That’s really surprising to hear some words which we also have in Russian 😀, like findik - фундук (hazelnut), not to say that tea sounds exactly the same “чай” 😊 and one false friend - Russian “табак” means tobacco, but sounds just like your plate 😅
Such an interesting crossover episode, thank you! 🌟👏😀

[ethanmadani]

You should add Persian as well. Persian, Arabic and Turkish have many things in common.

[deyaniragallardo]

My two favorite languages. It took me a while to speak Turkish. One day I will speak Arabic. Awesome video :)

[eduardocandidodasilva]

Very interesting video! I am Brazilian. For me, the Arabic calligraphy itself is already an stunning art.

[wanderleyalves]

Love it. But it is very hard. And the alphabet is really interesting, but difficult too. 👍🏿👍 From Brazil 🇧🇷

[mschauki]

The alphabet was the same until the 1930s, which in a way explains the many words in common. Because when Turkish was written in Arabic it did acquire a huge number of Arabic and Persian loanwords, and then when they switched to the Latin alphabet they needed to simply respell those words using the Latin alphabet the way they spoke them in Turkish.

[OgedayKaan]

for your interest; turkish is influenced by arabic and persian because they have been used in literature and science in ottoman times (like english today). but there is a turkic language spoken by people. so most of the words also has a turkic correspondence. that is why there is a chapter in turkish lessons like "the words with same meaning" and "the words with same sound". for instance: çehre (persian), surat (arabic) and yüz (turkic) are all used for "face" in turkish. Or we use "yaşam" (turkish), "ömür" (arabic) and "hayat" (arabic) for "life". On the other hand there is a word "kar" in turkish which means "snow" (turkic word translation) and "benefit" (persian word translation). but you can also use the turkic word "kazanç" which is used for "benefit".

[Pannekoekpony]

Nice!!
Portakal (burtaqal) is a word that pops up in my mind.

[LeValdrian]

Çok teşekkürler!! Your videos honestly motivate me to continue learning this magnificent language! Please never change. Iyi günler ☺

[mathewlalaga]

I would love to learn Turkish, I've been to that country in 2019, very beautiful

[rusoturisto]

Very interesting that many words sounds like in uzbek language. And I think, like in many turquic languages, as for example kazah, kyrgyz, turkman, uygur, azeri etc. Thanks a lot for the video.

[masaru]

Interesting topic👏🏻
Is the Arabic here refering to Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect? It is also interesting to know that we share some words in Turkish with Egyptian Arabic like dolap (دلاب) and at the same time totally other words with Syrians like cüzdan (جذدان).

[dova]

Turkey had been a part of Islamic culture, learning, thought and tradition for six and a half centuries so it is expected that some words have been influenced by arabic which im glad for, shows the brotherhood the turks and arabs had until recently.

[poouhaha]

This is a great video! Hopefully we will see more easy Arabic videos in the style of the ever popular easy German videos!

[Altair.]

By the way, Qahwa "coffee" is an Arabic word that is used in the whole universe "Qahwa" with different accents, but all of them mean Qahwa.
