Greek and Turkish word borrowings

Greeks and Turks interacted a lot throughout history, especially under the Ottoman rule in the region that lasted about 4 centuries straight. This led to a long-lasting cultural and linguistic exchange between both civilizations.
This video is divided into two parts. In the first one, I give you 15 #Greek words of #Turkish origin, and in the second part, I give you 15 Turkish words that are of Greek origin. You will get 3 extra interesting words if you stick till the end.
Hope you enjoy it!
PS: I don't know why I felt like shifting my accent to a rather British one, with some exceptions here and there. :)

I would swear to God that karpuz (Greek καρπούζι "karpouzi") was a Turkish word, but after looking into it you were right, apparently it comes from Greek karpos, then Persian herbez then Turkish karpuz and then again into Greek karpouzi) but the ancient word for watermelon is υδροπέπων "iδropepon" (literally water+melon).

[@TUNC66]

You are absolutely wrong, Watermelon is still called Karbuz (Watermelon) in all Central Asian and Uyghur Turkish, even the Russians call it Karbuz (Watermelon). You are very wrong. If you think about it, you will lose it. This is a Turkish word.

Finally someone talked about the name "Istanbul" being of Greek origin...Everyone fusses over non Turks calling it Constantinople and not Istanbul but it's not even an actual Turkish word... Being Greek I call it Constantinople not in some vein persistence of its origin but in refusal of the stupidity of the word Istanbul.... Εις την Πόλη, means : "Toward the City", just imagine calling a city "Toward the city".... "Hey where are you going?" "I'm going to Toward the city".... "Where are you from?" "I'm from Toward the city".... yeah.... :/

Some people get angry about it but personally i think it originates from ignorance. Istanbul had many names over the years, bzytantium konstantiyye and stanpoli and so on. So its part of our collective history we should cherish it. And now a days it is used as an exonym. For example we call thesolaniki selanik so it sonly fair that you should call the “city “ name in greek. Cheers.

Very nice video @@Patrick.Khoury . I would like to add though that ταβάνι and οροφή have distinct meanings. Ταβάνι is the ceiling and it refers solely to internal room spaces . Every room has a ταβάνι. Οροφή on the other hand refers rather to the highest point of a building. It can also refer to the upper part of other things e.g. we may say oροφή of a car .

[@timurotken]

Οροφή- roof

Very nice! Some minor comments: 1)the word deriving from the turkish "kavga", tends to be written with a "β" "καβγάς", since borrowed words must have simple spelling rules [many would write it as you did, though], 2)"αλισβερίσι" means "dealings, commercial/political relations, etc" in informal colloquial language, not only shopping, 3)for "καραμπογιά", I had to look up for it, since I hadn't heard of that compound word; I know both parts of it separately, that is, "καρα-" is a common prefix meaning not only "black", but some property emphasized [see for the informal word "καρατσεκαρισμένο", meaning "double/triple checked", and "μπογιά" is indeed used for "paint", though, "βαφή" is more formal, 4)As it has already been commented previously, "ταβάνι" is indeed still commonly used; "οροφή" is more formal, 5) 5:30 - the verb is stressed on the penultimate syllable, it's "γιουχάρω", NOT "γιουχαρώ" and the ending is "-άρω" not "-ίζω", as you said, 6)"καλντερίμι" is a cobblestoned road - the word tends to be less common nowadays [fun fact: the derivative word "καλντεριμιτζού", used to be a not-so-subtle way to say that a woman was prostitute], 7)for "χαράμι", my comment is about the pronunciation: the suffix "-ι" is pronounced like that letter in most syllables, not as "schwa", not like the turkish "i" without the dot, 8)"πεσκίρι" is outdated, or exists in some dialects, 9) 9:30 the word is reborrowed in Greek as "λιμάνι", which is more commonly used in everyday speech, while "λιμένας" is the formal term. As you may have already guessed, there are levels of formality in Greek. For more formal speech and [governmental or military] documents, the loanwords are avoided both as informal and because of their origin [due to historical reasons]. 10)Finally, "καραγκιοζιλίκι" in Greek derives from the Greek shadow theatre character "Καραγκιόζης" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karagiozis Way to go!

I guess, this is just my idea, Karagozluk may be perceived in Turkish as black eyeglasses however here the meaning must be related to the act of someone like the anonymous character (Karagoz); and -luk suffix is to describe the meaning as Karagoz -ish. This person and Hacivat (Turkish version) are believed to live in Bursa (Ottoman capital). But It is very strange to see how common is this character in each balkan, anatolian and middle eastern culture; and why their story and later the shadowplay act is spreaded to many cultures:) I am kindly expecting another video of these series, because there are lots of other examples as we see in this video, common in our cultures.

Υοο file very cool video, you look incredibly like a Greek, do you happen to have ancestors from northwest Asia Minor? But you also have great accent in all languages so I couldn't tell. When you mention μπόλικος coming from bol, it's important to consider the ancient theme of βολ- from which for example comes βολή which means basically to feel at ease and βολικό something comfortable and the word πολύ, πολύς which means a lot as in fulfill or be fulfilled so if there's a lot of food it makes sense υπάρχει "boliko" fagito gia olous->life is good and easy. Also the word Μπόσικος-comfortable and easy has to be related somehow. Also instead of the word χαράμι sometimes the word στράφι is used, i.e. πήγε στράφι, "χαραμίστηκε" do you know of its origin maybe? Also you think you can do a video about Persian/Arab to Turkish and vice versa linguistic exchange through the centuries? It's so interesting to observe the cultural influence among nations. Have a good one

[@recep2939]

Hey man nice video! The "bozuk" comes from "bozuk düzen" meaning something like "out of order" which is because bouzouki is created upon or really close relative of the bağlama instrument (also known as saz). Basically they used a different tuning than bağlama and added the fourth string, so it is called as such because it has "out of order" tuning. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouzouki

[@zeynepiremgunes7302]

You don't really know how borrowings work. A word can be of a different origin but what matters is from which language it came. So let's say haram came to Turkish from Arabic but the source of the Greek word isn't Arabic, it entered the language through Turkish. Also, the impact of Greek language on Turkish is minimal as well compared to Arabic, French, and Persian. Yeah, even the French was more impactful. I think you should learn how to be kind first. Also, you are far from your ancient glory. Instead of looking down on others, let's build friendships. It will benefit everyone.

Zeynep İrem Güneş I simply suggested that a complex turkish word comes from *an ancient Greek saying,* ie that though it is made of TURKISH WORDS, it is of Greek origin (the saying it orginates from), therefore this is a reborrowing. I never claimed the words are of Greek origin. _ The Greeks had close relations with Persians and the Arabic tribes, for *literally thousands of years before* you Turks appear in the history of this region. So please... _ I said nothing about the impact of the Greek language on Turkish. I just mentioned one single word. _ I cant really see where I was rude and much more to whom. The person who made this video saw no offence. Only you saw an offence and thats your own problem. _ Let's build friendships you say? But the friendship between the Turkish and the Greek people *is there.* You Turks just need to exceed your past and reach this friendship. *And I say this* because you, the Turkish people, vote for those who directly threaten Greece with a military invasion day in, day out, and Im referring to the Turkish political spectrum as a whole. You allow them to do this, you the people are fueling this situation. "We will come at night" says *everyday* your president and others officials to Greece... I suggest if you gonna come at night, to beware of the dark; ancient creatures lie in the dark; it's our damn mythology which comes alive in such occasions. You want friendship? *Comply to the United Nations Charter,* according to which a Casus Belli is *illegal;* Greek sovereignty over a *grain of sand* is non-negotiable; maritime zones are determined using the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas *not with threats of war as you do;* comply to the International Laws; remove your army from Cyprus; etc etc. These just for a start... Then we can build as much friendship as you want mate. _ Yes, Im very far from my ancient glory, but on one hand such a ancient glory and history just cant be repeated (e.g. you cant re-invent Democracy, can you?) and on the other hand *at least I have one* while moving looking forward. You dont. Have a nice day mate.

Is this an input, an insult, or an amalgamation of both?

There are Greek last names that are obviously Turkish. Tzoubris, for example.

[@Efendi-000]

Greek -> Tr = Urgan (Organ), Iklim (Climate), Alet (tool), Kilit(Lock), Bodrum(Mezzanine), Filiz, Fidan,, etc.. I believe Turkish Language has more original Greek words than Greek itself. lol

Never heard of καραμπογιά! Αλισβερίσι we use in situations like when we don't want to have any further contact or relations with some one. Δε θέλω κανένα αλισβερίσι μαζί του = I don't want any relation with him. Never heard of πεσκίρι! Bahar is not Greek, although we use μπαχάρι designating a specific spice. Μέθυσος still means drunk.

What you probably don't know, friend, is that the Turkish and English languages were created purely and only from the words of the neighboring peoples!

[@OG-ge8nu]

Sure before their neighbours Turks didnt speak with each other. They had no language. But very strange that as a Turk you can understand and talk to so many Turkish people around the world. Like the Gagavuz in Moldavia, the Kırgız in Kırgızistan, the Uzbek in Uzbekistan, the Uyghurs in Turkistan and so on. But these people had no contact to the neighbours of the Turks of nowadays Turkey. Very strange really strange.

[@antoniosdimoulas3566]

I am native Greek, and Turkish words are not being used in the Greek language, no more. A handful that might be circulating still in existence are very infrequent. I don’t speak Turkish, but I bet, hundreds if not thousands of Greek words are included in the Turkish language, through French, English, Arabic and Latin… A 100 years ago, there was not even a Turkish alphabet. In 1923 Turkey adopted the Latin, which is based in Greek alphabet.. Greek rich civilization, always was influencing invaders, including Romans and Ottomans. To try to say the Turks influence the Greeks, it’s a long stretch of imagination…..

[@Patrick.Khoury]

Thank you for your kind input, Sir Antonios! It seems like the Turks use a lot more Greek words in their language.. interesting

[@OG-ge8nu]

As a long part of your history you were people of the Ottoman Empire. But Turks were never ruled by greeks. I mean never ever. You can now try to convince your crude imagination that you were not influenced. Never heard such a stupid funny thing like yours.
