Zoti is god, or a word to use as a title such as 'Mr', 'Sir',or as in 'Lord' Byron.

As far as i know Kabul isn't a word or term used in Albania!

Kabul is a city in Afghanistan, Im guessing you are from there or in the region?
Therefore calling you Zoti Kabul would be the equivalent as some one calling you Mr Kabul, Sir Kabul or Lord Kabul!

[mikejarjar]

i thought it means like god bless or something.....


also i found this online ... maybe this may help my question... i dont know what it says but they say zoti kabul .. i found this in another albanin forum but they only speak albanian on there..


"ZOTI kabul jav baft atyre qe e agjeruan muajin e ramazanit."

[Alterran 2.0]

nono is not kabul like in afganistan

is smth like mike said. idk exactly. its in arabic

[Armik]

Zoti ta bëft kabullë ( and not kabul) dmth zoti ta falt, or somthing like that. people say that mostly after dinner.

[AlboUS]

Zoti kabul means may God accept your prayers or in this case the fasting.And you should say Amen same to You

[njoni1980]

thank you all for replying,, but im confused i got many different answers.... is saying "ameen" sufficient enough to say to the person?

"Zoti kabul" i think is used to say when somebody does something good for God or society and it probably means "may God grant your wishes"
A: "Zoti ta befte kabulle"
B: "Amin Jarabi, edhe ty!

[TheDon]

Isn't it "Allahu Kabul"?

i know Zot and Allah is the same but i never heard "Zoti kabul" before.

[nXs]

Lol I've never heard Allahu Kabull. Sa keq tingullon :p

[Epirjoti]

Zoti means Lord... not Allah. If Allah is the Arabic name of the Lord, let them call it so.

Zot means Lord and is used for people too:

Imzot - Milord (my lord)
Zoti Lani - Lord/Mr. Lani (as a title)

I don't know where you heard Zoti Kabull, but it most likely means Mr. Kabull.
If you heard it in a prayer in a mosque or something, it's part of e sentence meaning "the lord accepts"... for kabul means to accept... but they would most likely have said "allahu pranon"

[pilemadh]

You heae it alot in Macedonia. Its very common. Muslim Albanians use Zoti as well as Allah.

[ShqiptarMusliman]

Zoti Kabul means god except or god except your efforts, if you have ever been into a xhami or mosque (dont know if your muslim or christian) but after prayers are finished the people shake hands and say zoti kabul.

what does it mean ... and also how do you respond when someone says it to you?

thanks

[kapllani]

I am not a very religious person and as a little child when I heard my parents say that I asked them what does this mean? They said that "zoti ta baftë kabull" means in other albanian words "zoti ta shpërbleftë" = "God may reward you" (for fasting).

So most explanations given here were correct.

But the fact that there were also some divergent explanations proves that this word isn't used so much in albania or at least in many places, mostly as a religious term- and religion loses incessantly more of its significance

[Lezeti]

Isn't it "Allahu Kabul"?

i know Zot and Allah is the same but i never heard "Zoti kabul" before.

I never heard "Zoti kabull" either.
I heard "Zoti ta bëft kabull" & "Allaj kabull."

[Pulsedriver]

We use the word 'kabull'' too. But we use it only when we say about a person ,'' Nuk behet kabull ai jo'' or '' Ku behet kabull ai'' And those expressions are used only when the person we are talking about is a stubborn dude who is in the wrong path, and doesn't change.


First time i hear this word is used after praying as well.

[x0sillywabbitx0]

we use the phrase "zoti kabul" a lot. Especially after someone prays or breaks their fast during ramadan. its like god bless in a way..

[Ke Me Pa]

This thread made me think about Ramazan this year, and I got worried it would be during my honeymoon. Luckily, it's just a few days after we get back.

[pilemadh]

we use the phrase "zoti kabul" a lot. Especially after someone prays or breaks their fast during ramadan. its like god bless in a way..

It's not like God Bless lol. God Bless is God bless. It's a word(Not Albanian) that has a meaning that has been explained here over and over. Most likely the Turks brought it over with Islam.

PulseDriver. The way you used it, it's also used, but has the same meaning. That's where it comes from.

It's funny that some Atheists use words like that and they don't even know why. Like I hear atheists from Albania say Ishala lol.

Or eee Zoti madh.

Ps. Who the f#%! is mr Kabul lol

why do u people insist that the turks brought over all this or whatever. WERE U THERE TO KNOW WHAT THEY BROUGHT OVER OR NOT?? I DONT THINK SO! IF U DONT KNOW THE FACTS THEN SHUT UP!

and to me theres nothing wrong with turkish people. they are actually very nice people. yes there are some that are not so nice, but every nationality has there good and bad.

