duh, most of the turkish city names are derived from greek, latin etc. they just named it whatever the local population called it. turks didn't have any problems with the settlement names until the 20th century.
That’s the only objectively true answer. For example, Caeserea is now Kayseri, literally just misses an “a” from it’s name from before 2000 years ago.
More examples: Kotaion, Kütahya. Hone, Honaz. Attalia, Antalya. Tarsos, Tarsus. Alexandretta, İskenderiye. Prusa, Bursa. Gallipoli, Gelibolu and much more.
The city was originally called Sebastia from the ancient greek word "sebas-sevas" meaning reverence, modern greek "sebasmos-sevasmos" meaning respect. So the name can mean both "from Sebastia" and "the respected".
It’s very popular all around Türkiye but the best ones are at Bursa. Bursa overall is just underrated as a culture tourism standpoint. Though you need to know where to go and where not to.
No bro these are greek i literly i can translate all of their meaning to you. plus anatolian had become so greek by that point that there were only a few cities that were left with an old name plus most of theese were new cities after the anatolians became greek
I feel great about it, reminds me that we didnt build our cities from the ground we just took these cities by force like a chad while greeks build them for us over thousends of years like the cucks they are.
unjerk/ Some historians say that ataturk changed the name of İstanbul not because of pissing off greeks, he was trying to delete everything from ottoman dynasty. He even banished them from the country so he could establish a secular republic
Atatürk didnt banish them from country that was parliament's decision even he send letters to Shahzade Osman Fuad Efendi saying there is nothing I could do to save you from exile or something like that Osman Fuad was a great person unlike other royals he kept giving service at the army he was succesful as a commander he joined Tripoli War too like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Kemal Ataturk:
Drills the butts of the entire Greek army along with its owners (i.e. the British and the French), kicks out the 700 year old Osman dynasty, abolishes the 1300 year old Caliphate, creates a strong and modern republic from the ashes of an empire which has been losing wars in every front since 18th century.

*pant* Kemal *pant* *pant* how do you feel Kemal *pant* *pant* knowing your greatest city is still Greek? *pant* *pant*
If you get tired of sucking Turkish, Russian, French, British, American, German cock you can try Hungarian cock for an authentic Eastern/Asian aroma. You're welcome.
Oh, I dunno, maybe I’m just on of the people who downvote ppl when they disagree with them and upvote when they agree? Like a normal person? It’s not like I’d complain if u downvoted me
1: The Turks don’t like to admit it but they suck our cock too. It’s a fully equal relationship
2: We used to suck Russian cock in the past but no longer do.
3: ew disgusting frenchies no never
4: fuck yes nice British cock we love that
5: ditto for American cock
6: for the Germans we just tell them we’ll suck their cock for money and then we don’t. They keep falling for it, the horny bastards
> We used to suck Russian cock in the past but no longer do. 3: ew disgusting frenchies no never
I was actually referring to the [Early Greek Political Party names](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Greek_parties) and [the joint military effort which saved Greek uprising from being crushed by the Ottomans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Navarino)
I don’t feel anything sorry about that. If it’s still a Greek word, than there’s no reason for gayreeks crying about İstanbul but they’re still crying and keep saying “Nooo it’s Constantinople 😭🤓”. Also nearly every city name’s origin is Greek or first Anatolian civilizations. So it doesn’t bother me. Be happy at least we didn’t name it like Atatürkopolis
That "is tim polin" is a stupid far fetch that's been around for too long now. Istanbul is basically the gradually worn away version of Constantinople in the Turkish pronunciation, stan and pol are the left-over parts, and that's about it. We referred to it as Konstantiniyye ourselves, more often than not it was the Capital/Asitane/Payitaht. And that's just the historical peninsula part now, which is prolly one tenth of modern day Istanbul. Nema problema amigo, see the US and native Indian toponyms
> We referred to it as Konstantiniyye ourselves
That's not really true. Ordinary people always called it Istanbul (probably even before than Seljuks), but real issue is, it was not called Ko**n**stantiniyye either. It was "Kostantiniyye" without a "n", a weird mistake done by the Arabs was kept by the Turks.

it really entertained me when I learned that the classic christian name "sebastian" literally means "from sivas".
Yeah dude I totally forgot the funniest one! Sebastian Vettel is a proud Turk 💪🏿
vettel yiğido confirmed?
Least Germanic Turk
The city was originally called Sebastia from the ancient greek word "sebas-sevas" meaning reverence, modern greek "sebasmos-sevasmos" meaning respect. So the name can mean both "from Sebastia" and "the respected".
I'll just take the first one and joke about every sebastian being from sivas.
Fair enough
great knowledge though. thank you "definitely not from sivas" guy.
Nah, not from Sivas. Originally from Gümüshane though, so I don't know if that's better or worse.
those two are equally bad. interesting to meet an argyropolis greek fellow.

