Day 1,485, 11:28 Published in Cyprus Cyprus by KypriosEL

Αγαπητοί φίλοι, συνεχίζουμε με το δεύτερο μέρος της παρουσίασης των κοινών λέξεων μεταξύ Ελλήνων και Τούρκων. Το ενδιαφέρον που δείξατε όλοι στο προηγούμενο άρθρο ήταν πολύ μεγάλο και σας ευχαριστώ γι αυτό. Δυστυχώς δεν έλειψαν και οι αντιδράσεις από κάποιους παρόλο που χρησιμοποιούν αυτές τις λέξεις καθημερινά. Στα άρθρα αυτά δεν θα ασχοληθώ με την καταγωγή των λέξεων αλλά μόνο με το γεγονός ότι είναι κοινές μεταξύ των δύο λαών.
Ας κάνουμε όλοι μια προσπάθεια να δούμε τα κοινά χαρακτηριστικά και αξίες που έχουμε και όχι αυτά που μας χωρίζουν! Πολλά μπορούν να αλλάξουν μετά από αυτό…
Στο δεύτερο άρθρο θα ασχοληθούμε με τις λέξεις από (ντ), (ε) και (φ)



Dear friends, panpas, we continue with the second part of the presentation of the common words between Greeks and Turks. I want to thank you for showing such a great interest on the previous article. Unfortunately we had reactions from some people although they use these words everyday in their life. In these articles i will not deal with the origin of the words but only with the fact that are common between the two people.
Lets all make an effort to discover our common characteristics and values and not those things that separate us! Many things can change after this….
In the second article we will deal with words starting with (d), (e) and (f)
