As far I know words that don´t have vowel harmony (fakir, kitap) and/or double consonants (dükkan), or double vowels (þiir), could most likely be classified as from arab origin
The most commonly used word I encountered was yani (in other words), which in arabic is pronounced
exactly the same ( يعني having a meaning of: ´it means´

As a learner, I agree with ZL that a lot of words with double vowels, and no vowel harmony have a Persian or Arabic background, but the languages are different.

I want to say something.. It´s many accents in the arabic language example in the iraqi-accent there are many turkish words which is not in the real arabic.. so turkish people can understand Iraqi-speaking human better than a lebanese-speaking human.

Hmm... an Iraqi-Arabic speaking human.
I wonder how is it for Turks to understand Iraqi non-humans like cats, dogs or terrorists

I wonder how could you put cats and dogs into the same category as terrorists!

They all belong to the non-human category that´s a scientific fact, you can however subdivide them into fluffy and cute non-humans and crazy explosive non-humans

Many words in common, about 6000 arabic word in the Turkish vocabulary
Also many grammar concepts and rules in common, if you know Arabic it would be more easier for you to learn Turkish, and i assume its the same other way around as its same in Arabic too, many Turkish words and same for grammar.
There are some differences ´specially sentence order´ but when you understand the concept, i guess/believe you can take a good grip of the language if you give it the enough time .
