are you a gurbet? |
I think Krurpetos is a Gurbetci indeed.
Acaba sunnetli mi?  |
No I didn't. |
Dogru cevap/ correct answer = hayir, degilim. No, I am not.
You dont know what you are missing. |
I assume you are then!  |
Oh yes and what a pleasure it is to lose something that close to you. |

Ask Iceman.
or
You answered " no I didnt" to a remark of mine. I took it that you were on the same wavelength and continued.
Sunnet = circumcision
Sunnetli = with a circumcision, ok? |

I know what sunnet is.  I just didn't see its connection with gurbet. |

Oh, right. Some of our well meaning G/Cypriot friends on occasion use some phrases, in the wrong tense.( I do the same with the wrong genders in GC.). Your phrase was perfect, which made me think twice about your heritage. I am also aware that many GCs of mature years are proficient in Turkish. |
