Vissinea, Visheni

[osiris]

you failed rtg.

sorry buddy you mustnt be a real macedonian.

svoliania is.

[Risto the Great]

You want me to understand "purdi". I would have written it as "p'rdi".
Write it in Cyrillic Macedonian to avoid confusion.

Kutsa instead of Kutseno .... are you doing this on purpose? I mean really.

[Svoliani]

Thats interesting, only 3 were familliar to you.
Just so you think i wasnt making things up

I PETELO YAYTSA MU NESI. (Even his rooster lays eggs.) He is lucky.)
(We call the rooster Petno or Petino)

NE KUTSA MAGARETO OT USHITE. (The donkey does not limp because of his ears.) When you fail to see the real cause.
(We say Kutseno for limping, i believe from Kots = heel)

EM FTESEN EM BESEN. (He is guilty but goes berserk.) When you don't admit your quilt.
(Ftes means more like 'fault')

TIA GO KURSTAT TOY PURDI. (He farts while being baptized.) When you reject the advice of elders.
(Where im from we call farts ' poordes ')

OT TIA SHO BIE NA KAMBANATA. (From those who hit the church bell.) When someone is arrogant and stubborn.
(Kambana is bell in Greek)

PSOVISANO MAGARE OT VULK NE SE PLASHI. (A dead donkey is not afraid of the wolf.) When you are experienced and can handle any situation.
(Psofises means to die in Greek)

NI LUK YAL NI LUK MIRISA. (He neither has eaten garlic nor smells of it.) When you try to hide your quilt.
( Mirisa = smell , Mirizo = i smell)

I found all this interesting because the author claims that an elder told him that the roots of the village come from Epirus.

I know many Vishentsi from Adelaide.
If I could pick my favourite village (excluding family ties) it would be Visheni ... what an awesome landscape as you head down to Visheni then down to Kostur. The tobacco drying, the greenery ... awesome.

You might know a very well known author whose relatives come from there ... his name is Michael Radin (look him up). I know many staunch Macedonian activists from Visheni. Others from Visheni proclaim themselves as Greek but their children only know how to speak Macedonian ... go figure.

Petel rooster
Tesen tight
Mirisa smell

I know, but no idea of the others. Are you making up languages?

The Kostur dialects are very close to Lerinsko ... but there are some departures ... I think they say "fork" (noticeably) differently. And some of their sayings are a little odd to us ... like Aussies saying "wanna root a Donkey" ... root means something a little different to us.

I believe the saying that comes to mind is "Wanna hop on my bike" translated in Kostursko as "Wanna jump on my cock".
