Title: Ramzan has started.....
Post by: Menthol on July 08, 2013, 16:29:35 PM: .....across the Islamic world. Many Muslims will be keeping Roza (fasting) and many won't be :)

Having kept Roza many times, I just want you all to know how tough it can be during summer months. The days are longer and of course it's hotter!

Wish I was in Fethiye for Eid!

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on July 08, 2013, 20:09:52 PM: I used to think it was Ramadan until the guy doing our garden corrected me and told me I was staying it wrongly and then asked me to repeat after him "Ramazan". I was duly congratulated and promised to say in correctly in future.

Post by: loz on July 09, 2013, 01:10:19 AM: How it is said depends on who you speak to, all our neighbours are Turkish, and depending on age and the region the person comes from the answer if different. Ramadam, Ramazan, take your pick all leads to the same event in the the end.

In English it's called Ramadan but in Turkish it's called Ramazan.
