another Turkish - Romanian common words:
çarşaf = cearşaf
palto = palton
raf = palton
romörk = remorca
tarla = tarla, camp [cýmp]
kibrit = chibrit
balta = baltag, bata [býta]
fasulye = fasole
yatağan = iatagan
patron = patron
benzin = benzina
Of course, some of them come from French, English or Arabic..
The idea is that these words we tried to present in this thread have similar pronounciation and they are also written in smiliar way...

I suggest everyone appreciate Mary's help, no matter the origin of the list!!
Let's not make accusations here, Nastica and Bianca.
Mary and anyone else could take the words from an ethimological dictionary !!
I have one home, for example....
This is not a trial, nor a court...
This is a THREAD ABOUT COMMUN WORDS...OK??
SO WE SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE FRIENDS HERE...
NEGATIVE POSTS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE
we are here to learn Turkish....this is the only idea

Deniz,

thank u so much for your words..
u know, my sister-in-law is called Deniz (sea in turkish)
this is a beautiful name

Any time, Azade

the interesting aspect is that, even for many centuries we as people fought, now, in the last century...we never had any problems anymore....
the relationship Turkey-Romania is very very good

Merhaba Azade!
the connection between Turkish and Romanian is easy to see(for Romanians, i mean):
the Ottoman Empire fought many many centuries with Romanians, and not only ...in order to make this country a "pashalic" ..
so...some of the Turks remained here...especially in the Black Sea area and around 200 words used in daily speech entered both languages..

About the connection between Turkish and Asian languages...Turkish and Korean, Hungarian and Finnish, are all coming from the Altai Mountains (that happened lon long time ago)....so...these languages are a bit related

Maria, thank u very much for your beautiful wishes!
I hope you will be very happy also, with your partner.
Maybe we can keep in touch.
I also have a small book in Romanian with words borrowed from other languages, but i have too look for it, if u want, i may put the whole list, but is pretty long hhehe..

Multumesc pentru cuvintele tale si mai ales pentru raspuns,
Oana

Hello, my husband is also Turkish, we married on 5th of February, this year and yes, i was very very surprised to hear words sounding so similar to Romanian, my language..hhee
Mary,
we also say:
bardaca-bardak
bre-bre
caisa-kayısı
musteriu-müşteri
pantalon-pantolon
reclama-reklam
sutien-sutyen
For maidan-meydan (we use it with a bit different sense)
(we took them, as some other words, from Turkish, cos we really have a big community in Constanta and in the area of Black Sea)
i am now learning Turkish...but it is a brainstorming in my head

Numai bine, Oana

Can I ask u who is the singer?

Merhaba, Azade and Maria!
I am also Romanian..U were not out of topic at all...u explained very well the Latin /European issue...
Yes, many Romanians go there in a vacation...cos the country is not far from Ro and it is beautiful..!
But the finantial condtions are generally better in the Latin countries, comparing to some parts of Tk, except the big cities and the resort ones..
so I really don't think the others Europeans need to go to Turkey to "emprove" their lives by marring Turkmen...lol
Latins may get along with Turkish because we have some traits in commun: both temperamental, both loving parties (in Romanian, the word "bairam" comes from Turkish, cos we have a big Turk community at Constanta, at the Black Sea..)
