- The country of Turkey just changed its name to Türkiye. And, while I respect their desire to make their name more authentic to who they are, I think they missed a big opportunity.

As a Persian, I've always called this country "Türkiye" and wondered "Why do we call it Türkiye but it's written as Turkey on the map?"
and the answer was like what "Abdurrahman Tarakta" commented here.
also, let me break this word down
• Turk / تُرک = is a name given to a special ethnic group of people how speak Turkic
• Turkey / تُرکی =The word I wrote in Persian is pronounced like the word "Turkey", but it means "Turkic" Which is the language they speak
• Türkiye / تُرکیه = is one of which countries where their people speak Turkic. We (in Iran) also have Turk too which speaks Turkic BUT in a different kind of dialect
Thus, It has always been "Türkiye" here in the East, But apparently the political powers had made a different decision about writing it on paper long time ago...
Great info and perspective. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 🙏🏼
As a Turk living in Turkey, let me answer your question. The reason for the name change is not because it is a bird name. No one in Turkey has a problem with this. Because we call that bird "hindi" which means Indian:) This change is more related to the axis change. The administration sees this name as a name given by westerners. This name reminds us of the days when Turkey was a satellite of the west. This is not a western-oriented move, even though the advertisement shows that. It is more a matter related to the internal dynamics of the country.
Great input, thanks. I'm not surprised by what you're saying at all. I am surprised, however, at how the leadership of Turkiyë have handled the change.
As a Turkish person, I've never even heard of this movement. It's not big in Turkey there is so many problems going on.
I don't understand,that conection with the Bird It's only in english, in spanish the bird "Pavo" doesn't relate to "Turquía"
Not sure why, but I guess it’s really bothering the country’s leadership. Lol
And it's an American thing to eat a turkey on the holidays. There is no Thanksgiving outside of North America. Which makes it doubly weird to want to change the name for that reason.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, change your name by all means, but why pin it on what Yankees think??
The most curious thing is that in Brazil "turkey" means "Peru", our neighboring country
Language is a funny thing.
*TURKYA* would be a better name for them and for the rest of the world.
Turkia, Turkiya, Turkeya, Turkea all are valid and relevent.
It would certainly be easier for Westerners to remember and say-not that we should be the deciding factor. Is Turkya a popular way to say it there?
@@MikeGastin As an arabic speaker, yes. We call it like so.
In addition to that, most country names finish by the IA "iə" suffix so why not 🤗
A bird-brained rationale for changing the name.
That would have been a great title for this vid!!! Nice one! 👊🏼
Totally unrelated (except for Turkey) but this reminds me of my favorite SEO clip of all time (and what pushed me over the edge on Google): ruclips.net/video/FFGT3LGcEjY/видео.html (watch 3 minutes from there)
Ouch! Bro ...
‘Turkiye’ is the way it’s pronounced in Turkish, only different to non Turks.
❤
I used 3 different ways to describe other than Turkey.
If I was to describe my country of origin I would say ‘Turkiye’ before the name change applied.
Ah, good to know. I think any country should be known by what it's people call it. However, I think the Turkish government didn't do as good a job as they should have rolling this out to the world.
Somewhere Ben Franklin is looking down and shaking his head at the disparage of a truly respectable bird.
This 👆🏼!!! I wanted to make a Ben Franklin reference so bad in this vid. Glad you did in the comment! 😂
repeat after me. Er-DO(like du)-Gan
good. now you got it right :)
IKR? It should not have been so difficult. 😂
Super random, but do you know how crazy their currency crisis is? You can go look up the USDTRY exchange rate and TRY is becoming extremely weak compared to all other currencies. Just found it super fascinating. If you bought USDTRY yesterday you would have had 101% today😂 But ya at least they have a new name and the country itself is beautiful and the people are very kind
I had no idea! Look, the country has real problems. Erdogan practically imprisoned all of his political opponents back a few years. I can’t imagine they’re able to keep their economy strong under such a strong fist. Do you happen to know what’s causing the drop?
@@MikeGastin I do not know for sure what is causing this. I know they are mainly dependant on foreign funding, and every day it follows the same pattern and TRY gets more inflated. But I do not know for sure what is causing this. Just know that some people are really struggling. But I did not know he imprisoned those people. Crazy.
@@andreventer2703 The whole world is crazy right now. Fundamentals are not right, massive changes and disruptions, political movements are driving upheaval. Even so, it's a great time to be alive!
@@MikeGastin Insane. Thanks for the informative content though :)
As a Turkish person, there are lot's of problems in Turkey certain people need to take care of.
I understand. It seems like every country these days has serious problems to fix.
@@MikeGastin Totally, btw love your videos keep up the good work!
@@suzyrodikli4 Thanks! I have been so bad at being consistent here, but am hoping 2023 will be different. Messages like yours help a lot. :)
@@MikeGastin Thankful that I met you! The knowledge you share is incredible. You'll definitely reach somewhere, you really are authentic
@@suzyrodikli4 🙏
I had no idea Turkey was changing it's name! Now I can't stop hearing 'take me back to Constantinople' in my head.
I can’t tell you how tempted I was to make a They Might Be Giants reference in this vid!
Its ya boi, Mike. Total swing and miss.. there is more world than there is Türkiye
I was kinda surprised at how they handled the roll out. I don't presume to know that the right name is, but man, they missed the bus on how to share it with the world.
@@MikeGastin exactly. I dont think Turkey when I think of Turkey
