A couple of interesting facts related to the article:
1. The arabic word "finjan" adapted to "fincan" in Turkish means cup, as in the type of vessel used for any type of coffee, not only kahve. The "fincan" may have a handle.
2. Greeks are not the only ones to use mastic in their kahve. Some Turkish people not necessarily of Greek descent add it to their kahve and many other things.
- sdiq 7y agoI am not Turkish and neither write nor speak the language, however, based on how i see the Erdogan's first name with a 'c' ia pronounced, the two words are probably pronounced the same i.e. 'finjan'. I am Somali and we used to use the same word for a vessel bigger than a cup. I don't see people use the same nowadays tho.
