The German word for this bird is "Pute". I guess it's called after the French.
The French word is "dinde", and the ethmology IIRC is "from India" (d'Inde)
Now, in French, "pute" is a derogatory term for a prostitute.

Do people actually hate Turkish people? I know they can be obnoxious in online games, but in real life they are pretty wholesome. And I think It's generally the same for all Turkic peoples, but I haven't met many.
People hate Turkish people because they hate immigrants (for no reason), and there's some Turkish immigrant community in Europe.
Well, there's the human rights violations, the denial of the genocide they committed, the complete tyrant that's ruining their country...

What is the most popular tv series in nato?
Figured that would be EuroVision or whatever that music competition is called. Which is not from the US.

Let's think about the country and see if we can come up with any possible problems somebody might have with it.
Yes it's in NATO but I'm pretty certain that NATO simply has them because they would prefer to have them inside pissing out.
My Armenian neighbors would like to have a word
Maybe it's because of it's autocrat leader?
Right? That country started backsliding democratically a while ago. They’ve suffered from nationalism, populism, and conservatism that landed them essentially a right wing authoritarian. The fact that trump likes Erdogan should be warning enough that all is not well in Turkey.
On a business trip, with some HQ people we visited the partially owned branch of our company in Ankara last year.
We had a super nice and MBA-educated host from investor relations lead us through the day. It was all going well, until a few drinks into dinner, he shared how the CIA funded the terrorist Gülen to ruin the country, and that’s why they have high inflation, etc. I of course smiled along, but was surprised he thinks this way.
I am originally from an eastern European authoritarian country, and 99% of my experience have been that white collar people are cynical and hate the shit government, even if they have to go along with the bullshit propaganda to keep their jobs.
Also, their capital Ankara is quite the shithole, sorry. It has sparkling skyscrapers, but it’s orders of magnitudes behind in livability compared to even to poor European capitals in the Balkans. Blackouts in a luxury hotel, asphalt breaking off the road an hitting our car, concrete jungle of multi-lane roads with no walkability, fast asshole-style driving (not even letting ambulance pass) causing massive traffic.
It’s just a very different world and culture.
Taxi drivers in Turkey are a fucking nightmare to deal with
All drivers in Turkey are a nightmare to deal with.
to me its also the turkish persecution of and brutal fight against the kurdish movement, where they will go as far as bombing civilians even outside their own country and work with islamist militias

What is/are these tv series?
I think he means in general https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-worlds-second-highest-tv-series-exporter-after-us-73478
I would be surprised if this were still true given the popularity of East Asian television shows these days.

That bird Is called Turkey in English
It's called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages
In India it is also named after Turkey
The Arabic word for it translates to East Africa
Malaysians call it Dutch Chicken
In Cambodia its French chicken
And the fucking bird comes from North America
they thought the bird came from Turkey iirc, that's why it's named like that. 🦃
In Portuguese is called Perú
In Australia it's called landgoose
just to clarify, the bird is called peru. Peru (another country) is called Peru and Turkey is called Turquia
i felt the need to clarify because i feel people might think you meant Peru is how we call Turkey (country).
edit: it's both peru with a normal u, not a ú
This thread needs a diagram.
So there are two countries named Turkey? 🤔
in portuguese the country peru is called peru, the turkey (bird) is called peru, and turkey (country) is called turquia
so only one is actually called turkey, sadly
edit: none of the peru have a ú, i'm dumb
so like, close, but no cigar.
