The word yoghurt is the original Turkish word.
but Turkish don´t pronounce gh anymore.
@@juandiegovalverde1982 You are right, we write yogurt, the letter g is written in 2 different ways and when we read it, we say it with a different sound. It is very difficult for me to explain this in this environment because you need to hear that sound. If you find a Turk, ask him and he will explain it to you.
@@juandiegovalverde1982 We do. However foreigners can't hear it. It is a myth that "ğ" is silent. It is not. It has its own sound, somewhere around a "ooh" and "v" and tonally very silent, but the best approximation for foreigners is to elongate the preceeding vovel.
The original was yoğurt, which was changed to yoghurt so Americans could pronounce it.
And harita is from Greek hartis/harta
Turkish - Japanese - Korean - Finnish - Hungarian meeting should be also done which would be definitely interesting.
And Estonian too a nice idea.👍

An also Mongolian we can add this gang.
Every of these languages has nothing in common expect they all are agglutinative like many languages in the world (Tamil, Telugu, Maori, Malagasy, Indonesian, Inuit, Circassian, Guarani and etc.)

Etymologically, "yoğurt" is a Turkish word where "harita" is Greek :-)
I think editors choose these Words in purpose for participants can understand easily.
Yogurt comes from the ancient Greek word ygiatros which means the food of health. Of course the internet doesn't mention this because computers don't know ancient Greek.
The word “harita” is an arabic word …

andrea mentioned that turkish sounds fast, but oliviane was actually speaking slowly 😂
oliviane would be considered an introvert/shy person in turkey, vast majority is super hyped up and speak really fast, and lots of hand gestures. oliviane feels more hungarian than turkish to be honest, she's fluent and knows some of the culture but she'd defo represent hungary better, i believe.

0:40 Greek does not come from Latin. Common knowledge lol. If anything, Greek posed a great influence on the creation of Latin languages
On the development of latin language, not exactly the creation. The language already existed before latins came along with greeks. Also they are all indoeuropean, probably there are even some similar basic words
Don't be ridiculous, don't link everything to Greek culture. Ancient Anatolian civilizations, Hittites, Iranian and Indian origin.
The latin language is based on an ancient greek dialect called halkidiki that came to sicily from the 2nd Greek colonization. Also the Anatolian civilizations were Greek tribes like the Ionians
@@ionaskanellopoulos5477 latin come from Latium, people arrived from Villanovians, a branch of indoeuropeans. It is not like everything comes from Greek. Greek people themself took a lot from Minoan civilization, which is not even indoeuropean, neither their language has ever been translated so far…
@@andevien2542 I agree with you totally we as greeks tend to think that we are special but in reality we are a bunch of idiots that can't even handle an economy
Everytime I hear Turkish on here it feels so familiar, though I understand almost nothing. I guess that's because there are so many turkish people living in Germany and especially because my parents neighbours are turkish and I have been hearing them talking turkish in the garden right next to us all my life. I really like hearing it. It kinda feels a bit like home to me, which is kind of weird not understanding a word. 😅
There are Turks and their families there, whom Germany hired as workers 40-50 years ago. Generally their education and culture levels are low. I don't even think they speak Turkish properly or good. that is why many Germans are very surprised to see the kind of Turks who are not there.
theres so many turkish immigrants in germany i was on vacation once and got shocked at how many turks i saw on the daily
@@mergenhan2053 I don't think you can say their education level is low in general. There are turks of all education levels in Germany. Of course their culture is influenced by german culture. Most young turkish people were born in Germany, but they still identify as turkish and hold on to their culture as their parents teached them. I think that's great It's an cultural enrichment and absolutely fine if they identify as both turkish an german. Btw I can't say there was a lot that surprised when I visted Turkey.
There are lots of accents in Turkey. Black sea region, Muğla, Adana, Çorum, Diyarbakır, Kayseri Tekirdağ and N. Cyprus all cities have accents and some special words. Germany citizens Turkish also very very accented. 2 other accents are germanic and balkanic Turkish accents. Bulgarian and Deutsch natives are surprised when they hear İstanbul Turkish. It is like north south Germany and Austrrian Switz Deutsch difference.
@@nevermind3520That’s the whole point dude. Turks who immigrated 40 years ago, keep their religious culture. Education level of them are pretty low. They are particularly from specific villages of inner anatolia where it’s been called the most religious region. On the other hand, in last ten years, Western Europe is meeting with new Turks who are much more liberal, most closely to European culture, particularly non-believer. That’s why there are two kind of Turks. It’s because of over time, Turks in Turkiye had became more and more liberal but meanwhile ones in Germany tried to preserve their culture so they are still in same mindset as Turks who is today 90 years old in Turkiye.

