Tell me some words in dialect then?

Like in Birmingham - they say how am ya? Which means how are you? or Where am ya, which means where are you
In Newcastle - they say Are yee comin yeut t'nyte. which means are you coming out tonight?
They also say Aye ya alreet. Which means are you ok?
Liverpool scousers say (apart from I will pinch your car) Ariite, y'alright. Which means are you ok?
They also say Canna ellp yous wi' yer bags which means can I help you with your bags

So, can someone tell me some dialects then? What does Pafians say that Nicosians dont?

Well basicly people from paphos especiialy the ones from villages they don't pronounce the letter S in most of their words.

So it really sounds very different than the people from nicosia who pronounce S in their words. You can imagine i think

Oh and 1 think they say very occasionally

Zavale mou = my love (i think im not sure, feel free someone to correct me if im wrong)

and we say agapi mou/ agapite mou in nicosia.

Zavallı - poor man/woman, wretched, miserable in Turkish

If one being in love makes them miserable, then ah! zavallı.

The word itself has nothing to do with 'agapi mou'.

NB. Another T word 'stolen' from the Turks. (just kidding )

[paliometoxo]

hehehe another word we have in common but usually they mean the same thing not the opposite
