Buenos günler alle Bmecte !

[Melki]

Hi everyone

I am French, born in Paris, but my father is German (Berlin is his native town, but his family originated from Wroclaw, Silesia, when it still belonged to Germany. My surname ends with "itz", so I guess my dad’s ancestors had slavic roots. My grandmother on my mother side was a genuine Spanish Basque.
I’m feeling myself deeply European and citizen of the world. I have no idea about mitochondrial ADN haplogroup nor meta-ethnicity, and to be honest with you I don’t really care about. I’m much more interested in culture, traditions and linguistic ethnography. I’m keen on learning foreign languages.
I don’t support nationalism, I would rather live in a supranational federal Europe without real borders, the famous "United States of Europe" dreamt by visionaries like Immanuel Kant or Victor Hugo, with at least two official languages in each member State; esperanto and the native(s) language(s). And yes, there would always be a place for Turkey (as soon as they get rid of Erdoğan and achieve political stability, for now the door is still closed but not locked)...For the same reason, I’m not afraid of Russia. I’m a big fan of their music and literature.

...Well, this, at least, is my utopian dream. As a matter of fact, I don’t really believe in the future of our European Union ruled by elite technocratic liberalism, even though I think that Brexit is a huge mistake.

Anyway, I’m very happy to join your community.

günler is "days" in Turkish :D

[Bezprym]

What is its mean ? "Buenos günler alle Bmecte"

Good days all together (or something like that). Last word should be transcribed as "vmiestie" (Russian).

[Pennywise]

:clap2:

Wonder how many days you'll be able to run around.

Welcome!

Bardzo dziękuję



günler is "days" in Turkish :D

Indeed ! I learned to speak osmanli Turkish


Welcome! You might be jewish with that last name too.

Actually, I’m not Jewish (as far as I know). My ancestors were petty Prussian nobles belonging to the middle-class who settled down in Lower-Silesia. My last name used to start with ’von’ and my family has never been bothered by the Nazis.

And I don’t have prominent ears, it was just a pun to make fun of taxonomy, that sounds very "19th centurish" to me.

To tell you the truth, I admire a lot the western Jewish culture: that community gave us Einstein, Kafka, Spinoza, Arendt, Zweig, Marx, Mahler, Heine, Wittgenstein, Bergson, Bohr, Proust, Chagall, Husserl, Benjamin, Rubinstein, Buber, Popper, Derrida, Aron, Wiesel, Serguei Eisenstein, Ayn Rand, Noam Chomsky, Isaiah Berlin, Thomas Kuhn, Milton Friedman, Woody Allen, Peter Singer, Stephen Jay Gould, George Gershwin, Bob Dylan, Dr. Zamenhof (creator of Esperanto), and more...yeah even Jerry Seinfeld too :D

I’m fully aware that racialism, culturalism, all types of nationalism, quarrels and feuds are the norm here, but I don’t give a crap. I shall behave in a respectuful way, just like the average Canadian. (most tolerant nation in the world) :)

Osmanlı Turkish ? :D Can you speak it ? Even we dont speak in that way xD

Then the surname is derived from the name of a place :lightbul:

[Era]

You are a member of the tribe my friend, or you wouldn't have bothered listing all those jews :)

[Melki]

Yes, I can speak it, although I started to learn it 15 years ago, (çünkü benim çok türk arkadaşlarım var) but I am afraid my Turkish might be somewhat rusty now.

more than surely.

it would be a personal honor to be accepted as a member of the clan:D

You maked a nice sentence. I guess your Turkish is probably better than my English :biggrin: But it is today's language. Not Ottoman Turkish :P

[Pennywise]

What is that? The "Ottoman Turkish" is not a language to speak but for read to historical documents.

[Melki]

Yes, in fact, I meant the language spoken in the modern Republic of Turkey, not in the defunct Ottoman Empire ;)
