What does 'bad' mean?

So green, such nice architecture. Seems like a planned city.

I already thought it might mean 'city' and you're right it's abad not bad. Like Pakistan Zindabad or Hyderabad

In Turkey city is called Shahir (Şehir), which is also a Persian word. Did you know that word?

Yes the word Shehr means city in Urdu as well. Also out of curiousity what does the word "por" mean in Turkish, like Trabzonspor. In Pakistan the word "por" is used at the end of city names as well like "abad". (Bahawalpur for example).

Yes, that was funny. Now I know how stupid my mistake must have sounded. Just one letter makes a world of difference
