“Bacaksız” word also mean child. Its a slang word and kind of an insult. For example we say “sen sus, bacaksız!” = “shut up you legless”. It has an under meaning like, “i know more than you do and you’re just a kid so shut up.”. Children are shorter than grown ups mostly so its a way of saying that “im grown up and you are just a child so you are not enough to do that”
@Cosmeti Moda the best city depends on ppl. Like maybe u like active city more than peaceful city etc... example i live in izmir and its the third largest city in the turkey. i can do a lot of things in here bc its too many ppl and entertainment things in here. If u wanna some peace u need to move to a small city.if u will ask me.I’ll say izmir .But if u want more ppl and things to do u can choose istanbul.lik Population of the istanbul are more than Newyork’s population.I dont like it cause istanbul is soo noisy to me.(but its good for teens and young ppl) second the biggest city of turkye is Ankara.I dont like there cause it hasnt any water like sea.U need to go vocation to istanbul, izmir, antalya(etc...)in summer. And its weather is hard.Or if u like foods or something u need to go to Antep,Şanlıurfa or another place in Eastern Anatolia of Turkey's.But i dont suggest it cause if u re comin from europe i think your brain does not match them
Hey Chelsea!! I am also living in Turkey :) But in Istanbul! We should make a video together one day! That would be so much fun. Enjoy your time here and hope we can meet one day and talk about our life in Turkey. Merry Christmas!
Trivia: soyadı kanunu çıktığında hangi soyadını alacağına karar veremeyenler için devlet bir liste yayınlamış. Bu listede Yılmaz, Kaya, Demir, Çelik gibi Türk insanın dayanıklılığına vurgu yapan kelimeler seçilmiş. Bu yüzden çok fazla insan bu soyisimleri almış

My grandfather wants his surname to be Kabak (Pumpkin) but the officer who knows him said: "You are a good and respectable person this surname does not fit you, I will give you Şölen (Feast)." And thanks to that officer my surname is not Kabak :D
It's not like people all picked names, usually, their local officer decided whether it's good or not. One of my uncles' last name is Kaba, unsurprisingly he's quite a rude person
Our surname is completely decided by local officer actually. :d As my father told me, our grandfather's uncle was working in the field when the officer came to village. And he forgot to go taking a surname. So our surname is Aldırmaz. Literally, "one who doesn't care" It is not our real family name, but no one has changed it xd
And in the UK, I had the BCG (tuberculosis) vaccination and in 1972 I had the smallpox vaccination, I think that's the last year it was given in the UK. Smallpox was eradicated by 1980, but the vaccination against it was still given to some US military long after that.

-Chelsea, the surname "Bacaksız" (is a word that has dual meanings), one of them is like "shorty" in a fun way as described, used mostly for non stop full of energy small child, and of course this is the figurative meaning .. The actual meaning of the word is "legless - someone that has no legs". If someone has that surname his/her ancestors may be a veteran who has lost his legs during independence war in 1919-1923
Let me tell you another one, Kulaksizoglu (the son of without ears), Greeks also have surnames in this fashion, its mostly written like olou instead of oglu, most of those Greeks are offsprings of Anatolian Greeks. Whenever you meet a Greek with a name like that, his/hers ancestors could be from Anatolia.
Not only Turkish people have vaccine scar actually, most of Georgian and Russian people have that. These scars are from the very firs vaccine and it was to prevent some diseases or bacterias, not really sure about that.
I am Turkish, have one vaccine scar in my forearm. Size is like a human eye and the skin is completely scarred, like it is burned. New 20 yr old generations don`t have it. I never saw it in Russian people but maybe I didn`t notice. Edit: It may be called BCG vaccine. I vaguely remember crying like hell from my childhood.
Actually in Turkey, there are 4 types of passwords. First one is ordinary passport which is the burgundy/red one and most people can have it. Second one is special passport which is the green one and like you said only the people who worked on some government facilities can have it. Third one is service passport which is the gray one and people who works for some international entities like United Nations can have it. Forth and the last one is diplomatic passport which is the black one and as you can understand from the name a very little group of people -like diplomats or head judges etc.- can have it.

