Amanet majci: Difference between revisions
(Created page for Amanet majci. I've been looking at the definition for the word. It's a Turkish loan word and I've seen it as "behest", "vow", "trust" like a "trust fund", "will"... the list goes on. Not sure how to translate it, but I've left it like this. Feel free to change it.) |
