New page

Turkish: "Old World" (but see below). Circle dance by [[Tamir Scherzer]] and [[Gadi Bitton]], 2021.

The title as written is a regional mispronunciation; it should be ''Koca'' Dünya. A Turkish expert writes: "K <-> G happens, not only in rural (esp. eastern) Turkish but also in Persian where they often pronounce ق like g rather than q as in Arabic."

On the meaning of that first word, our expert writes:

<blockquote>
Koca can mean "large," or it can mean "old," depending on the context. I see in [https://lyricstranslate.com/en/goca-d%C3%BCnya-goca-d%C3%BCnya.html the lyrics] that they played it safe and wrote "big old world." I think that in the song it is more likely to mean "old", as in "hey, old friend, how are you?"
