Malchik Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 If Turkey joins the EU no doubt some of its major chains of shops will make their way into other European cities. This is one. Does anyone know how we should pronounce it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 To my understanding, here the 'a' is mostly silent and emphasis is placed on the consonants; remembering that a non-modified 'i' is pronounced like the 'e' in "open," this will give you "R-che-leck." Furthermore, Arçelik probably doesn't have many plans for moving out of Turkey, as they have a well-established name there, and their parent company already drives a profit from other areas by way of BEKO, which you may already know of, since they operate primarity in British territory. I would think that at this time, some of you are wondering how I came to know so much about Turkish electronics manufacturers -- the plain and simple truth is that I spent some time in a Turkish prison; it was not a pleasant experience by the whole, and I do not with to dscuss it further.

Malchik Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 MB we love you! To be honest it was meant to be amusing, as to the untutored eye it reads as 'arse lick', and the English term arse-licking means being sycophantic to your superiors (possibly also in the US although I suspect the expression there is 'butt kissing'). I saw the film Midnight Express (I think that was the name of it) certainly I would not want to spend time in a prison in Turkey. I'm glad you survived the ordeal.

Stampede Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Generally I agree, they are. Their youth affords them that privilage. However, be careful of putting other members of this forum into a box based purely on their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
