pronounced 'geh-jay-kondoo,'

Robert Neuwerth (who spent considerable time in Turkey writing about gecekondu):

This is why squatter housing in Turkey is called gecekondu (pronounced 'geh-jay-kondoo,'

the word is a combination of gece, "night" in Turkish, plus kondurmak, "to happen" or

"appear"), meaning "it happened at night."
