on my way back home, I lost my balance and slided on the icey pathway. I said "fuck" silently to myself. There was no one beside me to communicate in English, but I didnt say sss... that I would do if I were in Turkey, but used f word.
I wondered why, fuck and sktr is almost perfect translations of each other. and in duration the two are similar in duration as well, when you pronounce it, the sound of the words last 2 seconds at most. so, if what one prefers is a short and sudden sound they both fits to this need. and if one would like to put her anger, fear, fury, they both feed this need as well.
When I am too angry, to annoyed by something, sometimes a mouthful of swear works perfectly to unwind, to evacuate. the more angry I am, the more I need to swear. But I am not very good at finding enough nasty words to totally relax. So I try to find out some words long enough to keep my mouth as busy as possible, and if they have the strong consonants better. most common and obvious swears have those consonants (p,ç,t,k) and the more you press these the more aggressive you sound. For example, "züccaciye" (glasware) has a very strong sound, and it is also very out-of-date word that not everyone is familiar with.
then I was thinking of using a dummy text, if the only thing that matters is the duration the tonation. and the meaning deriving from the feeling should be filled with an embodied memory.
I dont know how its going to work, but the initial idea is this: to give plot to people, for example: you are walking on a icy pathway and suddenly you slide, you were about the fall, but you didnt, what would be the first sound that would come through your mouth?
than I will ask them to produce this sound with the text below. or I will try to make the sound myself with the dummy text.
well, if it is just an "ouch" no need for dummy text, isnt it?
hmm.
Lorem ipsum...
I checked that infamous dummy text online: Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC
"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?"

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC
"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat."
1914 translation by H. Rackham
"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

I will memorize it.
as we used to memorise arabic prays.
because it is good to know them.
You should recite 3 kulhu 1 elham for the soul of the passed away.
and ayetel kürsi when you have karabasan, or nightmare, or when you are afraid.
what would a dummy text save you from.
cranium fibula radius sacrum patella corpus: nasıl ezberlenir allahım, arabca dua eden insanın latince kemikleri
sometimes those words that I havent grown up with feels like dummy texts. empty, superficial, trivial. that is probably why I am putting words with similar meanings side by side, I am illiterate to their cultural-social history, burden.
I put words side by side, with different order and hope they will mean what I would like to express.
