Komentaryos/Notes
The recorded voice you are hearing is Rachel Bortnick (Izmir), longtime Ladino language activist and founder of Ladinokomunitá.
This domain is based on speech from Eliezer Bivas and Israel "Izzet" Bana, both speakers from Istanbul. Izzet is the director of the Sephardic children's choir "Las Estreyikas de Estambol" (the little stars of Istanbul). It was edited by Rachel Bortnick (Izmir).
Coffee cup/mug: findjan and tasa are both ways to say this.
findjan is a Turkish borrowing (fincan), and traditionally these are small coffee cups.
tasa is a mug, including of larger sizes.
