3 questions for Turks

a)yeni means `new`

b)yes you are right.and live in cyprus we call rum

c)nargele???is it nargile???

 

1-yeni means  new

2-yunan  is the citizen of greece  and  rum is  the  word  for  greek nation

3what kind of  nargile  you ca  find a nargile for  10 euro or 1000  euro

Originally posted by Ellinas I would like to ask the Turks of the forum some things. 1. What is the exact meaning of the word "yeni"? 2. What is the exact difference between the words "Yunnan" and "Rum". I believe you used to call Yunnan the Greeks and Rum the Orthodox Christians of the Ottoman Empire - however today you call Rum the Greeks of Turkey. Am I right? 3. What is nearly the cost of a nargele? Thanks.

the answer to question 2 is somewhat confusing, i think we call the greeks outside greece "Rum", Greeks from Greece called "Yunan" but also i heard they use "Grek" for Greeks. So many names for a nation

Rum refers to the Romans, not the greeks, but by the time the Turks showed up the roman empire was gone, all that was left was the  Eastern Roman Empire (Byzans), thus were also called Rums.

Dear Friend Elinas, A nice hello from Ankara. All my Forum Friends gave you good information. I want to conturbute extra knowledge.

1- Yeni = New

OK!  Yeni is well known in Greece e.g. Yenice (Yesenice) which means  "nearly new" is a place in Greece fomous with its tabacco. There is another Yenice in Greece. "Mora Yenicesi" the Morean Yenice in Peleponnes.  In Teselya there is a city called "Yenischehir" the new city.

Yeni Raki, Yeniceri the Janischary the ottoman soldier, the New Soldier

2-Rum = The Araps under Muhammed got contact with the Romans. In arabic letters they don't use the word "o" they prefer to write "u" So that the Araps called the Romans as "Rumans" In Holy Book Kor'an there is a suura called "Rum" which means "Rom/Rome"  Therefore Turks accepted same definition for Romans. As they came to Anatolia im 1071 Turks fought with East Roman Empire. They called their enemy as "Rum" According to Turks Anatolia was a land of Rum. We called Anatolia "Diyar-i iklim-i Rum" After the conquest of Anatolia by Turks the Turkish Sultan got the name "Sultan-i iklim-i Rum" (Sultan of Rum/Rome country.) The famous Philosopher Mevlana, the grunder of Whirling Derwisches is called "Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi" (The beautiful person of Religion from Anatolia" Therefore Turks  called the remaining citizens of Bizanz Empire as "Rum". The word leter used for all greek citizens. Armenians or Jews were never Rum. Only Greeks were Rum. After the declaration of the Free Greek State. We called them "Yunan" To day we call all greek origine people who are not Greek citizen as "Rum" e.g Rums of USA, Cyprus. 

Plese tell my good wishes to all  Greek citizens of  my fatherland " Sofular" a town of Kozana/Kozani. They all imigrated from Anatolia.
