[@cengizylmaz1808]

The Turkish flag is the victory of the day against the night. that star represents the sun and the moon represents the night, it is multi-armed like the sun in old Turkish flags. Like the crescent and star used on the Azerbaijan flag today. The sun is very important for Turks. According to their beliefs, they fight day and night on December 22, when the nights start to get shorter and the days get longer. After a long battle, the day wins by beating the night. Turks celebrate the victory and rebirth of this sun with great festivities under the maple tree. The rebirth of the sun is perceived as a new birth. The name of the feast is NARDUGAN.

[@hurguler]

Usually when I bring up the grammatical similarity between Turkish and Japanese & Korean some people oppose this theory and discount all the evidence. We are not saying Turkish and Japanese & Korean are sister languages but I think there's a relationship between the proto Japonic and proto Turkic and that they're distant cousins. One of the reasons why some linguists discount the Ural-Altaic theory is that there are hardly any cognates (common words) but I think the separation took place so long ago that words evolved and the grammatical structure didn't change as much.

[@michaelrenper796]

Linguists are pedantic in distinguishing "language families" and "other borrowings". Nobody denies that the ancestors of the "languages formerly known as Altaic" (Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Japonic, Koreanic - each here is a family in its own) formed some form of "Sprachbund" - likely in the area that was once Manchuria. The best dcoumented Sprachbund are the languages on the Balkan. Although Slavic, Romanic and Albanian come from very diffrent branches of the Indo-European family they are grammatically and sound system wise very similar. Also sharing vocabulary. But clearly this was a contact effect in historic time (from 500AD till the 1900s when national states formed). Something similar is assumed for the "Altaic languages". What is muddying the water 1) We have no written text from the time when that Sprachbund must have existed (~1000BC-2000BC) 2) In the steppe ethnic identity and languages are a very fluent things. Turkic, Mongolic may be merger/hybrids of older languages 3) There are HUGE numbers of borrowings (Khan being the most famous one) 4) We KNOW that Korea had multiple languages before 500AD (unification) - If you want an analogy think about Italy before the Romans unified it. We know of a dozens of language or so. Some not even Indo-European (Etruscan). How those ended up evolving to standard Korean is muddy. One of those languages might have been in the Japonic family.

It's because Korean and Japanese are also part of the Altai-Turk family. There are many proofs for this and word order in our languages is one of the strongest proof.

[@batuhancokmar7330]

When writing properly in Turkish, there is almost always a comma "," after subject. Its not a rare thingy we put from time to time, its a rule. "wa" in Japanese is pretty much equal in function to comma we put after the subject.. For example: "O, dün benimle konuştu." Its NOT "O" but "O + (comma).. Kare = O; wa = , "Ben, hergün okula giderim" Ben = watashi; wa = , again. Actually writing these two sentence without comma is not entirely correct.. However most of the time lack of it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, so we native speakes tend to "forget" it. Only main difference is, Japanese almost always put "wa" as a strict rule, we bend the comma rule a little and put "," only if sentence is so long we think reader might forget what the subject is, or subject is not crystal clear by context, like: "O, kitabı aldı." = HE took the book, with emphasis on doer of the action. "O kitabı aldı." = He took that book. Google translate to english fails on this. The actual doer of action is not written on this example so no comma here. Doer of action still exists and exactly known because of agglutination on the "aldı". Its also possible to write: "O, o kitabı aldı" = HE took THAT book, with emphasis on both who took it and which book he took. We can also just say "Kitabı aldı" and it will still translate to "He took the book" without emphasizing anything, but that is off topic a little. Or say "O kitabı o aldı" = HE took that book, to put extra emphasis on who did the action by putting it closer to the verb. Yep, Turkish is probably very annoying for non-native speakers. More similarities: In daily speech, Turkish speakers dont say "Ben, ben, ben".. It sounds childish, annoying and arrogant depending on topic. "I am going to school" is just "okula gidiyorum" most of the time. No "ben" unless intent is emphasizing it. In daily speech, Japanese don't say "watashi wa" over and over as well. Just like in Turkish, it sounds childish, annoying or arrogant. When a student say "I am going to school" he just says "Gakko ni iku". Just like in Turkish example, there is no "watashi wa" unless intent is emphasizing it. In Turkish and Japanese, Bu=Kore=this, Şu=Sore=that and O=Are=that. Its really difficult to explain the difference between Şu/Sore and O/Are when only tranlsation is "That" in English, but their usage is exactly the same in both languages; it depends on context, on what you are pointing at, or from how much distance etc. Think in Turkish and you will never fail in Japanese, or vice versa. "what is this" is informally we say "Bu ne" Japanese say informally "kore nani" and translates directly word by word into Turkish. I wouldn't say my English is insufficent per se, but trying to learn Japanese from English is like trying to shave with a spoon or something. Thinking in Turkish? Learning Japanese is only a matter of learning alphabets and vocabulary 90% of the time.. Rest? Honorifics and cultural use cases.

[@enesnok]

Turkic, japanese , mongol, korean are all from the same ural language family. Which means that, speakers of these languages are related by blood.

