Greek and Turkish word borrowings

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).

Your pronunciation in each and every one language you used in this video was mind blowing. 🤯

Incredible video! But ταβάνι is definitely not outdated. We use it more than οροφή

Fun fact: Yes, Haram means forbidden however it's just a religiously way to say this. Forbidden is Yasaklı/Yasaklanmış in Turkish 😉👍

We live together so many years..and we are neighbor countries ..you give us and wr give you...not only words but foods delights ...many things in our cultures..the reality is this.Nothing change.

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pronounced like that letter in most syllables, not as "schwa", not like the turkish "i" without the dot, 8)"πεσκίρι" is outdated, or exists in some dialects, 9) 9:30 the word is reborrowed in Greek as "λιμάνι", which is more commonly used in everyday speech, while "λιμένας" is the formal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" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karagiozis Way to go! Keep up with the good work!

Merhaba Patrick kardeşim, Sizde çok güzel Türkçe kelimeleri telaffuz ettiniz. Kutluyorum sizi. ❤

Never heard "karaboya" and "peskiri" used in Greek interactions. Although I am middle aged and large part of my family comes from Smyrna which they had some knowledge of Turkish.

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 <ü> 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.

Παρακαλω, Patrick. Thank you for providing facts and support that show that these neighbors naturally are similar in obvious ways including food. Cultures borrow from other cultures because there are gaps in cultures for which other cultures help to fill. It’s a ver human and natural phenomenon. You’re a fantastic teacher and you’re doing good things for the people with open minds who are interested in facts rather inflexible beliefs. Peace and harmony to you.

for me, efendi and ırgat was surprising that comes from greek. by the way peşkir and saloz are obviously very 'ottoman time words' because I'm pretty sure I haven't heard anyone uses them, even old people :) great video thanks!

Very nice video! Thanks for the sharing! Best regards! 🇹🇷🙏🇬🇷

Footprints of history within our languages, very beautiful. Thank you for this informative video Patrick!

İngilizce , Yunanca ve Türkçeye çok hakimsiniz , tek kelime ile bravo !

Liman was my grandmother's family name when she arrived from Turkey (Ottoman Empire) to Brazil. I have far relatives living in Turkey nowadays but now they have Limanoğlu(son of Liman literally) surnames.

Nice video mate ! Αλισβερισι comes from the Ancient Greek word Αλισια - Alysia , mean wondering and interacting around . Μπουζουκι ,comes from the tribe of Βουζυγοι-Vouzygi , first ever Ancient Greeks in Athens to pair Βοες - Oxes to work the soil , and celebrated the end of each labor day , playing the instrument of this Ancient time.

Greece has mostly borrowings from Italian, but they usually pass unnoticed, as they sound Greek (unlike Turkish, which sound "off"). I would suggest a video on Italian borrowings in Greek

Some turkish words my greek grandparents used but are now mostly obsolete are the following: gkizerizo (to be out and about for purposes of enjoyment, not because you have business to attend to), sourtoukeuo, (the same), ntouvari (wall), chales ( toilet), chousmeti ( household chore), mousteris (customer),mouchabeti (idle chit chat), chaberia (news), ntounias (the world, people), ontas (room), and many others I can’t recall right now.

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.

Kalderim comes from the ancient Greek word "Καλλιδρόμιον"(paved street)
