Iste Bunu Seviyorum!

A few days back. I buy some junk at McDonalds. The pack
has their punchline printed in many world languages, several of them East Asian ( little more than clusters of slashes to my ill-informed eyes). Among the lot, the following line catches the eye: "Iste bunu seviyorum". The initial reaction is "Latin! but why??". Then one reasons: "Maybe during the 'interregnum' in Vatican a whiff of the supposedly dead classical language is in the air".

A little later, one remembers: Hey, 'y' as in 'seviyorum' is not there in Latin. Then, what could it be,... Romanian?

Having quickly run out of guesses, I turn to the all-knowing Google and it reveals it is (most probably).... Turkish! One could have smelt Turkish if the words had some 'glu' endings or some c's with little slashes hovering above; but certainly not when everything about the inscription has such a strong latin flavor - although perhaps not enough of a flavor to impress Benedict XVI (who appears to be against treating Turkey as culturally part of Europe).

Anyways, I'm Lovin It!

Note: While on Turkish, it has at least some words with a Dravidian feel. I'm told, 'Kara' means 'black' in Turkish, just like in Tamil and Malayalam; moreover to make nouns plural Turkish gives them an 'ar' ending - again very Dravidian!
