The Lost Word
This holiday, I firmly believed that our language lost a word. It is not a word like that, it has no place in the life that is lived like "tandır", "oat"; elegant, subtle, civilized word.
I looked for him among the mustaches of the garbage man who knocked on the door. No!.. I waited for him from the gaping lips of the watchman who took his tip. No!.. I wanted to hear from the apprentice of the grocer, the assistant of the vegetable seller, the son of the butcher. No!.. The boy who took his silk handkerchief, the girl who folded his scarf, the greengrocer who put two halflings in his pocket, whoever knocked on our door for three days and took his gift left without giving me the word I was waiting for! You give two hundred and fifty cents to the driver of the taxi that says two hundred cents. Silence like a stone! You meet the young man whose book you speak of fondly. A senseless salute, like an insult!
You give your seat to a woman standing on the tram. A look at your face from above with nostrils! And none of them have that fine, kind, beautiful word that makes you human! Last year, the driver of a car I was driving in Athens told me this word for a ten-cent tip: both by removing the cap from his head and adding a "many" to the beginning of the word.
In Rome's largest hotel, the chambermaid girl had gracefully smashed her graceful body in exchange for another small gift, adorning the word with a smile on her lips.
Do not miss a word. It is even possible to attribute many complaints in our social life to the absence of this word. I'm thinking: How can we resurrect this dead word that is shrouded in white paper in dictionary books? I wonder if the municipality can make a price list for this word? At least in the market, in the market, in business life, we look at the list whenever we want, pay for it and hear this three-syllable word that we miss! Haa! Excuse me, I didn't tell you what this word I've been longing for, right?
Thanks!