01:57 Her face says it all! 😂 Are they kidding me? The first word "Yoghurt" is of Turkish origin and you ask a Turkish girl how it’s spelled? It should be spelled in the only correct and original Turkish way all over the world…😉
participants really had to use words that were essentially in their own language harita is also not Turkic. carte means hard cartoon paper in latino, Kharita is map in Assyrian,
Yeah harita isn't a Turkish word because it is not following the Turkish sound harmony rule. In a Turkish word a and i sounds can't be together. It shows that it is a loan word. Voice or sound, I might used wrong word to describe.
@@linuxsever5727 They even said that, they said "it sounds like Japanese" ie realising it doesn't sound Turkish. Funny how the producers of this channel seem to select words complete on random. They should search for specific words for that language, rather than loanwords (unless that is what they're trying to show, that loanwords exist in all languages and are the same throughout big groups of languages, but doesn't seem like that).
@@thespankmyfrank Turkish (Turkey language) is containing too many loan words. Probably we have more loan words than our own words. Too many Arabic, Persian, French words. Our Latin words mostly borrowed from French. Because of words our language can look like Arabic or Persian. But our grammar is too different than those languages. Our languages is a suffixes language. We add suffixes to make words.
@@thespankmyfrank ı think they choose export import borrowed Words so that participants can guess easyly.
Andrea has a point, actually. For whatever reason, Greek sounds like someone speaking Gibberish in Spanish (Spain Spanish in particular). I once heard Greek people speaking at an airport, and I thought they were speaking Spanish until I got closer and realised I didn’t understand a thing lol. I’m sure it’s the same for Greeks when hearing Spain Spanish too. Lots of “th” sounds too.
It goes both ways, to a Greek person, spoken Spanish feels like a Greek person with a stroke
@@georgios_5342 That’s what I’ve been told! lol I like that
I think it is fair to say that all the Greeks have the same impression of the Spanish language. Also, when Spaniards speak English it's like Greeks speak in English. 💗
Indeed! I'm Greek, and the first time I heard Spanish as a kid, I was so confused.
Oftentimes, when I'm abroad and people hear me speak Greek, they ask me if I'm Spanish. So I guess that the languages sound similar to the untrained ear.
As a Bulgarian 🇧🇬 I understood Greek and Turkish perfectly. (I just have been learning these languages for years. 😅😅 Our languages aren't really mutually intelligible even tho we use many Turkish words in Bulgarian and there are Greek words in all world languages.) But I think the participants did a great job. They understood more than I expected. I'm really glad you included 2 of my most favourite languages in the world! 🇬🇷🇹🇷 Btw I don't agree that Turks don't conjugate the verbs. 🤔 I don't want to pretend that I know more than a native speaker but let's take the verb "gitmek" as an example: Ben gidiyorum - I'm going Sen gidiyorsun - You're going O gidiyor - He/she/it is going Biz gidiyoruz - We're going Siz gidiyorsunuz - You're going Onlar gidiyor(lar) - They're going Obviously, the Turkish verbs are being conjugated. I think Oliviane got confused because Turkish is an agglutinative language and if there is more than one verb in the sentence usually only one of them will be conjugated and the other verbs will be in infinitive or something else. Like for example: I want to go. - Gitmek istiyorum. - Only the verb "istemek" (to want) is being conjugated while "gitmek" (to go) is used in infinitive. But still that doesn't mean that verbs in Turkish aren't being conjugated at all! Anywaysssssss. Great video. My inner language geek needed to explain all of this. 😅
@@Urunayiitoyon dude don't confuse him, turkish grammar is too hard. he doesn't have to be perfect. even we are not perfect with it.
Turkish verbs are conjugated as well. However, ours is different than Indo-European languages. We don't change the root part of a verb, although the root part changes in Indo-European languages while conjugating. Instead, we put suffixes at the end of the verb. Probably, she meant that. For example, git ( to go) is a verb. As you can see above, the root part doesn't change. It's always git+ tense suffixes+ personal pronoun suffixes. (T becomes d sometimes, it doesn't mean the verb changed. It's another rule and really complicated to explain)
@@Urunayiitoyonis this you are taught in school? isn't adding the suffixes to verbs called 'conjugation'? so what do you call it?
@@podobnozycietakiejestnasie7166 yeah yeah thats true, you are right about that. Thats conjugation. I tried to tell something else. Forget about it.
Güzel açıklamışsınız 😊 Türk arkadaş neden aksini söyledi bilmiyorum ama Türkçe sondan eklemeli bir dil ve dolayısıyla fiiller de çekimleniyor. (Not: İngilizce yazmaya üşendim 😂 )
Funnily, yoğurt is a Turkish loanword in all those other languages including Greek. The reaction was funny 😅
Funnily enough, "Yogurt" is pure Greek word and edible which was used since ancient times. Homer himself describes it and uses the word "Ygiatro". (Hygiene & Eating). In any case, stop breaking our balls about one word. I'd be willing to let the word go, but you can't be trusted. You'll find another food you'll be breaking our balls for. The West wouldn't trust it if it was Turkish, that's why it worked so good worldwide, because they know it as Greek edible.
Turkish deserves one video , it had been before , but was among Arabic and it's totally different from arabic for me , since it's a not from the same family , i'm surprised with Greece 😊
Yes you are right. Arabic and Turkish are completely different languages. There are some loanwords but the languages are different.
Turkish was in the video among arabs because of turkey being in the middle east. But yes turkish is actually competely different from arabic by all means. Other than some loan words, there're almost no similarities between the two
Actually Turkish is closer to Arabic than the languages here.. lol because of many loanwords of Arabic in Turkish
Yes, we all mentioned the loanwords. But words do not make one language closer to another. Actually, all the other languages are closer to Arabic than Turkish. Turkish is close to the other Turkic languages and some other languages such as Japanese, Korean, Hungarian, and Finnish.@@Ahmed-pf3lg
Out of all these languages, Turkish closest language is Arabic. because of the loan words. this is a fact you have to accept. Arabic influenced your weak language too much. lol @@skyblader

