English Language - İngilizce
Let's face it English is a stupid language. There is no egg in the eggplant ((i.) patlıcan), no ham (jambon) in the hamburger, and neither pine (çam) nor apple (elma) in the pineapple (ananas). English muffins were not invented in England, French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted, but if we examine its paradoxes we find that quicksand (bataklık) takes you down slowly. Boxing rings are square and a guinea pig (kobay) is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phone booth (kulübe) be phone beeth. If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher (hatip) praught
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what the heck does a humanitarian (insancıl) eat!? Why do people recite (ezberden okumak) at a play, yet play at a recital (resital)? Park on driveway garaj ile cadde arasındaki özel yol and drive on parkways (ağaçlı yol)?
You have to marvel (hayret etmek) at the unique lunacy ((i.) delilik) of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down. And in which you fill in a form by filling it out. And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (ırk)(which of course isn't a race (ırk) at all)
That is why when the stars are out they are visible; but when the lights are out they are invisible. And why it is that when I wind up (sona ermek) my watch it starts; But when I wind up (sona ermek) this observation, it ends.
