What does sugraq mean?

Bulancak means turbid water!

There is a town called Bulancak in Turkey, Giresun.

We have forgotten the meaning of turbid water. We have to use two words to describe a turbid water, turbid water!

I'm so sorry! What do you mean? Why?

I'm just upset, there's no reason.

To upset used to mean to hurt. In the Orkhon inscriptions from 735, it is mentioned with the meaning of breaking. Actually, it has the same meaning today. However, the meaning of breaking something has lost its meaning today, the meaning of breaking a person has remained.

"Yinçge erklig üzgeli uçuz", it is easy to break when it is thin.

What does grape mean? Do you know this?

Of course I know, is that a question? We eat them with pleasure, we eat the grapes ourselves. Who doesn't know grapes? I love them.

Did you know that grapes come from the word "grief"?

Maybe it means to break, to pluck, to pluck fruit.

It is mentioned in 1073 in Kashgari's Divan-i Lügat-it-Türk. In other words, we have been familiar with grapes for a long time.

So, what's a "watery"? 

I don't know. Could it be something to do with water?

It means goblet, it's not even in the dictionaries.

Kadeh is Arabic! Suğrak is the original Turkish. It's forgotten today.

But there's also glass! We say "bardak"!

Yes, we also use bardak, you are right, bardak is Turkish.

But bardak doesn't seem to be the exact equivalent of a goblet, in fact, glasses used to be made of earth. Bart, a word evolved from water jug. It actually means small water jug, testicik!

The correct word for a goblet, the utensil used for drinking water, is suğrak. 

Today this word has been forgotten.

* Look, there is also "cup" that we use, cup is a Greek word.

* There is a bowl, Arabic!

* There's bowl, Persian!

There is "Çanak", "çanak" is Turkish, but it has its roots in Chinese, "zhan" in Chinese means wine goblet, çan, çanak come from this root.

I don't know if Chinese has anything to do with the bell we know, maybe. In the dictionary, it is written that the origin of the word bell is chang. Yes, it is of Chinese origin.

In short, we can call the glass we use to drink water "suğrak", it is authentic Turkish, don't hesitate, use it.

The oldest Turkish dictionary, Kashgarli Mahmut's Divan-ı Lügat-it Türk, contains about 9,000 Turkish words. 

Many of them (2500 of them!) are not used today or have lost their meaning.

I think it would be useful for everyone to buy and read this dictionary. At least we will slowly remember the forgotten words.

I thought I would look at some words today.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
