The editors of the German magazine Kulturaustausch ("Exchange of culture") organized a contest of words from around the world. At the end of 2007, the most beautiful expression is found to the Turkish "YAKAMOZ", whose meaning can be translated into Italian with at least six words means "the moon's reflection on water."
we have all the words of the heart. Are terms of daily use, diminutive, pet names, sometimes in dialect, expressions that are of importance particular, able to be poetic or perhaps even gross.
Based on this assumption has moved the magazine German Kulturaustausch ("Exchanging Cultures") during the year organized a race between words from around the world. At the end of 2007, the most beautiful expression was chosen: and found the Turkish "YAKAMOZ", meaning in Italian (and German) is translatable at least six words means "the moon's reflection on water ".
The competition took place among hundreds of words sent from 58 different countries on every continent. Last month, the jury selected the top 7. "Yakamoz" has so wrought in sequence China's "hu lu" (to sleep with deep breathing, but also for some snoring), the African language of the Baganda term "volongoto" (chaotic), the Norwegian "Oppholdsvaer" (the light of day after the rain), the term "Madala "Hausa African people (thank God), the Brazilian" saudade "(widely known as nostalgia) and the Ukrainian" Perekotipole "(the rider of the desert). Far behind the Italian expressions submitted by the proposers. To enter one of the top twenty was the word "jinx" over, not even do it on purpose, to 17th place. Further down and an expression that is not classified but deserved better luck, and that is "irony." The winner
"YAKAMOZ" and translates as "the moon's reflection on water." But it is also a term in the Turkish language is capable of assuming different values. Maybe it was indeed the multifaceted complexity of its meaning to prefer finally expressions from an onomatopoeic terms, or a simple timbre, most recognizable and known internationally. "Yakamoz" it also refers to the composition of these microorganisms can be formed under water, especially in the Bosphorus - the strait that runs through Istanbul, separating Europe and Asia geographically - and that, under the full moon, they are able to give a little sparkle to waves created by the oars of the fishermen and the reverb in the Istanbul used to be enraptured when at sea or sitting on the shore make the so-called "Alem", or "time to relax with friends," a phrase that I personally suggest for next year.
Some people might have more luck as the German proposals "Kristallklar" (crystal clear), the French "souffle" (breathing) or the English "Caracol" (the coal face, as proposed by the Argentine players), or yet the Arab "Donia" (the world, life), the Persian "Wattana" (homeland), and the Finnish "Vazhaippazham" (which simply means banana). Even the African (even from the Hausa language) "Kwangaba - Kwangbaya", a word from the meanings Multiple: indecision, irresolution, but also - with an opinion on Democratic endemic instability on the continent - clearly expressed as "a step forward and one step back."
not be excluded, in short, a new edition of the game. In Berlin, the winner of Turkey, Aydin Rana, a resident of Belgium, withdrew recognition in recent days: "It is simply beautiful - he said, referring to his proposal - compress into a single word that means that the term" YAKAMOZ ". Big party in Ankara, where the best fish restaurant in the Turkish capital is located in high Gaziosmanpasha. It is called precisely "Yakamoz" the fish is cooked on pans of wood that once reached the ideal temperature, are served directly on the table. From now on, imagining the moon's reflection on the Bosphorus.
I still do considerable other 2 beautiful: love and peace.