it is so hard to win college in Turkey. You must work at the same time Physic, Chemy, Biology, Turkish(advanced) History, Geography, Philosphy, Islamic Science (generally easy) Maths(advanced) Pshycology. Them you must prove yourself in your field. Lots of Turkish couldn't make it. I hardly win a college even though I worked hard. I mean it is so hard win qualified college but you can also search another ones.
The scar is from BCG vaccination. Not sure if it's still the case, but when I was a child I had to get a repeat dose because I didn't get the scar. Doctors would say the vaccine didn't work without the scar and recommend the repeat. AFAIK BCG vaccine is very widely applied in middle eastern region in general, but not in mandatory vaccination program in most western countries. Lastly, smallpox usually leaves scars that look similar to the vaccine scar, and both does look like the one in the picture.
The "oğlu" suffix isn't always used with father's or grandfather's name. Sometimes they've chosen some word they relate to, they like or they think sounds cool and added "oğlu" in the end. There are surnames like Ateşoğlu (son of fire), Eroğlu (son of a man/soldier), Hekimoğlu (Son of doctor/healer), Denizoğlu (son of sea), etc...
As far as the vaccine scars go, many Lithuanians have them too. My parents scars are much more visible (on the left shoulder as well). I have one too, but mine is barely visible, so I assume somewhere along the way changes were made to the vaccine.
Proabably his grandpa lost his legs on WW1. Because my relative surname is TEKAYAK means oneleg. He lost his 1 leg when a bomb exploded in WW1. Actually the reason may be they didn't call his name they called him nickname which was Legless
If you were born in Turkey before the eradication of smallpox(before 1980) you would have a scar in your forearm as big as 1 turkish lira coin. So the scar you didnt know is actually for smallpox :). The scars on our shoulders are from when we are born. I'm 23 and i have two of them, 1 for tuberculosis and the other is mixed for various diseases. I dont have the smallpox scar :)
Hi Chealsea. Some surnames relate to peoples nick names at the time they have taken those surnames. Like in the example you have given, bacaksiz. Also I live in Sydney and like you mentioned we have been using those cigarette packagings for few years now. I don't know if those packagings work but the fact that the government here puts ridiculous amounts of tax on tobacco products really piss people off. People pay up to $50 here for a packet of cigarettes. Love your show, keep up the good work.
Especially ın these days, we understand more that a balcony or a terrace is the best wonderful thing to have. I wish enjoyable quarantine days for everyone.
it's a very smart move for the Turkish government to discourage smoking.. though I hope it works. Not sure but I hear most of the people in Turkey smokes.
The ring light makes your skin/complection so better! I was trying to work out if you did you make up different in your learn Turkish video but it's the ring light :))
I know one whose ancestor bravely fought in the Turkish independence war, although he was wounded. He refused to give up in declaring that his wounds were little (“yaram az”). After the war he got the name “Yaram-az” as a kind of appreciation, but finally in his documents the hyphen was forgotten and his name was written “Yaramaz”, which is less glorious as it means “useless”.
"Sesver" means "give a voice" 😂😂😂 I don't have any idea why my grandfather's father has taken that last same. And also, i haven't met any stranger so far who has that last name. Only my father's relatives have it.
It has been a bit time since you made this video but I am a new subscriber so I just watched this one and I wanted to say that I had a teacher when I was at high school whose last name was "deli" and it means "mad person" that is kind of weird. 🤣🤣

