Taylan (GNU+Feminism Cat) · 6d WTF I just realised that "eyvah" (which we say in Turkish to mean "oh no") is basically just "oy vey" in Arabic. Like, I think it's probably the same roots?? Just like "oh wei" in German, probably. The Dread Slender Gnome @The Dread Slender Gnome 1772576584 "Oy vey" is Hebrew, right, not Yiddish?Both that and Arabic are Semitic, so no matter what a bot says, it's not an unreasonable conclusion to come to. (No idea what linguists say.) 1
