Turkish term

Zeytinyağlı

Turkish to English Other Food & Drink Cuisine
Bu genel bir yemek grubu adı. Maalesef doğru dürüst bir karşılık bulamadım. Acaba batı kültürlerinde benzeri var mıdır tercümelerde kullanabileceğim?
This is a group of dishes cooked with Olive Oil or Liquid Oil in Turkish cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot find corresponding term for this type of dishes. Is there any similar group / generic name for food cooked with olive oil / liquid oil?

ATB Translation (asker) Jun 21, 2008:
Nağme Yazgın Aslında gözlerimi açtınız bu kadar belirgin bir şeyi görmemek utanç verici. Ancak burada bir ikilemde kaldım.

1) Zeytinyağlı terimi kullanılmasına rağmen, kişisel deneyimimde zeytinyağlılar aslında başka sıvı yağlarla pişiriliyor. Dolayısıyla orijinali her ne kadar tercüme tekniği açısından daha doğru olsada bazı tereddütlerim var.
2) Aslında Çağdaş Karataş arkadaşımızın tercümesi en azından literal anlamda en doğru olanı. Ancak onun da söz dizimi biraz tuhaf. Ancak biraz daha bekleyip, sonra seçeceğim.

zeytinyagli

I don't see why you must "translate" a traditional dish.

I would use it as it is, and then would may be explain in parenthesis as Cagdas did.

This is purely my opinion though...

Tesekkurler.
agree Özden Arıkan : bence de en iyi yaklaşım bu. sıvı yağla pişirilen, içine et koyulmayan, soğuk yenen ve ana yemek olmayan sebze yemekleri olduğu ilaveten açıklanabilir, ama çevirince, "zeytinyağıyla hazırlanan her türlü yiyecek" gibi anlaşılma riski var

antipasta

This one is hard to translate since Turkish cuisine is unique to its dishes. For foreigners, term "antipasta" is being widely used and they are more familiar with this Italian term that could be subsititued for "zeytinyagli".
Best wishes on your translation.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nagme Yazgin : No. Not all `antipasta` are zeytinyagli. Antipasti (plural: Antipasta) is "meze".

meatless dishes cooked in olive oil

Girit kökenli olduğumuz için hassasım herhalde bu konuda. Bence olive oil dishes veya dishes cooked in/with olive oil bu ifadeyi karşılamaz hatta yanılgıya sebep olur. Zira et içermemeleri ayırt edici özellikleri.

Keşke Yunancasını arıyor olsaydınız: Ladera imiş, ne mutlu bana ki bunu da öğrenmiş oldum.

"This is a traditional, greek family dish. It is very easy to prepare once you remember to soak the beans overnight. The particular kind of beans is essential to the recipe. They are also called Elephant Beans. You can cook this dish a couple of days in advance. It actually improves after one or two days, like all Ladera, meaning ***meatless dishes cooked in olive oil***."

Başka bir kaynakta da meatless olive oil dishes diye kullanılmış ama bunu da söz dizimi açısından beğenmedim.

TURKISH CUISINE
For this reason food is cooked for the day only. Food is never thrown out; even stale bread is oven-dried for use as rusk. At the ***meatless olive oil dishes***, ...

Sometimes meat can be added to a vegetable dish but vegetable dishes cooked with olive oil zeytinyaglilar are almost always conceived to be strictly vegetarian.

The zeytinyagli dishes are made from the seasonal vegetable and are delicious eaten as a main dish with plenty of wonderful Turkish bread.
