i live in Canada... lol, i knew a guy named Ogüz .. but then he broke up with my sisters friend so i dont know him anymore.. he was from like some town with a name hard to remember near Ankara... and i had a friend from Mersin.. but we lost contact... so i guess some kurdish or arab guy ate him alive already....and his soul is now lost forever since he was an atheist..

can many ppl in turkey still read arabic? or just some old and dying grandpas in lost villages?

Only old people and Imams can read Arabic alifba. Because they read Quran. Turkish youth is not interested in learning Arabic alifba, because it worths nothing and English and other languages are more important these days.

I do not think many people now read and understand Arabic, not any more. Just students of Imam-Hatip high schools and (Faculty of Religion) of some Universities. However, they are still many people who can read of Arabic Alfabeth. You know it is need to read Quran. Heck, I used to read Arabic Alfabeth, but I forget how to read.

I think Atheist and Tengrist do not need Arabic Elif-Ba.

However, many conservative Muslim Turks still read their Quran from Arabic from.

[Pivra]

They say it is not a Christian Club. And we believe them.

and everyone knows Europe is a very nice continent who never lies....and with an extremely high human right profile...with no genocides at all.. ever.. not even a single persecution in its history... now any racism ...

[Zephrelial]

There are some differences between the Mongolic Tengriism and Turkic Tengriism(like for instance as for the legend of creation,the names of characters are different,the number of deities aren't the same) However in essence they are the same.As a sidenote today the number of Tengriists around the world unfortunately are quite scarce.

[Pivra]

I read that Tengrism came from the world Heaven in Chinese and is also the same origin with Japanese Tengu or something .. from Wikipedia... it said it was predominant in central asia mongolia and manchuria (god knows where the heck that place is)... but what is the principle of this faith?

[Giorgos]

Europe is not a single nation anyway.

Do Turks say "Merci" for thank you like western Armenians and Persians oddly do half the time? I mean, admittedly, it's easier than saying shnorhagalutyun...

Interesting question Tzimisces.I was born in 1981,and I recall merci being used couple of times here and there,when I was at the elementary school at the year 1989.I can't remember where I learnt it,but I also remember using the word myself.So at the end of the 80's this or that way the word was being used to some extent,here in Turkey.However today apparently it had completely vanished.I haven't heard "merci" from anyone for years.:hmmm:
