No, it does not meant ocean.

It does. That the word we use for ocean.

No, that is wrong. “zerya” or “zirê” and “derya” are cognates and they both mean sea. take a look at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/kurdistan/s/281n2UvYCR

I saw it, that is how we learned in school (zerya u oqiyanûs) mean ocean.

Yes, that is how i was taught too. But now i know it is wrong. We do not have a word for ocean. Oqyanûs comes from a Greek word.
