I think u been "abi" maybe??

to say "efendim Abi" on the phone would be like "yes I´m listening to you brother"

I´m sure Abi is like older brother and Kardeþ is like younger? Correct me if I´m totally wrong as I learn all my turkish from living in the country haha

Almost every word without vowel harmony is arab from origin.

 

For example: fakir, kitab, etc.

tabii  is طبيعي same as in arabic ´tabii´

And originally grammar wise it should be used same as in Turkish

Ýt means naturally.
