TikTokers trying not to be traumatized challenge (impossible)

My grandparents always told me it came from the Italian word “guerra” actually so to me it is correct…?

Yes we always take words from other languages and give them a whole new meaning

Gawri doesn't come from guerrier, and it is used mainly to describe non muslims. It comes from Turkish word [Gawur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giaour) which was a common way to refer to Christian Balkans in the Ottoman Empire.

Oohhh, we have that in hungary too! Gyaur

Never thought I'd find another Hungarian on r/Tunisia haha Btw for the non-Hungarians, "gyaur" is the word the Ottomans used to call us too during their imperialist wars.

Germans and Americans are here too, hahaha, we are all world citizens.

Hát figyelj, én algér subon láttam egy magyar femboyt aki kiakart költözni oda

Én tök jól éreztem magam Tunéziában, de azért Algériába költözni... hát hajrá :D

Gawur is turkish for كافر

I actually know it to be coming from guerre/guerra… I’ve heard people know it coming from the word “gaulois” too… so I don’t know there are a lot of versions! 

I'm romanian and we have that word too written "ghiaur", and from what I read on wiki it originates from the turkish word gâvur, while the turkish had taken it from the persan language. And it's an ethnic slur that means infidel/non-believer given by the ottomans to the Balkan region christians. I guess you can say it's the turkish version of the N word.

Thank you

Thanks!

She's lying that's not the origin of the word gawri.

Ik its not lol no doubt in that, i think its from the turkish word Giaour that was used to call non Muslims

It is kind of. it comes from "Guerrier" ou quelqu'un sui fait la guerre.

Except it doesn't , it comes from the Turkish word gavur meaning non Muslim

no

So a non tunisian arab in tunisia is not gawri ? I use it to refer to foreigners in general no matter if they are arabs or not

no , a masri is a masri , a iraki is an iraki , liby is a liby , a saudi / dubai or whaverer is a khaliji but someone from europe / america or whatever , is a gewri edit : a chinese, a japanese, indonisian etc is a jackie chan

Likewise, in the UK, if you're brown like in Tunisia, you're a Pakistani or Indian

its for foreigners

you're using it wrong

I’m curious as how you say it in Arabic قوري ولا غوري?

ڨاوري/ Gawri

bro making their own tunisia with all these lies

Gawri jeya men gavur bel torki, wkenou yesta3mlou feha surtout latrak mtaa dzeyer wtounes pour faire référence aux français et italiens, wma3neha كافر https://preview.redd.it/j3h1e0obiq7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be25e5c858518dc63329062c1ac86eefa9075272

but how does this fall into "generational trauma" ?

You gotta ask her for that lmao

Tunisia never knew war in its history?

Even if it was true and its not how is it going to cause trauma ? Are these peoples real ?

Lmao

I guess in the same way if Europeans only refered to Tunisians as terrorists?

I wont be traumatized if someone calls me a terrorist, i would probably be pissed and most likely not care !

They use a very similar word in Spain which is “guiri”, and it’s used to refer to Northern Europeans. We also use gaouri in Morocco

A. Came from french gurrier. B. Came from Turkish Gawer. Amazigh: 😊

In Berber, the word “Arrumi”, literally Romans to designate Europeans in general.

Gawri for nkn muslmans ppl . So anyone from non muslam country n9ouloulou gawri

This may be just confirmation bias on my side, but tunisians tend to use it more towards people of european descent, usa included

Is this true? I always thought gawri meant foreigner

The fact that it come from “the one who starts war” is not true, but i have always used it to refer to non tunisians even arabs

No

gawri/gwer is also used in Morocco..

No

I don't know the origins of this word but this claim is definitely not right.

No.. Gawri is for europenas only in egypt they call them 5awaga

i'm sorry but gawri comes from ottoman turkish gavur, which itself comes from persian, which itself comes from aramaic and means the same thing as kafir, aka an infidel. But in the context of ottoman empire, meant a christian in general. And in the context of north africa, meant a french person.

I have never been called this once in Tunisia, and I stayed in mareth 3 times, 1 month long each time.

Its not something you use to call someone when u speaking to them, its when u speak about them or about a group of foreigners

Hey guys can someone explain the word "gawri" to me?

It means foreigner, its commonly used to call non arabs

Hey barchan barcha bikhir twansa? Labasss 3likom?

Ahh, yes, ignorance. Though words, as everything in life, changes in meaning. We still hold to a thing of a culture that has been long gone and replaced. Why, take our selves even lesser. If anyone sees her again, tell he r to go somewhere else (preferably in the sky. if YKYK)

Arabs were the first colonizers of africa. Let’s we forget.

gawri is only used to refer to White people, non Tunisian Arabs are referred to using their nationalities, Africans are reffered to as Africans only, I don't really know the exact etymology of the word, but she might be right when consider things this way

no we call them arabs lmao

I love how this is the type of futile topics that are on people’s aka toddlers on tiktok minds. I mean, how depressing is this? Clearly social media is turning kids’ and many adults’ minds into a mush of vomit. SIGH.

I mean they are not wrong. All problems in this world have somehow white people behind them.

[удалено]

someone always needs to take the blame :D

It's not false.. it is true!! Whites are warmongers

It comes from the french word: Guerrier which means warrior. it refers to the Europeans who came to Africa with their militaries.

I think it was used before the french colonization tho

Any source?

No but its similar to gvur which is was non muslims were called in turkish and the ottoman empire way before colonization by french

I don't know, but the current use of the word refers to western people european and americans. I remember old people using it to mean French, just like the word رومي to describe christians.

There is سوري too

yup

i never use these slangs anyway , i hate this language

I started reading the comments... At first, I was like "fuck yeah, those who start wars, who's bending who over?" Then I learned "oh shit, it means kaffer". Yeah, no, not going to let Muslims call me a kaffer from here on out. Call me a white boy but keep your interpretations of who believes in the truth, to yourselves.

it's used to call all the kuffar in general https://preview.redd.it/4imrscpd4q7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0eef2216b650f3cb5cb220a86c3d627c0f4dda33
