Quoting Dilara:


Thank you for checking this ! although I am a bit confused about the sentence " I love latin , arabic and turkish music" because I've got too many different versions hehe and also, I thought when you talk about music, I should use "Arapça" instead of arap and turkçe instead of turk ( isnt it only used for the people?) but of course, you're the native speaker I am just guessing
Çok tesekkurler!



I believe;

When you say Türkçe müzik ([language]+müzik), it means the music in that language. But when you say Türk müziği ([nationality]+müziği), it means the music can be in any language but it has Turkish musical atmosphere(melody or type). For example, rock is not Türk müziği but when you sing a rock song in Turkish, it is Türkçe müzik. It is directly related to the language. But if you use Türk müziği, it is related to the culture/nationality.

If you say "Arapça müziği seviyorum", I understand that you like every music which is in Arabic language (not related to culture, they can be all kind of music but only in Arabic language). But if you say "Arap müziğini seviyorum", I understand that you are interested in Arabic cultural music.

This is not a rule, this is the difference I feel when we use them

Thank you for the insight caliptrix, Actually I wanted to say "Turk Muzigi" because I love not the music in one specific language (in this case turkish) but what the song represents itself to me as a demostration of culture , tradition, sound , etc so from now on I'll say "Turk Muzigi çok severim" instead of "Turkçe"
Gracias
