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.

[@MrTree-yw5yw]

@@TUNC66 Russians call it "arbuz", without the initial "k". But that's beside the point, which is, the word "karpouzi" originates from Ancient Greek. It's a non-negotiable question, many etymological dictionaries show an entire journey of the word in different languages, indicating that it was indeed borrowed from Turkish but came from Ancient Greek in the first place.

[@TUNC66]

Don't talk nonsense, food thief is Greek, Karbuz or watermelon is the word (Kar means snow. Buz means ice. It is pronounced as Karbuz. Now go and don't come around here, you stupid guy.

[@TUNC66]

@@MrTree-yw5yw This word is not Russian at all, all Central Asian Turks call it Karbuz, and even Uyghur Turks in China call it Karbuz.

[@apo.7898]

@@TUNC66 It doesn't matter. See how words like tomato and potato spread. It is possible that Common Turkic took it from an Iranian language. Modern Greek definitely took the word from Ottoman Turkish. But Greek definitely has a native word KARPOS which means 'FRUIT' and it is related to other Indoeuropean words. In my opinion it can be from a lost language.

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 .

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!

Your pronunciation of Modern Greek is impeccable for a non-native speaker. I do want to point out, however, that Medieval and Modern Greek have identical phonologies, except for the use of /y/ (the sound makes in Turkish) for the letter upsilon, since it was the last vowel to be iotacised. Ancient Greek has radically different phonology, so if you're not sure what that is you can always use Modern Greek phonology as proxy.

Can i make a guess ? Your grandfather was Greek from Minor Asia with a surname like Papageorgiou or Papadimitriou or something with Papa (Khouri in Arabic) and when he entered Lebanon as a refugee, the Arabs were bored with all these long greek names whose meaning was Khouri Georgios or Khouri Dimitrios, so they just gave him the simple surname Khouri or El Khouri. Your grandfather was speaking Turkish as well because he was a refugee from Turkey, so you were taught both Greek and Turkish and that is the reason your accent is perfect Greek and Turkish at the same time! Am i right???? 🙂

Excellent work, you have studied both languages in great depth. Just one observation, Αλισβερίσι in modern Greek is mostly used in the negative sense, usually for a corrupt or otherwise unacceptable quid pro quo, as in "Αυτό το πολιτικό αλισβερίσι πρέπει επιτέλους να σταματήσει", and NEVER for normal financial transactions. Great work other than that, and thank you for teaching me the word "πεσκίρι", I didn't know it.

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?

great careful work. Some corrections: tavani (ταβανι) is not outdated, it is used regularly. Also alisverisi (αλισβερίσι) is a little outdated but everyone will understand what you mean if you use it. Then again I have never heard of karaboya (καραμπογιά), i mean we know kara means black as many greek lastnames begin with Kara or are Kara. Also youharw( γιουχάρω) is toned το the "a:, not the last letter "o". Like youhAro, and it doesnt end in -ιζω (izo) but -αρω (aro). There is a variation that ends with -izo (-ιζω) and sounds like yuharIzo (with tone to the "i"). Never heard peskiri, maybe in some regions or dialects they say it? But we use peskesi, which is a gift, and comes from turkish.usually a gift to a person who you need to help you in exchange. You have a great pronunciation ~!~!

The word is derived from Turkish verb stem kaldir- (to lift) , therefore "sidewalk" is usually on a higher platform. Kallidromos proposal is baseless.

[@efxinos1673]

@@onuraksaray8335 Kallidromos = beautiful road. I think it is much closer in meaning than "sidewalk". I'm not a philologist, so I won't insist. In any case, where we can in big cities let's replace the asphalt with paved floors / kalderims. It's more humane and healthier.

[@onuraksaray8335]

@@efxinos1673 kallidromos is not beautiful road lol. O Kalos dromos is. That is why the proposal is grammatically incorrect. Plus kallidromos(?) was never used in Greek before, but kaldırım was and is in use in Turkish till today

[@efxinos1673]

@@onuraksaray8335 The word "kallos" means beauty. Example from modern Greek: Kallistia = beauty pageant The word "kalos" means good, beautiful. The words are synonymous. The words Kallidromos, kallidromio, mean "beautiful road". There is also an ancient Greek male name Kallidromos. Example of a present-day name: - "Kallidromiou" street in central Athens You can see this street on the internet. It is paved. There are also today villages and mountains with the name Kallidromos (= village or mountain with beautiful streets).

Actually, Greeks from Misti, were mixed Ancient Greek with Turkish to have some words. Αλισβερίσι … it’s not for ψώνια. nowadays, we are use this word for referring to something it’s illegal. “ Το αλισβερίσι ναρκωτικών πάει σύννεφο.” Or “ Θα πάει μακριά αυτό το αλισβερίσι;” 1. “ the drunk exchange keeps going.” 2. “ will this thing gonna be continue?” As you can see, there are many words that does not exactly been used nowadays in the morning Greece in the way that the Turkish university as you can see, there are many words that does not exactly been used nowadays in the morning Greece in the way that the Turkish university thinks.

Most probably a big part of the Turkish words used by Greeks have either Arabic or Persian origin. For example the word haram which has an Arabic origin. We Armenians using also some borrowed words that we consider as Turkish but they are actually Persian or Arabic

Hi, bozouki was seen at the time as a “broken” or “mutated” version of the Saz/Baglama due to the differences in the neck of the instrument and strings. That’s why it was called bozuk and then Hellenified into “Bouzouki”.

There is a misunderstanding with the beans - φασόλια. The word bean in modern Greek is φασόλι and (older or in countryside) φασούλι, in plural φασόλια - φασούλια. Φασολιά is the tree again in modern language . All these come from the ancient φασίολος (the tree).

As native speaker of Bosnian language, Slavic language from the Western Balkans, I have found this video more than interesting. Our language is a Slavic with lot of influence from other languages like German, Italian (more likely Latin) and Ottoman Turkish and 90% words you mentioned in this video are used in Bosnian. Those words came into Bosnian ether trough Ottoman Turcic or directly from Greek, most of orthodox priests until 20th century were Greeks Fenariots. It would be interesting to hear other words. For example "sevdasi" for love ❤️

I thing kalderim cromes from the Greek Kalıdromos (καλλίδρομος) litteraly meaning beautiful road

I think in Turkish kaldırım comes from the verb ''kaldırmak'' which means ''to lift'' or ''to elevate''.

[@impinas]

Also various regions use words maybe not used in others, for example where I come from I've learned to use αλισβερίσι, σεφτές, σοκάκι, καρσί, άφεριμ and more I can't recall now.

Thing is we do have Greek words for all Turkish words we use, do the Turks have words for those of Greek origin in there own language?

Turkish pusula (compass) sounds like a borrowing from Italian (bussola) or French (boussole), themselves from buxola (small box) in vulgar/late Latin. Zanichelli mentionne deux étymologies au-delà : 1) buxida (petite bois de buis [buxus] lié au grec pixis/pixida à l'accusatif, de même sens) mais on n'explique pas alors le passage de -ida à -ola ou 2) directement le diminutif bossola [petit buis] tiré de bosso [buis].
