Mrs c is determined to travel to the Occupied North again this summer and She who must be obeyed must be obeyed. So I thought I'd learn a few words of Tr. to try out on our northern brothers. Can any kind member translate the following please - In the Cypriot dialect of Turkish (if there is such a thing)
Hello
Goodbye
Thank You
A beer please
Two beers please
Re - bring more beers
A Turkish coffee please ( sweet )
Where is the toilet ?
----
The rest is to be taken with a pinch of humour please : -
Turkish Army out of Cyprus !
Have you lived in my father's house for long ?
Who did you steal this house from ?