[@Glossologia]

Really fun video! So, while modern linguists have for the most part rejected the idea that Japanese and Turkic languages are descended from a common ancestor, they do accept that there is a strong connection between these languages. Probably very early in their development, these languages were spoken in a similar geographic area and thus influenced one another at a structural level. This may seem strange, but it's actually a very common phenomenon. For instance, take the case of Bulgarian and Romanian. Romanian is a Romance language, related to Italian, Spanish, French, etc. Bulgarian is a slavic language, related to Serbo Croatian, Russian, Polish, etc. Compare the following words/phrases: English - wolf Italian - lupo Romanian - lup Bulgarian - vŭlk Russian - volk - English - the wolf Italian - il lupo Romanian - lupul Bulgarian - vŭlkŭt Russian - volk So as you can see, Italian, like all other romance languages, has a definite article 'il' which goes before the noun and is a separate word. Russian, like all other Slavic languages, has no articles at all. However, Bulgarian and Romanian both have a definite article which is attached to the end of the word. Neither Latin (the origin of Romanian) nor Old Bulgarian had articles at all, so this shared feature developed through contact between both languages. Fascinatingly, Albanian, another Balkans language, also has articles attached to the end of the word: wolf - ujk the wolf - ujku This is just one example - there are many, many more grammatical features that these languages share which must have developed recently through contact. Thus, we can acknowledge that Turkic languages, Mongolic languages, Koreonic languages and Japonic languages have a strong connection even if they are *technically* unrelated languages.

[@Vidchemy]

The connection between seemingly unrelated languages is interesting. I remember a Scientific American article (c. 1980s) about language development that discussed the concept of "natural language". Natural languages are ones that developed without human intervention, other than grammatical rules. An example was a very young American child who was talking in English. She sometimes got the word order wrong, but the word order would have been correct in German. Regarding connections of Japanese with other languages, another YT video points out shape similarities between katakana and hebrew.

Turkic, Mongolic, Manchu, Korean, and Japanese languages are all from Northeast Asia, and they have extremely similar grammar structures. While the phonetics of Anatolian dialect and vocabulary has changed from original Turkic (due to contact with Iranian/Muslim sounds and vocab in the past 1,000 years or so), the grammar principles should be mostly the same with other Northeast Asian languages, even today.

Ofcourse Turkish Japanese and even Korean must have similarities. Study the history and ruling of turkic Mongolian people. In reality Japanese and Korean are mix of turkic and Mongolian. They are brothers. Culture of Japanese korean and all turkic people are very similar

It is true that the ancestors of the Japanese can be traced back to Africa. But that was about 38,000 years ago. This was 12,000 years after the birth of mankind. If we believe in the single African origin theory, the languages of every country in the world will be closer to Africa lol

I am very excited to learn more about Japanese and turkish language. I born in germany but my mum and my dads mum born both in Turkey....And because I live in germany and only speak turkish at home, I speak broken turkish. So I also learn to speak turkish fluently.

[@s0litud333]

Well, the exact same case goes for me too. I was born and raised in Germany but my parents are Turkish. Since I'm living in Germany unfortunately my Turkish isn't that good. I'd say I can speak very well but when it comes to writing... I'm really not good at. Anyway, I can speak 3 languages; German, Turkish and English (not fluently tbh) and I'm on my way to learn Japanese. Perhaps I'll visit a language school in Japan if I'll get the chance someday.

[@xypaisb8026]

Turks who are living in Germany can't speak Turkish fluently either so it's ok. My Turkish is broken too

How interesting. The particle to indicate destine/direction in Turkish is "a". In Spanish "a" also has the same function, except we can combine it with the definite particle when referring to the place in question a > al (a el, to the in English).

[@lolhcd]

Turkish, Japanese and other languages with that feature of "adding information via affixes/suffixes or just structure" to the Subjects are called agglutinative languages or have agglutinative features. It basically means "adding/glueing to" through suffixes. German and Old English for example have that too, so sometimes verbs can stand at the end of a sentence, which sounds elegant or natural for natives or people who have it too in their languages. But for foreigners, it's kinda process-heavy because you'd have to wait till the end of the sentence to get meaning out of the whole structure since verbs are so important to give the sentences a direction of what it is about. ALSO: many european languages and other languages morph and flex their words according to pronouns, tense and syntactic environment, which doesn't happen in e.g. Chinese or Vietnamese, where everything is in the "infinitive" form, making it sound primitive by grammar to others, which really isn't. That's why some foreigners have trouble conjugating words, like "she have do it" or "he do it" because they are having a hard time changing/understanding why they have to change the words according to what proceeds/follows, common in adult-language acquisition This is also partially why modern English has less of these conjugated words! English used to be just like German, but since German has kept many rules from Old German or the common ancestor English and German share, German ended up preserving more of these rules than English today. So it's not like German is older than English, which a lot of people think, they are both around the same age but one changed more due to different influences.

[@user-rt6fq8wk1d]

10:26 That's actually correct! To be precise, it'd be "Does the thing (こと) of gone to Japan exists?" The "thing of going" is being there at some certain time, or period, before.

Love this! As a native Tatar speaker it's always pleasure to me to find similarities between Tatar and Turkish languages (as well as with other turkic languages). I would read the first sentence as "Bu kitap kizil". We don't have the word "kirmizi", but when I've been to Istanbul I saw a billboard with a red star logo and "Kizil yildiz" written down, which is a literal translation for a red star in Tatar, so I guess "kizil" is used by Turks as well. And the second sentence like "Min har kenne mektepke yerim". I've never heard of word "okul", but we have a word "uku", which means studying/reading, so even in case if I don't understand the word, often with some time I can find a logical explanation. I mean not 100 out of 100, but most of the time. And this brilliant video takes the fun to the whole next level with this stunning similarities with Japanese! Thank you!

Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Mongolian are in the same family tree so they are very similar in grammar even some words are sound similar but if you really want to know which one is more similar I will go for Korean-Turkish.
