Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Re: Armenian surnames?

    I agree with you (Lucin) that turkish(maybe over 70%) is a melange of arabic/persian but don't forget that it's just about the vocabulary...

      Re: Armenian surnames?

      Küreci/Kuredji is Turkish or not,the important thing is to help Sev_zeytun for finding its meaning.

      I am sure that its meaning is miner,because there was a profession as named Küreci/Kuredji in Ottomans.Maybe some people of your family had got a mine so they earned more money.

        Je ne crois pas ça!
        Il n'y a pas d'un mot comme curer en langue turc ,desolée!

          Garod, je suis d'accord avec toi. C'est pas vrai. "To mine" est extraire. Le verbe curer est "to clean out."

            Apparently it seemed important enough to you when you said: "I'm sorry that it comes from a Turkish verb "
            I simply reminded you of the realities.

            You may be sure, but it may or may not be the case. You seem to take your convinctions for facts.

            You said that "Küre" such as in "Kar Küremek" means "dig and clean;" the French "curer" - pronounced similarily to "Küre" - has a relatively similar meaning. In any case, much closer in meaning that "to mine."

            Too complicated and subtle?

              A little bit of focus and attention would not hurt! Nobody suggested that the French "curer" is "to mine." Just curious, how did you manage to make that conclusion?

              Most of all, "curer" means more than "to clean out"- there's a nuance; it means:
              "Nettoyer quelque chose en grattant, en raclant."



              To remind you, it was said:

              LOL Do you mine the snow???



              P.S. One last detail, "To mine" is definitely not "extraire."
              What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                  Re: Armenian surnames?

                  It means to extract (if you want to be exact) which is what you do to mine.
                  mine - traduction anglais-français. Forums pour discuter de mine, voir ses formes composées, des exemples et poser vos questions. Gratuit.


                  Plus garod said: "When we come the connection with your surname,I found on internet that there was a profession Küreci(Kuredji) and area Kürecilik in Ottoman Empire.Kürecilik is the work of a miner and Küreci (Kuredji) is miner especially mine of iron."

                  "Everybody knows that a word can have many meanings.Küre has got 2 meanings in Turkish,one of is the globe but it is not about your surname.Other's meaning is pin.It comes from verb "Küremek" whose meaning is dig and clean,I cannot tell its meaning clearly,but for example in Turkey people say Kar küremek (Clean and also dig snow )."

                  You said:

                  Can it be that this is a third meaning i.e. different from mining??? It seems to me."

                  It was my mistake in thinking that you were talking about the 1st quote(sorry, God knows what I was thinking ). Anyway, I still don't think that it works because to dig and clean is not the same as to clean by scratching or scraping away.

                  BTW: Merci beaucoup pour le dictionnaire. C'est excellent.

                    LOL "To mine" is not "extraire" - "To extract" is "extraire" - and I suggest that you use a decent dictionary if you want to have a decent discussion of words.

                    It's OK. I make sure to separate the paragraphs - as I did it - so readers won't be confused, LOL yet, you got confused???

                      Lets just say I skimmed a few things.
