Akşam olsa, yatak!

"Akşam olsa, yatak!" Such were the words that Marash Boy often heard mid-afternoon from his Medzmama who was born in Marash, Ottoman Empire!!!!

  2. True script is "akşam olsa, yat(s)ak". It nearly means "if the evening comes asap, we can go to sleep".

  4. The way it's written above, is the way Marash Girl heard it spoken by the old folks as she was growing up.
