Komentaryos/Notes
This domain is based on speech by Eliezer Bivas and Izzet Bana, both speakers from Istanbul. It was edited by Rachel Bortnick (Izmir).
Peels (of a vegetable or egg): kashkarás and kashkás are both ways to say this (accents for pronunciation help only).
kashkaras is more common in Istanbul.
kashkas is more common in Izmir and Edirne.
Trash: there are many ways to say this.
chop comes from the Turkish çöp and is more common in Istanbul.
esierko has many variants: esierko, esierkol, sierkol, estierko, estierkol. Rachel, from Izmir, says esierko, and speakers from Istanbul who don't say chop (as well as the Perahya Ladino-Turkish dictionary) seem to prefer sierkol.