Listen douche, Ishalla is used as an expression in Albania. Just because someone happens to be an atheist doesn't mean they cant use it. WE KNOW THE MEANING, we dont need you to tell us. I know it's Arabicc. But we dont say it to be religious, i use that and im not religious. We just use it to say "Hopefully"

Also the expression "O zot" which is basically used to say "holy fuck". (even though the literal translation is O god)


Zoti Kabul i've never heard of before, Kabul is most likely some Arabic word.

[Ke Me Pa]

Insh'Allah means if God wills it. It's totally religious, so I find it strange when non-religious Albanians use it. It doesn't mean "hopefully". You may go and use the word to "mean" something non-religious, but it's not, so it's COMPLETELY wrong.

[LEKA1MADH]

Isn't the phrase "If God wills" the same as saying Hopefully?

I know what it means you gypsy Arabic retard, but just because i say it doesn't make me a muslim. It's A FUCKING EXPRESSION that we use in Albania. I don't know what you religious fanatics mean when you say it.

Now fuck off, and go and learn to speak proper Albanian, since half the stuff you say comes from Arabic!

[Ke Me Pa]

Isn't the phrase "If God wills" the same as saying Hopefully?



No.



You're hilarious. May God Bless you :p

[Ke Me Pa]

You may want to do the same thing, since you use Arabic as well ;)

[LEKA1MADH]

No, Ishalla is the only Arabic expression i use, nothing else.


And if you understand English, "God Willing" IS the same as saying hopefully.

[GoSTiVaR]

Anyone know what "kismet" means? We use it sometimes but I'm unable to grasp the true meaning of the word.

[Drin335]

Anyone know what "kismet" means? We use it sometimes but I'm unable to grasp the true meaning of the word.

Another Turko word. Similar to the word Ishalla.....kismet meaning hopefully it will happen.

Zoti Kabul i've never heard of before, Kabul is most likely some Arabic word.

u got a problem or something lol? I know that you understand the meaning. I know why and how you use it. You use it like I use Jesus Christ, in English to say alright already. My point was just that it's funny that Atheists use it. That's all.

Now about Zoti Kabul, are you from a Muslim family? If so ask a Grandparent. 100% they used it. Yea it's Arabic or Turkish. Just like ishala obviously. What's your point? In case you didn't know all religion comes from that region. Christian and Muslim.

[pilemadh]

i didnt say it was god bless i said its something like god bless in a way.. so read it right.

Lmao! Ok ok settle down. Look why would you say what's it's like when someone already explained the exact tranlation? Maybee cause you think u know , but u don't? It's not a mystery of where the word Kabul comes from, or how Islam and Many Arabic/Slavic words came to Albanian lands. Even greeks, bosniand ect. Use many of them. So this is not debatable. It's a fact. Sorry your misinformed on the subject. Now read back in the forum and locate where the exact translation is given. Then talk.

As for turks? When did I say anything bad about them? Just wondering . I like their food. They make some nice doner lol

[pilemadh]

No, Ishalla is the only Arabic expression i use, nothing else.


And if you understand English, "God Willing" IS the same as saying hopefully.

I speak English. Inshala is Arabic for With God Willing.

Hopefully is to be full of hope. Lol. To be hopefull of something. It does not involve God. You need a dictionary? Lol

originally it was a totally religious expression, but today I think it is used widespreadly among albanians regardless of their confessions. It's like most other arabic loans, as "filxhan, çaj, tamam, themel, hava, tavan or xhynah and sarajë.

Yeah, I've noticed we have a lot of words seem like derivatives of Arabic words. I've read certain books and do double takes when they use words that are Arabic and it's so close to a word we use with a similar meaning.

Don't make fun of the boy. He KNOWS what he's doing or saying :rolleyes:

[LEKA1MADH]

ROFL @ the Arab fuckers telling me not to use an Arabic since im not muslim.

Like i said, i don't know how you people use it (since i know your all religious fanatics and think of Allah everytime you say the word Ishalla) BUT in Albania proper, the word is used by everyone no matter what religion, it's just an expression we use to say hopefully. We don't give a fuck if it means God willing in Arabic, only you weirdos do.


Ishalla s'na qani karin ma ju tu na tregu perkthimet e fjaleve Arabe. E kuptova, ju flitni Arabisht? Une nuk e di at gjuhe t'shpifun LOL

Listen gypsy, i've already said it, this is not about hating muslims. My issue was that YOU muslims said atheists can't use the word since it's a religious word, and THE ONLY POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE was that in Albania we use it as an expression, in Albania it has nothing to do with religion. We just replaced the word hopefully with God willing (which i know you cant understand that it's the same) when your waiting for god's will, arent you hopeing? :o

I know when you gypsys speak, everything is about Allah this, ishallahh marshallah, kabul ROFL

Now piss off!

[kapllani]

I personally have always used this word without waisting any thought about its original meaning. To me it has just meant "hopfully" and I think every albanian uses it similarly.

[LEKA1MADH]

How was i trying to prove myself in anything you dim witted moronic illiterate rejects?

