Help with a Kurdish student
Hello, I live in the uk, I’m a teacher. I have a student that can’t speak English, only Kurdish. Been trying to help him.
At the moment we have learning about the English civil war, (I’m a History teacher) I had this work sheet to see if he knows of any of these concepts in his own language, to see if he went to school in Kurdistan. I have tried to translate this on ChatGPT and Google but can’t get a reliable translation. Would anyone be able to translate what me student wrote or even wheather my worksheet made sense?
Would really appreciate it, we don’t have any Kurdish speakers at the school.
Where to read chronologically about Kurdish history
I was taught nothing relevant by my Kurdish family growing up as a dispora aside from us just being Kurdish (my dad likes erdogan and saddam so obviously I didn’t learn shit 💀😭) I encounter a lot of misinformation online and like I know it’s wrong but it’s like, ok where would I know it’s wrong considering I’ve not read much yknow?? Like there’s so much to read it’s kinda **overwhelming cuz where do I begin bro 🥀🥀🥀**thanks !!!!

Results as a Kurd from eastern Malatya
Tribe: Canbeg
Welp.. I wonder why a Kurd from my tribe would score such high central Anatolian result (spoiler alert: my tribe got exiled here n there to central Anatolia so I assume AncestryDNA clustered up alot of Kurdish and Turkish references into this reference panel.)
I’m really dissapointed they couldn’t add Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern Kurdish regions as we got many Kurdish references in modern age DNA database.
Not like it matters for me as I experiment with my DNA file so I already know what the best results are for me but imagine someone who doesn’t want to do analyzing their DNA file through different calculators, or someone who doesn’t have a clue how to interpret these results and think they might be Turkish instead…
It’s really confusing for Kurds and also for Turks and other groups who get hidden in these broad regions. So ancestryDNA could you actually add proper regions for these multi ethnic countries and not just add 1-2 and just leave (FYI; They added pontic Greek regional group, Assyrian, AND EVEN EASTERN ANATOLIAN ARMENIANS?!? So it deffo isn’t because “it’s similar dna component makes it harddd” if they could add all this…)
I think they’re just scared to add specific Kurdish region(s) due to a certain group(s) of people.. Like it’s so obvious cuz cmon.. NORTHERN IRAQ? And it shows the KRG region. Really dissapointed in this company that they catered to those people due to being scared of receiving hate.
People see me as a girl and i have feelings for girls and i don't see myself as a girl
I'm a kurdish person who has gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder the society might sees me as a tomboy maybe but i see myself as a dude but kinda get lost between what society sees me and what i see myself and that's really been hard on me
And i also have feelings for girls but i don't see that it's a lesbian thing cause i see myself as a guy so it makes me a straight person, Kurdish society doesn't really support LGBTQ or have that knowledge about them but i also don't count myself as a part of LGBTQ community
I just find it really hard to force myself to make me belong to somewhere i don't fit in, i did also mention that i have feelings towards girls which is way harder cause i also distance myself from everyone cause i feel lost i really need help idk what to do anymore with everything
Finally found some decent tech shops in Kurdistan, thought I'd share my list
I have been looking for a good electronics store in kurdistan, especially for Arduino stuff. Finally put together a list and thought I'd share it here!
1. Sangar Tech
this is my top one because of their wide veriety, their website ACTUALLY works and looks nice, they're friendly and helpful, and they have an option to pay with card or crypto, the crypto is a huge win for me since i value my privacy alot.
2. Uruk Tech
Another option worth checking out for tech products and comparing prices. it's just that their website is.. meh, yk what i mean
this one is alright, their site is bad, not updated regularly. for example a couple of times i ordered stuff from their site, they called and said the products arent in stock. but if you're planning to go to their store in-person, it's a good one.
Cheapest Prices (1 being cheapest):
1- Sangar Tech
3- Uruk Tech (holy crap their stuff is expensive)
If anyone has more recommendations please list them in the comments.

Thoughts on Ava tv?
I keep seeing Ava Media content everywhere lately and I honestly don't get the appeal It's neither entertaining nor informative plus don't even get me started on all the low quality AI slop they keep pushing out.
What are your thoughts on it?
"Not Western Enough? Blame the Kurds"Double Standards in Turkish Nationalism
Literally every single time a foreigner on social media calls Turkey out for something conservative, backwards, or not "Western enough' or anything negative Turkish internet users immediately throw Kurds in Bakur under the blame. Like bro it’s actually insane how we’ve become their personal garbage dump for every embarrassing thing in their society. The second a European complains about something , they spin around and scream "that's not us, thats the uneducated Kurds"as if western Turkey isn't currently drowning in its own nationalist brainrot.
And the absolute hypocrisy is mind blowing. They will literally worship ataturk like a god, defend every single state crime his government committed, and then turn around to label every single Kurd in Bakur as a "terrorist" Like HOW do you sit there worshipping your own state sponsored terror while crying about ours?liiike there's not much difference about what pkk has done and what ataturk has done The sheer cognitive dissonance and zero self awareness is hilarious at this point.You can't call anybody a terrorist when you're also worshiping one.
But honestly the funniest part is watching them begging for white Western validation. They jump on right wing anti immigrant trends thinking white nationalists will accept them as fEuropeans, only to get hit with reality when those same white people view them as just another Middle Eastern demographic. Watching them panic when foreign racists don't care about their "secularism" issoooo fuunnny. You can’t build an entire identity on dickriding the West while using us as your shield against judgment.
American Traveling to Kurdistan
Hi all!
I am an American male studying abroad in Europe and have been wanting to visit Kurdistan for a while now. I know this region is significantly more stable than Federal Iraq but was curious what you thought about this kind of trip as far as regional safety.
What city should be the capital of Great Kurdistan?
Cities were selected based on Kurdish population numbers and representation for all parts by at least one city.
