds best tobacco. They should do that again too.
>>537826070But I like turkeys. Why wouldn't they want their national animal to be something so wholesome and useful as this?Beats being named after a footrest.
>>537827511we don't have a pronounced trailing vowel eithere.g. katze in german is "katz-uh" in english it's just "kats"then you have to transliterate the umlaut using standard practice (könig = koenig)so they want a bunch of elementary schoolers to pronounce TUERKIYEwhich is obviously pronounced TOO-URK-EYE like tuesday if you jammed an r into itor TWERK-EYE
>>537826070I can refer to Turkey however I like. Since when can they dictate what we call them in our own language?
>>537828269>Since whenit was soon after they renamed chicken kiev to chicken keeeevI suspect fowl play
>>537826070The true reason Turkey changed it's name is BASED! Turkey racked up a ton of debt to the Rotthschilds IMF. Whenever they came to collect on the debt, they said Turkey might owe you that money, but that nation no longer exists. We are Türkiye.and have no foreign debt.
>>537826070I am waiting for our leftist media to pick this up. they were eagerly adopting Georgia for what was called Grúzia for centuries.>Is Hungary next?IT'S MAGYARORSZÁG!!!
>>537829423>IT'S MAGYARORSZÁG!!!do it for the lulzthen next time your prime minister Peter MAGYAR meets trump, look him straight in the eye and say "top that"
>>537826070turkey is a failed state though like all muzrat shitholes
We already call it turkiye (turquia). Peru is the actual turkey country.
>>537830377>We already call it turkiyebut do you call it tÜrkiye?
>>537827351sucks we cant get ai to make these poopjeet images anymore, especially the microsoft server ones
>>537826070English doesn't have umlauts so they're shit out of luckit's turkeyit's kievit's even peking
>>537827338Oh yeah, what about Åland or the Seychelles? Or New Caledonia?
>>537826070That means for Christmas I'll eat Türkiye instead of chicken KYIVS.Also fuck anyone who thinks English needs umlauts.
>>537826070To be fair they do pronounce the yay they added
>>537826070It's interesting to me that they decided to become more weird and shitbrown and not less.
>>537830665New Caledonia isn't a country is a French nickel mine plantation. Åland is traitors who are exempt from Finland's army because Finns know they will shoot at their own team. Pois pakkoruotsi!The Seychelles still uses humans to collect unpaid taxes, you can just shoot them to avoid the cost.~~the more you know~~
>>537826070Turkeys are actually kinda badass. It was almost the national bird for USA
>>537830553>PekingThat's French. Nobody has pronounced that word with a K sound in centuries. English speakers don't notice that their B is a French P
>>537830665Try again
>>537826070It's Turkki in Finnish, which also means fur. ARe these faggot furries going to try and change their name in every language and what makes them think it will actually ever work, literal India aka Braaprat-tier pajeet idiocy.
>>537826070Western Turkey belongs to Greek Christians and Eastern Turkey belongs to the Kurds. End the colonialist ottoman imperialist Attaturk lineage.
>>537827399Yeah, back then turk was an insult, now it is amerifat
>>537826070I've heard India is next with Bharat thingy.And I root for them to change it because these fucks do not even have Indus river nor valley in their country.
>>537826070>The name turkey originated as a shortening of turkey cock and turkey hen and initially denoted the guineafowl, an African bird to which the turkeys of North America are only distantly related. Guineafowl were first imported to Europe via Turkey, hence the name. the bird is literally named after their country, what's the fucking issue?
Why are the Anglo countries the only ones who have to partake in this humilliation ritual though?
>>537827487>afghannow that's a word they should actually be mad about. "Afghanistan" means "bandit country"
>>537831788Wut? The turkey was domesticated by the Aztecs and Mayas. And were first introduced to Europe by the Spaniards.
>>537831825I would assume because turkey the country and turkey the bird aren’t the same word in other languages>>537831884afghan is also just a kind of blanket. thats the joke idk if that was clear>>537831887The north american turkey was named after a different old world bird called turkey hen because it looked similar. The turkey hen is now called the guineafowl
>>537826070Turkey means Victory
>>537831887we named the american ground fowl after the already known "turkey bird" or guineafowl.by the way, the turkish word for a turkey is "hindi" because they thought those goods came from india, long after columbus's death.in hindi it's called a "peru"
>>537826070turdey lol
>>537832074>afghan is also just a kind of blanket.nobody cares or knows that. but afghan literally means bandit in iranian-adjacent languages, which most afghans themselves speak
How proud would be if you lived in Niger?
>>537832074in turkish and most european languages it's called a hindi. they thought they came from india.in hindi it's a peruin arabic it's a roman roosterin chinese it's FIRE CHICKEN
I don't care either way, but in the US, turkey => Thanksgiving => family. Blacks use to call people turkey as insult in the like the 60s briefly.
>>537832260>>537832198most toponyms are offensivegermany is "fertile farmland" (like a seed germinating) named by ambitious roman real estate speculatorsukraine means frontierargentinians live in a silver mineamerigo is just italian for eric
>>537826070Turks are eternally butthurt to a comical degree.
>>537832198English speakers know. I’m giving language lessons just like you latvinigger
>>537832260I almost forgotcanada means "village"an explorer asked an indian foraging party "what's over that way you just came from" and he said village
>>537826070No one must use Turkiye. No country has a right to dictate English.
>>537826070As far as I know it was always called Turkiye just in english we call it Turkey.
>>537830846>Nobody has pronounced that word with a K sound in centuries.really? we do.
>>537832284hmm. old writings call it 'indian chicken', but nobody calls it by that name now. the current name is 'pulyka', with the 'l' silent. note to mankind: don't call your country anything like 'pooy-kah', because you'll have to change it.
In Arabic, it's 'deek rumiyy'. Deek is rooster/cock and rumiyy means Byzantine (via original Roman). So it's a Roman cock in Arabic. In Portuguese it's 'peru', which comes from Peru.Finnish 'kalkkuna' comes for Swedish 'kalkun' which comes from Dutch 'kalkoen' which comes from older Dutch 'kalkoense haan' which means Calicut hen. Calicut was an Indian city, now called Kozhikode (located in Kerala state). The English word 'calico' (cloth) also comes from Calicut.In Vietnamese it's gà tây, which literally means 'chicken west'.For those interested in such trivia.
>>537832748dinde in modern french, indeyka (индeйкa) in russianyou and germany use onomatopoeias that represent the sound a turkey makeswhich is really impressive, it means you guys imported live turkeys (I guess everyone did, no freezers) but also bred them yourselves while the french were still believing any bullshit the merchant at the dock told them>new delicacy from far away india saar, it took me months to get here saar, definitely not the two week hop to mexico
>>537827553>somehow the turks are even more thin skinned and ridiculous than I thoughtYou haven't seen anything yet. Turks have a head canon that they started all civilization.
>>537827553
>>537830665oh come on, those are some of the easiest islands to point to.should have said Grenada, Nauru and Bouvet Island.
>>537832501>English speakersare these "English speakers" in the thread with us right now, jose?
>>537834519Si senor guacamole taco queso supreme
>>537826070>>537827252Byzantium. Unique. Not associated with any bird. Good sounding.
I will just start calling it a "byzantine cock" like the arabsI can't wait to go home for thanksgiving and get some fresh byzantine cock
>>537835639>>537835726