All i was saying is that we use that expression in Albania, and we don't mean it in a religious way, so you don't have to be muslim to say Ishalla, EVERYBODY SAYS IT. But then the muslim squad had to say only they are allowed to use it, since it means "God's will"

Who's being the attacker? Telling people not to use certain words because they are not muslims?


Should i tell muslims then not to say the word ZOT since it's a PAGAN WORD?

I guess muslims/christians can't use that word anymore, it's MY PAGAN WORD!

man you'r over-exceeding the limits of stupidity,

Leka, show me where I said you cant use it? once again, you have some sort of problem? I said it was funny. thats all! let me explain why you use it. lol

In Albania it was used by the older generations who practiced Islam. They most likely got it from the turks who happend to rule the area for 500 years. (yet you think there is some kind of problem with some of that culture rubbing off on us).

Nobody is arguing with you on how its used in Albania. We use it the same way. Originally it did have to do with religion. Now people use it randomally.

[pilemadh]

I would never speak a word to you in real life, so save it honey, i try to avoid gypsy religious fanatical Albanians.

But thanks for the argument though, now i wont use your precious word "Ishalla" anymore. No need to use gypsy words when i have an Albanian word i can use.


Shpres :)

So you are saying you use no turk or arabic words? I can probably spend the time and find over 100 you use.

you eat byrek like the rest of us, so stfu. lol

Ishalla your computer breaks

We as Albanians cant deny the fact that the ottomans had a big influence on our culture. they came for 500 years. you dont have to act like Albania is all pure and the rest of Albanian lands are like arabs. its ignorant. the only differnece between albania and the Kosova, Macedonia, Montenegro, is Enver Hoxha for 50 some years. you calling everyone gypsy , and turk yet you come from A country with foreign names all over the place. villages named slav names n shit. slow down homo.

Dude this is getting old man. Did you read the thread? Of course i use the word Ishalla.


Here's a recap of what happened.

Pile Madh said he thought it was funny how atheists in Albania use the word Ishalla.

Then i replied to his comments and explained that in Albnania proper everyone use that word as an expression for saying hopefully (it doesn't matter if your muslim, catholic or atheist)

Then Ke Me Pa came in and said that atheists shouldn't use that word because it means God's will in Arabic.

Then i called her a gypsy due to her ignorance.


And there you go :)

I wasn't making any claims for using pure Albanian lol i was only defending the atheists/christians right to say the word Ishalla

Allah Kabul = Zoti na pranoft

[donidardanis]

lol whats the problem with you guys here. how do u guys even pull off starting fight over something so freaking obvious. I can understand Leka, the words ishalla is not used only by muslims, and yes those who use it does know what it means but it has stayed as a word instead of shpresoj. i think very few think of "nese don zoti", only with real muslims who breathe, eat, think and practice islam.
and lol at the girl getting mad over the fact that turks forced some things over. tht is not shocking, since many albanian muslims like to deny tht their religion was forced over o them by taxes and such things. same goes for albanian christians. in the end same thing, why bother believing in something tht comes and goes.

and the only logical person on this forum is kapllani, honestly speaking. u others are in one way or the other extreme about various things. just had to say tht :)

[arnavet]

it comes from Kabul olsun in turkish !

[RasBardhylis]

especially religion is something not worthwhile to stickle about!

The Religion of Albania is Albanianism first and foremost... f*ck this argueing about Muslim or Catholic

[Achillies]

it means that zoti has made the thing or event great

[yllbardh]

Zoti means Lord... not Allah. If Allah is the Arabic name of the Lord, let them call it so.

Zot means Lord and is used for people too:

Imzot - Milord (my lord)
Zoti Lani - Lord/Mr. Lani (as a title)
I don't know where you heard Zoti Kabull, but it most likely means Mr. Kabull.
If you heard it in a prayer in a mosque or something, it's part of e sentence meaning "the lord accepts"... for kabul means to accept... but they would most likely have said "allahu pranon"

As far as I know in albanian language there is a distinguished diference between Zot=God and Zotëri=Mister. I can't simply understand the now days deviation form that because it isn't the first time that I heard it!!!

[yllbardh]

what does it mean ... and also how do you respond when someone says it to you?

thanks

Kabullë is a albanisation of a turkish word "qabul", witch is with arabic origin and means acceptance so there from:

"Zoti ta baft kabullë" means God accept it from there usually the answer to this phrase is Amen.

Maybe you have learned Italiano of fucking Greek words.
All Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox they use words from their so called Holy Books (written by humans).
Nowadays Albanians TV (Kosova, Albania and Macedonia) use a lot of fucking foreigner words especially in Albania, damn a lot of fucking Italian words, they irritate me whenever they use words in foreign language when they can use PURE ALBANIANS words.

They remind me as some white boys wants to be WIGGER also these are acting like WANNA BE AMERICAN or ITALIAN.
