The name Istanbul

[Bosniensis]

Turks would laugh if you said this to them.

Which one do you prefer; Sarajevo or Istanbul?

I prefer Istanbul but language barrier is enormous.

Istanbul should return to Greek language and that would be acceptable for all Balkan and Anatolian people.

Turkish is very easy to learn.

[Epirus DNA]

Konstantinople is the formal name of the city, to this very day.

Istanbul is just the Turkish nickname derived from the Greek slang "εἰς τὴν Πόλιν" - "to the city"


That's nobody's business but the Turks...

Would you teach me

[Bosniensis]

Since when you speak Greek?

We learn Latin and Greek in Gymnasium as mandatory, but with focus on Latin. even in 8 year mandatory school, but not all schools.

So when we start learning Romance or Greek it's super easy.

I know tons of Greek words even if I don't speak Greek language, I could start writing and talking in 1-2 months if I wanted to.

@Bosniensis you're just a cringe...

@Bosniensis you're just a cringe...

Is that because I am not like Saad Lamjarred?

WTF are you talking about? What's the connection with Saad? Please don't mix my dream bf with your cringeness! He's 1000x better than you and at least he's not a cringe like you!

You're cringe because you're denying facts. And we Turks are not Byzantine Greek as you dream. We're a beautiful mixture of Oghuz Turkics and native Anatolians! So your dream is debunked please WAKE UP!

I'd love for it to be renamed Constantinople but I don't give it a chance of happening. And it doesn't matter if Balkan people approve it, they have no connection to the City whatsoever.