that scar is left from "çiçek aşısı" as far as i know. so yes it is "smallpox". someone said a different vaccine name in the comments so im not pretty sure. some years ago my mom explained it to me as "smallpox was very bad back in the 60s in turkey and so many children were affected so it became mandatory for every child to be vaccinated when their age came" and that is the extent of mt knowledge. ^^
Chelsea is on the way becoming a real fully Turkush citizen, she knows more about Turkey than most Turks i guess ...i like your videos / vloggs btw . Your amazing Chelsea 👍
There is a grey passport option too if you are going out from Turkey as an attendant, state can give you that kind of passport. It's like a periodic passport. "Oh your work is done, right? Then your passport too. Have a nice day sir!" type passport lets say. lol If you want a spesific example i got one for you. If you are a national athlete and you have a Tournament at an another country state will give you that passport to travel.
Without leg. 😁 I laughed there while watching. But it is correct. An interesting surname. I agree. Hey Chelsea, BTW, we want your videos with English subtitles. We still need English subtitles while watching, listening your videos. 🔊 Lastly, your cats are legend 😁
The green Turkish passport is visa exempt in all European countries except the UK and Ireland. However, the UK and Ireland also require visas from green Turkish passport holders.
the cigarette packets in the UK are exactly the same ones as in Turkey now. it changed here in may 2016. great vlog, please keep safe, regards from London
Yeah, everybody was able to choose a last name, but there were some rules, obviously. Like, an interesting one is that all last names being registered with a local government had to be unique. Some surnames are super frequent, but they have to be different at least at family registration level (which is also used for exended identification) My gran's father ended up with a very weird last name because the ones they applied for were already taken, so the registry worker proposed two, and he chose the less weird one.
@@p4saqqq It's too unique and part of my family still has it, so I can't share it for privacy sake, sorry :) I can say it's not even something in the dictionary so it's a mystery how in the world it was on the list.
The vaccine scar on the left biceps is the tuberculosis vaccine. The one on the forearm that hasn't been using since 1980 is the smallpox vaccine. Turkey is still has a great amount of tuberculosis case, so we still vaccinate people for it.
I had a lot of vaccine shots when I was a kid since it's a mandatory thing here in the Philippines but I don't have any vaccine scars at all. There were people who got it though. Btw I find those black roses interesting too 😍 And we've got the same cigarette packaging here lol. Love your videos! ❤

I think some people picked their nicknames as their last names, this is also why people have weird last names now like bacaksız, kıllı, ayı, şişko, etc.
Hi Chelsea ! I can understand their speech even though ı know English very well.you say the words very clearly.ı dont know what is your job if you open an online language course, ı will be one of the first signers.😊
My boyfriend is from Nigeria and also has a vaccine scar (I also think from smallpox vaccine). I remember being intrigued about it as well when we started dating.
We also have that scar in Brazil. Here we call it BCG vaccine, it prevents us from severe forms of tuberculosis. It used to be applied in two doses, the first when you were born and the second one when you turned 6 years old. From 2006 on the government cancelled the second dose. Having two scars is a sign you are old!
I saw black roses live in the gardens around old town Halfeti. The locals told us that if we take the seeds and plant somewhere else, they wouldn't grow black, or if we take them away in pots as grown in the original soil, they'd lose black color. Briefly, black rose is endemic only in Halfeti region.
In India🇮🇳, we also have vaccine scars. And the concept of Surname is similar to India as most of us have surnames according to the occupation of our ancestors during ancient times. 😅

that scar is left from "çiçek aşısı" as far as i know. so yes it is "smallpox". someone said a different vaccine name in the comments so im not pretty sure. some years ago my mom explained it to me as "smallpox was very bad back in the 60s in turkey and so many children were affected so it became mandatory for every child to be vaccinated when their age came" and that is the extent of mt knowledge. ^^
Actually, in Indonesia people got vaccine scar too
In Austria too
@@dilara6403 ohh really? I think it's common in few countries
In Japan too.
@@harukot2552 good to know:)
Black roses are my favourite flowers.
Chelsea is on the way becoming a real fully Turkush citizen, she knows more about Turkey than most Turks i guess ...i like your videos / vloggs btw . Your amazing Chelsea 👍
The room looks so peacful🥺🥺 I hope you're doing well💓💓
You speak turkısh very well 🙂
I loved this video!! thank you Chelsea 😍
There is a grey passport option too if you are going out from Turkey as an attendant, state can give you that kind of passport. It's like a periodic passport. "Oh your work is done, right? Then your passport too. Have a nice day sir!" type passport lets say. lol
If you want a spesific example i got one for you. If you are a national athlete and you have a Tournament at an another country state will give you that passport to travel.
Without leg. 😁 I laughed there while watching. But it is correct. An interesting surname. I agree.
Hey Chelsea, BTW, we want your videos with English subtitles.
We still need English subtitles while watching, listening your videos.
🔊
Lastly, your cats are legend 😁
Ya ben yurtdışına taşındım. Ama gelip burada Türkiye ile ilgili şeyler izliyorum.

