Komentaryos/Notes
This domain is based on speech by Feride Petilon, a speaker from Istanbul, who made sandwiches for her grandchildren while we recorded. It was edited by Rachel Bortnick (Izmir).
Pickles: turshis and trushis are both ways to say this.
turshis is more common in Istanbul.
trushis is more common in Izmir.
Bowl: there are lots of ways to say this depending on the dialect and the size and use.
chanáka comes from the Turkish çanak. In Istanbul, it can refer to a bowl for eating food. In Izmir, it refers to a chamber pot!
bol is a Latin-origin word. It is used in Izmir.
plato ondo is a Latin-origin term literally meaning "deep plate," also used in Izmir for flatter-style serving bowls for yogurt, soup, etc.
kase comes from the Turkish kâse and is used by some speakers from Istanbul.
Salud i berahá!
Literally "health and blessing" (berahá comes from the Hebrew word for blessing), this is a common Ladino expression said before eating.
