Kak talsor, isn't ''Zêtun'' also another way to spell ''olives''? And for ''Apple'' it can be spelled ''Sêw'' too?

@Kubilay, the red apples made me think of another kind of Red Apple.

Yes Kak Baris , what I wrote is the Kurmanji version .

Can someone help me translate these phrases?


- Thank you
- Have a nice day
- I love you
- How are you
- What are you doing
- Good morning/Good night

[Barış]

- Thank you = Sopas dekem
- Have a nice day = Rojêkî xoş
- I love you = Xoştim dewê
- How are you = Çonî
- What are you doing = To çetkay (sp)
- Good morning/Good night = Beyanî baş/ Êware baş

[kurd-sthanam]

- Thank you - Spas (dikim)
- Have a nice day - xwe mezke (see you self)
- I love you - (ez) te hezdikim
- How are you - chawaní?
- What are you doing - tu chi dikí?
- Good morning/Good night - roj bash(good day), évar bash, shev bash, sheva xwedé li ser te xwesh be (may god's night be nice on you)

"i" are read as i in english "is", í as ee in "see"

the question is whichof two beutiful kurdish languages Paula is interested in. i think she may get confused with your two posts, my friends .
Paula - the first post is in sorani language spoken in South Kurdistan (Kurdistan Autonomous Region) and in East part of the country (under iranian occupation), the other post is in kurmandji, spoken in North Kurdistan (under turkish occupation). for sorani, which originally has different alphabet, different script, its a little bit difficult to write the words in latin script, the pronunciation might be a little bit not exactly like its writen.

on that page you can listen to pronunciation - only the words, but i think its quite good website. you just click on the topic and it open the page with pics (for example fruits) and when you click on the pic it will gives you pronunciation. maybe it will be useful.
greetings - kateky xosh

[Kulka]

dont worry Kubilay, its nothing wrong. sometimes i like to talk with my brothers with our secret language . ups - with a part of my brothewrs who are sorani. but i promise i will learn some secret language for my kurmandji brothers as well.

kaka Diako - ashti, bale? tosh brakay mni - be avatar xosh niya, wa ya? Kurdistan pilingi jihana! wakuu mn, mn pilingi Kurdistanm

[kurd-sthanam]

wakuu mn, mn pilingi Kurdistanm

biboríne lé tu bi tene ne pilingé kurdistanéyí.

[Kulka]

wakuu mn, mn pilingi Kurdistanm

biboríne lé tu bi tene ne pilingé kurdistanéyí.

ba sorani tkaya

[Kulka]

is "le tu bi tene ne..." the same as "ne bi tene... le ji"

[Kubilay]

Why the secret language? When people dont understand they then feel like a outsider.

[Kulka]

are you Kurd, Kurd by heart or kurdish, Kubilay?

[Paula]

Thanks for the translations!!

And thanks Kulka for explaining it to me, I have visited that page before and it is very helpful!

Is kurmandji the same as badini?