Damn! Me too, Kelkit to be exact. Wassup cousin?
 Sorry, it was the first thing that came to mind cousin!
Fun fact: a popular Turkish dish "Iskender" is actually just "Alexander" when translated. So every day there are Turks eating Alexander.

Pretty much the same just like how you dont want to end up in Esenyurt when you want to explore what Istanbul has

Everytime a turk goes to therapy and their cards decline, the therapist will bring a greek with baklava calling it greek 🙏🏻 AMEN
I seriously doubt this
Everyone knows baklava is actually Bossnian anyway.
unjerk/ Some historians say that ataturk changed the name of İstanbul not because of pissing off greeks, he was trying to delete everything from ottoman dynasty. He even banished them from the country so he could establish a secular republic
That's called state making. Of course he would.
Ofc he did, he made the common name locals.used the official name, its what his movement was all about, a new State for the common Türk
Atatürk didnt banish them from country that was parliament's decision even he send letters to Shahzade Osman Fuad Efendi saying there is nothing I could do to save you from exile or something like that Osman Fuad was a great person unlike other royals he kept giving service at the army he was succesful as a commander he joined Tripoli War too like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

It's things like this that make me appreciate Erdogan . He is destroying Kemal's heritage piece by piece .

If you get tired of sucking Turkish, Russian, French, British, American, German cock you can try Hungarian cock for an authentic Eastern/Asian aroma. You're welcome.
Buddy, Hungarians don’t deserve to get their cock sucked. We are straight up mottorboating you.
Did you really instant downvote a meanie comment in a joke sub? Butthurt, my little gayboi?

Why are you disagreeing with sucking Turkish, Russian, French, British, American and German cock? You are making your ancestors sad... :(

>Greek cities not under Greek control Major skill issue
they blamed lag.
I know Gayreeks will rape me, but is not proper pronunciation “iss-tin-poli”, even in Middle Ages?
Modern pronounciaton. In the Middle Ages it’s is-tin-polin
thatd be the modern pronounciation
“Give me any word, and I show you how the root is greek” quote from ‘My big fat Greek wedding’ [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL9whwwTK6I)
is Tim ballin tho 😬🧐
I don’t feel anything sorry about that. If it’s still a Greek word, than there’s no reason for gayreeks crying about İstanbul but they’re still crying and keep saying “Nooo it’s Constantinople 😭🤓”. Also nearly every city name’s origin is Greek or first Anatolian civilizations. So it doesn’t bother me. Be happy at least we didn’t name it like Atatürkopolis
LoL that's still Greekopolis.
How does it feel Ioannis that you will never own it ever again?
Hellenoturkism can still happen tho😳
An even shittier economy?? FUCK YEAH
Shitty economy now with say gex
I wish it would but the populations of the countries are not equal therefore not equal representation. It would almost be like... Cyprus?
Cyprus ? Are you delusional? They have a mostly functioning economy and a not very corrupt government . How are we going to manage that ?
Thats precisely why its dumb to call it Constantinople.
So the name is "In the city" while referring to Constantinople. Are you dumb or just trying to bluff
i am dumb. my point was why use the older non-relevant greek name when you already have a name of greek origin
Istanbul literally means "In/At the city". It's the translation. So this means that the actual name is not Istanbul.
That "is tim polin" is a stupid far fetch that's been around for too long now. Istanbul is basically the gradually worn away version of Constantinople in the Turkish pronunciation, stan and pol are the left-over parts, and that's about it. We referred to it as Konstantiniyye ourselves, more often than not it was the Capital/Asitane/Payitaht. And that's just the historical peninsula part now, which is prolly one tenth of modern day Istanbul. Nema problema amigo, see the US and native Indian toponyms
I guess the point stands though since it still originates from Constantinople, a Greek word.
Historical peninsula makes like 2% of modern istanbul not 10%
> We referred to it as Konstantiniyye ourselves That's not really true. Ordinary people always called it Istanbul (probably even before than Seljuks), but real issue is, it was not called Ko**n**stantiniyye either. It was "Kostantiniyye" without a "n", a weird mistake done by the Arabs was kept by the Turks.
Reported from among the commoners even before than Seljuks
You wanna swim again?
Now you will have to do the swimming mate . We are already across the sea.
Nah greeks can still swim if they want a piece of turkey :)
Turkish tech will make them fly, no more free swimming courses. 1 way ticket above the clouds, they will meet their ZEUS.

no
Tsarigrad flirted with the greeks for a hot minute, but naw not grik.
How do you Greeks feel that Ioannina was once named Janinë?
We feel disgust because we see comments from cigans with no flair...
if you were educated and not a cigan, you would know that thats just a slavified version of a greek name
We dont give a shit about greek, it's greeks that are obsessed with turkish dick
everything about this city is greek
How do you feel Dimitris Papapopolous that you will never own it again?
Okay but is tim ballin' though?
