Well, Spanish, Portuguese and French have their roots on the same language, thus, the mostly part of common words are Latin rooted words... also there are, of course, words origined in one of these language and spreaded in the others....

hi every one i am arabic and i like turkish language after long prossess of learning turkish i discoverd that there r many words which r largely used in both languages i mean arabic and turkish. i will start give words and decide ,if i can, whts its origion؟ arabic or turkish. i wish every body participate with this idea. many thanks.

this is quite an old topic, but I wanted to say that there are more than 6000 Arabic-originating words in Turkish so counting them one by one is impossible

To call the waiter in a Saudi coffee house, you need to holler "kahveci !"

Unless you know this magic Turkish word, you will sit there without a coffee - until you get blue in the face.

 

PS; Dont tell me "kahve" is an Arabic word; what counts here is the "ci" at the end. Wink