Chibo's coffee is wonderfull!
Thank you Chelsea for bringing the topic on surname's .
Im in love with ur energy
The green Turkish passport is visa exempt in all European countries except the UK and Ireland. However, the UK and Ireland also require visas from green Turkish passport holders.
Such an interesting video!
Thanks 🙏
Canada did that with the cigarette packages 15 years ago and raised the price of cigs x5
the cigarette packets in the UK are exactly the same ones as in Turkey now. it changed here in may 2016.
great vlog, please keep safe,

Do you work in Turkey? I've watched some of your videos and they're great but didn't see mention of that and was curious.
Yes, everyone picked their last names 😂 idn why some people picked very "different" last names 😂
Idk*
Yeah, everybody was able to choose a last name, but there were some rules, obviously. Like, an interesting one is that all last names being registered with a local government had to be unique. Some surnames are super frequent, but they have to be different at least at family registration level (which is also used for exended identification)
My gran's father ended up with a very weird last name because the ones they applied for were already taken, so the registry worker proposed two, and he chose the less weird one.
What was yours? 50 years ago my familys last name was Enginar but lucky my father changed it lol
@@p4saqqq It's too unique and part of my family still has it, so I can't share it for privacy sake, sorry :) I can say it's not even something in the dictionary so it's a mystery how in the world it was on the list.
@@deniz_dee lmao i totally get it, i will die in wonder 😫
chelsea you're right. There is some black rose in Turkey.
Omg ur cats are TOOO CUTE
Bacaksız means: He is kinda short
Legless also means ''Super drunk'' in British slang too
@@subutaynoyan5372 whats the logic behind that? Thats why they fall often?
@@Es-bz4im When you're excessively drunk, your legs fail to work
For a couple of years, yes they were allowed to choose their surname. Aziz Nesin choose Nesin as his last name which means 'who are you?'
I thank my ancestors every day for choosing my last name as Yıldırım(Lightning).
That was my mother’s last name before she married :)
@@skyluvsyou Wow that's cool
This video was interesting 💜
I loved your white cup! Where did you get it? :)
Migros for 10tl!
@@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR oh that's great!! Thanks Chelsea:)
The vaccine scar on the left biceps is the tuberculosis vaccine. The one on the forearm that hasn't been using since 1980 is the smallpox vaccine. Turkey is still has a great amount of tuberculosis case, so we still vaccinate people for it.
I had a lot of vaccine shots when I was a kid since it's a mandatory thing here in the Philippines but I don't have any vaccine scars at all. There were people who got it though. Btw I find those black roses interesting too 😍
And we've got the same cigarette packaging here lol. Love your videos! ❤
your cats are lovely xx
here in the philippines we also have a scar vaccine
I am from Bulgaria and we have that vaccine as well and am much as I am aware it is BCG vaccine against Tuberculosis!
Kedilerine oğlum demen ve onlarla türkçe konuşman çok komik ve tatlı 😂😍❤
I think some people picked their nicknames as their last names, this is also why people have weird last names now like bacaksız, kıllı, ayı, şişko, etc.
My wife had the maiden name Yorgun which means tired or sleepy.
Hi Chelsea ! I can understand their speech even though ı know English very well.you say the words very clearly.ı dont know what is your job if you open an online language course, ı will be one of the first signers.😊
I remember a girl when I was child. Her last name was "babaoğlan" which means "father son" it could be the weirdest last name I've ever witnessed
Babaoğlan 'father boy' diye çevrilmeli
My boyfriend is from Nigeria and also has a vaccine scar (I also think from smallpox vaccine). I remember being intrigued about it as well when we started dating.
We also have that scar in Brazil. Here we call it BCG vaccine, it prevents us from severe forms of tuberculosis. It used to be applied in two doses, the first when you were born and the second one when you turned 6 years old. From 2006 on the government cancelled the second dose. Having two scars is a sign you are old!
I saw black roses live in the gardens around old town Halfeti. The locals told us that if we take the seeds and plant somewhere else, they wouldn't grow black, or if we take them away in pots as grown in the original soil, they'd lose black color. Briefly, black rose is endemic only in Halfeti region.
And there's no sea nearby Halfeti but Euphrates river flows along.
My name and surname's direct translations are Blood of East - Great Rock. 😀
kanın bir diğer anlamı soydur
free rock :)
I’m from Iran, we also have vaccines scars:)
Ya ne kadar tatlısınnnn. Özellikle Türkçe konuşurken🥰
In India🇮🇳, we also have vaccine scars. And the concept of Surname is similar to India as most of us have surnames according to the occupation of our ancestors during ancient times. 😅
Do it moreeee
Best wishes from istanbul.
You speak just amazing Turkish. How come more Turkish-spoken videos not coming?
