It's not the grammar I am querying but your Geography!

Care to explain this yourself, or is this another of your stupidities that someone else (more rational than Zan :lol: ) has to come along and rescue your from?

If you are going to come here and post, you had better get your facts right.

Now, which country other than the RoC has "Cyprus villages"?

Admit you made a mistake or explain yourself, you debating coward!


First, you can use "of" to show ownership in English - the queen of England is England's queen, the English queen, the queen from England (or Germany ;) ), so it would be a very small, easy-to-make mistake for anyone.

Second, in Turkish, you could say, 'if you have any maps of any country with cyprus villages please share them [sizde bir ülkenin Kıbrıs köyleri haritaları varsa onları paylaşın]' (although my poor reverse translation is probably wrong), because the way of showing ownership - "this country's", "of this country", "from this country" - can be written the same way. (My reverse translation would reverse reverse translate back into English as "if you have a[ny] country's maps of Cyprus's villages share them".) So it really was a freak occurrence that in this particular case it didn't translate. Do you react so cattily to absolutely everything?

(I edited it to correct my Turkish, but if you want the "with" from his original sentence as well, it would be in my original 'sizde bir ülkenin Kıbrıs köyleri taşıyan haritaları varsa onları paylaşın'.)


there is a book called ''Names of the locations of CYPRUS lost in depths of 2500 years of history'' by ATA ATUN.

In this book you can find the all places names in Englis ,Turkish ,Greek and Latin .

Let me get this straight- a TC author has written a book about the origin of place names in Cyprus!

Those of you who have read the book, can you please tell us what this paragon of culture says about the abritrary changes of place names in the north?

It sounds like a sick joke.
