Talk:Edirne

i have tried to edit the article, but some idiot has changed it back, so i will not start an editing war, but I will leave my comments here, and if anyone here cares about accurate information, they will make sure it is incorporated.

1) The Turkish word for mosque is spelled "Camii" with two "I"s, not one.

2) Üç Şerefeli means "three balconies" which refers to one of the mosque's minarets which indeed has three balconies. THE MOSQUE HAS FOUR MINARETS. I saw them yesterday. http://www.archnet.org/library/sites/one-site.jsp?site_id=2910

People, lets not be so block-headed.

As you could see yourself with a quick glance at the History, your edits are still there -- you're just seeing an old copy of the page for some reason, probably a badly configured proxy on your side. (WT-en) Jpatokal 09:21, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

144.122.125.114 07:18, 16 January 2013 (UTC) nope in turkish mosque is not translated as "camii" on the contrary it is directly coming from arabic and a wrong usage. The actual usage of the word is "camisi". Although none of them means "mosque" by itself rather they mean "mosque of x". So you are wrong my friend.

I don't want to delve into this weird part of the Turkish grammar, but just for the future reference; the actual Turkish word (of Arabic origin) for a mosque is cami, according to the Turkish Language Association (TDK), while accusative case for it is camii or camisi (the latter being the less usual style in the written form). So if you want to construct a proper noun phrase (isim tamlaması), it's camii or camisi (as in Selimiye Camii), and if you want to use it with an attributive adjective in a noun phrase (sıfat tamlaması), it's only cami (as in Eski Cami, "old mosque" or Üç Şerefeli Cami, "three balconied mosque").

Hopes for this article

This is a place with a spectacular history, and there are great photos in the article. I'd love to see this be improved to Guide level and eventually featured on the front page. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

This is a city that I really love to spend time in, and that's not only because it's the hometown of my maternal ancestors. Your wish and copyedits are the most welcome, thank you. Vidimian (talk) 13:59, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

To add

Some important sights currently absent from the article:

• Religious: Bulgarian churches, sacred sites of the Bahais in the city, as well as numerous smaller Ottoman mosques scattered around the old town that deserve a mention
• Other: The hunting lodge of Mehmet IV in Sarayiçi, and maybe some of the important historic houses (like that of İbrahim Koman).
