Every source I checked had kahve or kahveh for the Turkish spelling. I never saw the spelling qahveh as a representation of the Turkish, only of the Arabic. The Turkish Wikipedia page http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahve does not contain a single letter q! Could this be a romanization of the Ottoman Turkish words as it written in the Arabic script? — Hippietrail 09:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Buno[edit]

The real name of coffee is "buno". (The word "coffee" came from Kaffa region.) Böri (talk) 11:45, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Lua error imminent[edit]

Please consider moving translations to a subpage if lua errors appear--So9q (talk) 10:34, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

coffee-and ...[edit]

Apparently (and perhaps barely attestable from a Google Books search):

  • a "coffee-and habit" is a minor drug habit, less than full addiction.
  • a "coffee-and pimp" is one who makes very little money.

Don't know if this might be related to coffee and cakes.
