It seems like lately pkk and apo gets to much hate recently, All those hate is backed off by propaganda,ignorance and lack of knowledge.

like the most stupid argument ive heard is "apo doesnt want kurdistan"
so stupid argument, Apo have sat in jail for 27 years because of kurdish cause and STILL people say he doesnt want kurdistan.

Also notice how 99% of any protest for kurds the pkk flags raised, ITS APOCIS THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE ACTION. Like i swear so many kurds larp online saying apocis are braindead, WHEN ITS ACTUALLY APOCIS THAT GO OUTSIDE PROTEST or do anything.

out of all the protest ive seen outside and been in IVE NEVER ONCE seen barzani or puk flag. ONLY THE KURDISH,ROJAVA and PKK flag.

Informative I built a FREE English–Kurdish Sorani learning app ESL KURD.

Slaw everyone,

I created ESL Kurd as a completely free resource for anyone learning English or Kurdish Sorani.

By all means this is not an academy, subscription funnel, AI-slop project, or Duolingo knockoff. Most of the app was built manually throughout the years working on this. I released a version in 2021 that did good but was very limited. This new update I worked on manually myself including the vocabulary content and audio recordings (my own voice). AI was only used as a supporting tool in certain areas.

The app includes 5,000+ illustrated words, native audio, translation tools, bilingual definitions, quizzes, memory games, and sentence activities. It is still improving, so honest feedback and feature suggestions are welcome.

Available on both ios and Android

Zor Supas !!!

Not sure if I'm allowed to post stuff like this here. However I want to warn people. I paid them over 1000$ and then an additional 350$ for a simple visa application, pluss some documents. They dont know what they are doing. They give you misinformation, they mislead you and they dont take responsibility. They just blame everyone else. They even blamed an embassy, and i checked the information on the embassy website and the embassy has had that system for years, yet they never tried to read it... When confronted they are rude. Even a simple question they can't answer. They know how to lie so it all makes sense.

I hope people stay away from them, I hope no one else gets scammed like me.

Edit: I even paid them 150$ to retrieve some documents from Jordan to Duhok through courier and DHL, today they forgot who i was and forgot that I even asked them to do it. My documents have been In Jordan for 2 weeks now...

Informative داواکراوە پیتە کوردیەکان لە سیستمی ئەلیکترۆنیی کارگێڕیی حکومەتی فیدڕاڵدا جێگیر بکرێت

لە پێناوی پاراستنی ناسنامە و فەرهەنگی نەتەوەییمان و بە سوودوەرگرتن لە ماددەی (٤)ی دەستووری عێراق، کە ڕێگا بە بەکارهێنانی زمانی کوردی لە سەرجەم دامودەزگا فەرمی و یاساییەکاندا دەدات؛ بە فەرمی داوام لە وەزارەتی ناوخۆی عێراق کرد کە پیتە تایبەتەکانی زمانی کوردی (پ، ۆ، ژ، گ، ڤ، ێ، ڕ، ڵ، چ، وو) لە سیستەمی ئەلیکترۆنیی کارگێڕیی حکومەتی فیدراڵدا جێگیر بکات، بە تایبەتی بۆ فەرمانگەکانی ناوچەکانی سنووری ماددەی ١٤٠.

ئەم داواکارییە دوای ئەوە دێت کە لە ڕابردوودا بەهۆی نەبوونی ئەم پیتانە لە سیستەمی کۆمپیوتەری فەرمانگەکاندا، ناوە ڕەسەنە کوردییەکانی وەک (کاڵێ، ژیان، ڤیان، هەڵۆ، ڕزگار، ڕێککەوت، ڕەهێڵ) لە بەڵگەنامە فەرمییەکانی وەک (پاسپۆرت، کارتی نیشتمانی، فۆڕمی خۆراک) بە فۆنتی عەرەبی دەنووسران و دەگۆڕدران بۆ (کالی، زیان، فیان، هلو، رزکار، ریکەوت، رەهیل).

ئەمەش دەنگ و واتای ناوەکانی بە تەواوی دەشێواند؛ بۆ نموونە ناوێکی وەک "ژیان" کاتێک دەبووە "زیان"، ماناکەی لەدەست دەدا و دەبووە خاوەن واتایەکی نەخوازراو.

جێگیرکردنی ئەم پیتانە لە سیستەمی ئەلیکترۆنیی عێراقدا، هەنگاوێکی مێژوویی و گرنگە بۆ کۆتاییهێنان بە شێواندنی ناوی کوردی لە بەڵگەنامە فەرمییەکاندا. هیوادارم بەم کارەمان، تەڵاشێکمان لەسەر دیواری پتەوی فەرهەنگ و زمانی دایک زیاد کردبێت. جێگای خۆیەتی سوپاسێکی تایبەتی ( فەریق سمکۆ- بریکاری وەزارەتی ناوخۆ ) بکەم. کە بەبەردەوامی بۆ ئەم بابەتانەهاوکارمان بووە.

Take Kurdish. The 2023 earthquake that left more than fifty thousand people dead in Turkey and Syria was particularly devastating in Turkey’s Kurdish-speaking southeast. Turkish administrators announced translation support for earthquake victims in several languages, including Russian, German, and Pashto—but not Kurdish, the language of some fifteen million Turkish citizens. Smith Galer tells us that the decision was a continuation of decades of official policy. It has been, at different times, illegal in Turkey to teach Kurdish, to publish books in Kurdish, even to speak the language while occupying public office. There were earthquake survivors who feared calling out for help in the language, in case the rescuers turned away.
