Anyone Speak Turkish?

[Khandro]

What does 'Mülk Allah' mean in Turkish please? Google translate says "Propery of Allah". I want to use it in something and need assurance that this is correct.

Deary me don't upset yourself Robkep, and even funnier you're wrong on both counts, I am exactly what I say I am, just not your idea of what a 15 year old girl ought to be like, which I imagine is a good thing.

[Peter Pedant]

You're getting it ! Khandro.
You have alighted on an important point - Turkish (least iirregular language only the verb 'to be' is ) is an Indo European language - yes related to the language you are using now !
and Arabic is Semitic

But thosse Turks gave the Arabs (and Europeans) hell for at least 500 y
so the question arises of how many Arabic loan words there are in Turkish.

and is mulk Allah, a hybrid (one word from A and one from T)

in which case a parallel with mulk malik is clearly false.
(both of those come obvioiusly from the Arabic root of 'king' and is obviously correct for someone like God)

Oh, u umlauts:
Kemal Ataturk - bless - scrapped the use of arabic characters and substituted Latin Letters in reforms of 1922 - and a German speaker commented much later: oh ! all the vowels. are articulated on Germans vowels which explains why the unlaut sits on more letters than it doesnt

Dying to know what it means

and dont mind RobKep he clearly has eaten all his weeties this morning

I put my money on:

Dominion of God

would be relevant as well.....

Just to say, I haven't forgotten about this. As soon as my Dad finishes work and calls me back, I'll ask him and post it on here.

[Khandro]

baby_sham, If it's a phone call, please don't forget to mention the 'u-umlaut'. (see PeterPedant above.)

[Baby_Sham]

Well, after that great climax to "my Dad will know".... he didn't.

I have, however, sent a message to a Turkish man on my Facebook friends list and asked him to translate it for me.

Good old Dad...!

Although Turks don't speak Arabic but their language is not far from that. Mulk in Arabic means place, country, system, power etc. Allah obviously is God. So I would say it means something like "Land of Allah".

[Khandro]

keyplus; Thanks, I think that's somewhere near, and as it was on a banner held by a protester in Taksim Square being water cannoned, it would seem apt. My painting is nearing completion and it will be part of a background, - might even be the title!

[Peter Pedant]

by using ctrl+c to copy - mulk along with the umlaut

a turkish online dictionary for mulk gives:

possessions, property, possession, premises, estate, asset, condo, demesne, domain, freehold, hereditament, landed property, tenement

Peter; Off-topic, but I have to be wary of using symbols on AB, yesterday when I tried to use 'alt 248' to give the small circle symbol for 'degree' I lost the whole text, and this has happened to me before when trying others.
