What the frickity frice
I don’t like dry turkey
word magick
actually the correct transliteration is Türkiye
but just like always people got jokes
??
You mean the phonetics of turkey?
I mean how it should be spelled.
ˈtərkē
Well that’s how you say it
Why should it be spelled that way
It’s etymological roots are both English
Idk why you would include so many accents
Turks spell it as Türkiye so it should be spelled as Türkiye
Well Chinese pronounce it as 火鸡
Huǒ jī
So why isn’t that the correct one
Country Names are said differently in different countries
Chinese people do not use the word Mandarin to refer to the Chinese language.
foreigners always have to screw stuff up
Ah I see what you’re doing
Well they say either 普通话 or just 汉语
Mandarin is actually the Beijing dialect of the overall group of languages spoken in many parts of China. ... In Mainland China, Mandarin is referred to as Putonghua (普通话), literally "the common language".
Ye
Mandarin is a form of the Chinese language. Some call it a dialect. Chinese is an umbrella language term that encompasses multiple dialects/languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, and more. When you look at it closely, there are actually over 200 dialects of Chinese!
Better explanation
Here’s its etymology
So idk of your foreigner presumption is correct
no
talk to a Chinese person
and ask them the Chinese word they use
Mate I’ve spoken Chinese for 5 years
the term Mandarin is something foreigners use
I don't care if you've spoken Chinese for 10 years
same thing as believing what NASA is real when its not
Woah woah woah
That’s a fallacy right there
the lounge is not for debates
Post hoc fallacy
