Baba tarafindan Gurcu'yum. Her ne kadar Babam, Kasimpasa'da dogup buyumus olsada,Gurcu'ceyi anliyordu zira rahmetli babaannem evde Gurcuce konusurdu. Ben de haliyle,uc-bes kelime ogrenmistim kucukken,bunlardan bazilari ;
Ucumala ( Sus,soyleme)
Lamazi gogo ( guzel kiz)
Nacari (Para)
Mememsia ( Aciktim)    vs.

Babamin anlattigina gore ;Turkiye'de yasayan Gurcu'lerin bircogu -93 Harbi gocmeni diye adlandiriliyordu ; 1893'te Rus istilasindan kacan Gurculer, Osmanli'ya siginmisti .Bircogu Acara'liydi, yani cogunlugunu musluman Gurculerin olusturdugu Batum tarafi.

Hal boyleyken,baba tarafinin akrabalari vs nin dugununde sunnetinde  -Cilveloy parcasi mars gibi soylenir ve birkac genc, Gurcu halk oyunlarindan bir demet gosteri ( ucarcasina) sunardi.

Fuat Saka yorumu ile  " Cilveloy" ve Gurcu Halk Oyunlari Toplugunundan enfes bir dans gosterisi.

I am partly Georgian ( paternal). However my dad was born and raised in Kasimpasa (District of Istanbul) he was understanding Georgian as well because my grandma' was speaking Georgian at home. Of course,i also learnt some words as :
Ucumala ( don't say,talk)
Lamazi gogo ( Beautiful girl)
Nacari ( Money)
Mememsia ( i am hungry)

According to my dad's saying, Most of the Georgians in Turkey ,called " migrants of 93s war) ; Georgian were running away from Russian incursion ,took refuge in Ottoman empire. Most of them were from Ajara which is highly Muslim populated area in Batumi.

Nevertheless , Everytime i was in a wedding or a circumcision feast of some paternal relatives ,all singing Cilveloy like an Anthem while dancing.Then some young males  performs  couple of  Georgian Folk dances (like flying).

Here is the song called Cilveloy by Fuat Saka  and a beautiful perform by Georgian National Ballet
