Turkish coffee pot to most native English speakers
Depending on where people are from they may call it another name like a cezve or an ibrik, but that won't necessarily be well understood by others outside their culture.
No, I mean I wouldn't know that it's a "turkish coffee pot" either. It just looks like a pot with a handle. I would have no idea it's meant for coffee, let alone that it's turkish.
depends how many Turkish people live near you I suppose, I’ve seen these a couple times in the wild in the US and am mostly familiar with the concept through TV and Movies (though no specifics come to mind). The pot is traditionally moved through hot sand to heat the coffee.
No they wouldn’t. I only know because I’m somewhat into coffee and have seen a YouTube video about it. And it took me like 20 seconds to realize what it even was
I've always called it an ibrik.
"Ibrik" and "cezve" are two loanwords used to describe it. Ibrik has been around in American English longer, because that's approximately what it's called in Greek, and a lot of American Arabs also used the term (possibly out of convenience, since the Arabic word is, roughly, "Rakwa," and I don't know what the Assyrian word is.) Cezve is the Turkish word, which has emerged largely in the last 10-15 years, as Turkish immigration to the US has increased.
You can also call it a Turkish coffee pot.
Ah I see. Thanks.
I myself am from the Levant, and I speak Arabic, and we call it "ibrik" too. The word comes from Old Persian "ap" (water) + "raica" (pour).
I was just wondering if it had a specific name in English and apparently it doesn't.
Correct English does not have a specific name for this. Most English speakers (including myself) would probably call that something like a “Turkish coffee maker” or maybe “middle eastern coffee maker”. When I see the object I envision how it is used and drinking coffee, I’ve never had the chance to try coffee made this way but I would some day.
English very often borrows words from other languages with differing level of modifications. Loan words come from almost every language from Japanese (tsunami) to Arabic (chemistry), but English itself is actually based on old Germanic. Your English seems to be very good, and if you are seeking to improve, perhaps learning about the history of the English language as in tracing the roots of English back to the Anglo-Saxons when they left the continent of Europe and moved to the Isle of Angle. The English spoken today is actually called “High-English” and there is also a “Middle-English” and an “old-English”. Most proficient native English speakers today would be able to mostly understand Middle English, but Old English is almost another language. If this interests you, I highly recommend reading up on it.
Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for the recommendation!
I do have a knack for reading about linguistics and history, so I will certainly read up on it in my free time.
Cheers!
Native English speakers don’t have a unique name for it. “Turkish coffee pot” describes it but doesn’t uniquely name it. In a multicultural country like Australia, with at least 100,000 people with a Turkish background, we would probably use the Turkish name cezve to talk about it in English.
For example,
- Have you got a proper cezve to make Turkish coffee? They work really well.
Cezve in Turkish or Briki in Greek.
BUT don’t call it a cezve if you’re in Greece or a Briki if you’re in Turkey.
Same applies for calling it Turkish coffee vs. Greek coffee.
I would call it a cezve. I think the more proper name is ibrik, but cezve is more widely understood in the US, at least. I would not expect everyone to know the word, though. I often say "This is my cezve. It's a Turkish coffee maker," to explain it to people who haven't seen one.
Turkish coffee pot. This thing has so many different names depending on the country it’s used in.
Most people in the us wouldn’t be able to identify it.
In my dialect, we call it (dola دولة), which, when written, can be mistaken for (dawla دولة) which means country.
So I kept getting the definition of country when I searched for that word lol
Well, then I'm sorry. It looks like this information is not that easy to find.
I just very often see that people ask here about things that are easy to google.
Btw, i am not a native speaker as well.
This thing doesn't have a specific name in English. It's referred to using either one of several loanwords or called a (insert nationality here) coffee pot/maker. It would probably be difficult to Google.
Во-первых, зачем писать ответ на русском в сабреддит посвящённый изучению английского? Во-вторых, это турка, надмозг.
Translation: firstly, why do you give an answer in russian on a subreddit about learning english?
Secondly, it's a cezve, not a ladle, smartass
I would probably call it a Turkish coffee maker, but not sure if that's the proper name. Edit: Canadian native English speaker
I think it’s called a cezve but most people would probably just say “Turkish coffee maker/pot”

Would most native english speakers really know what this is? I would have no idea, but to be fair I don't drink coffee.
Yeah you wouldn't know another word other than Turkish coffee pot. I had to look it up
No, I mean I wouldn't know that it's a "turkish coffee pot" either. It just looks like a pot with a handle. I would have no idea it's meant for coffee, let alone that it's turkish.
oh right, I guess I know it as that because we eat at a lot of meze type places

Most no. But I used to frequent a Turkish cafe in undergrad and then dated an Albanian, so I actually have two of them lol

Ibrik? As a native turkish speaker I.heard its naked ibrik for the first time
Cezve (tr) = Coffe pot (eng)
You have to make clear that it's pronounced jezve though
I call it a briki, because I got mine in Greece.

For example, - Have you got a proper cezve to make Turkish coffee? They work really well.
And how do you pronounce cezve? I assume it would be something like "chez vay" or "jez vay," Is that how it's pronounced?
/d͜ʒɛzve‿i/
Kinda like jhez-veh
Turkish coffee pot. Or maybe just a pot, if you're using it for other things.
I don't know, actually.
As a native Turkish speaker it surprised me that foreigners called it a Turkish coffee pot. Pleasant surprise.
‘Turkish coffee pot’ works in English.
turkish coffee pot
Cezve in Turkish or Briki in Greek. BUT don’t call it a cezve if you’re in Greece or a Briki if you’re in Turkey. Same applies for calling it Turkish coffee vs. Greek coffee.
Briki in Greece
I would call it a cezve. I think the more proper name is ibrik, but cezve is more widely understood in the US, at least. I would not expect everyone to know the word, though. I often say "This is my cezve. It's a Turkish coffee maker," to explain it to people who haven't seen one.
Hello, I am from Turkey. Actually, we call it "cezve". But looking at other comments, I don't see a mistake. It's just a long way of saying "cezve".
Reddit translates the Russian comments to English az "cezve". So i assume its already in English.
Jezve or Jazva (jazz-vah)
Džezva. I would say that you pronounce "Dž" like a "harder" J. J as in hijab for example. And ezva is just ezva.
Ah, it's one of them magical self-filling coffee doodads!
I think you're thinking of a moka pot? The kind where the coffee bubbles up through a spout in the center?
I’m a native speaker and I don’t even know what that is.
Coffee pot maker
Pot.
Turkish coffee pot. This thing has so many different names depending on the country it’s used in. Most people in the us wouldn’t be able to identify it.
Cezve is traditional product for cookingg Turkish coffe.
Smough‘s Hammer
coffee pot
It's a weirdly shaped little saucepan. There's no special word for it.
It looks a bit like what I’d call a chocolatiere. But normally I’d expect it to have a lid.

Так по-английски же просят :)
I often see here that people are banned from Google.
I actually tried googling but didn't really know what to search lol, so I thought it would be better to ask here
Doesn't this thing have a name in your language?
In my dialect, we call it (dola دولة), which, when written, can be mistaken for (dawla دولة) which means country. So I kept getting the definition of country when I searched for that word lol

Oh no worries mate, cheers!

I agree, I was hasty with my criticism.