Yes, our real brothers. We don't belong with the Europeans.
As a Greek speaker, Greek is quite different from every European language,since it is not a part of any Germanic, Slavic, or romance language family. Thus the grammar and vocabulary are not similar to any other European language. So no matter what your mother tongue is, you will find Greek a bit challenging to learn because of that. It does sound like Spanish, but it is just because of all the long ee's, and heavy amount of vowels that Greek uses, and not because of any Spanish influence.
I'm a crazy German who learned Greek and yes, it's definitely a challenge, but it's totally worth it (Είναι η πιο όμορφη γλώσσα που έχω μάθει και έχει τόσα στρώματα από την αρχαιότητα μέχρι σήμερα που χάνεσαι στον πλούτο της❤)

The greek girl spoke slowly on purpose. If she had to speak normally like greeks do in a conversation they wouldn't understant a single word. Probably not even philology 😄
People of all languages speak faster than what is the "correct" speed and "underpronounce" some words if they expect they can get away with it without breaking communication, such as when speaking to fellow native speakers whom they expect to be fluent enough to follow even when words are getting quasi-butchered for the sake of speed.
At least they should try to since they have to do with people that do not speak their language
Ποντίκι (Pontíki) it's the mouse and rat is Αρουραίους (Arourèos). ❤🇬🇷
also ponçik in Turkish means 'cute'. It's out of context but i think that mouse is a like cute version of rat.
This is a very nice grouping. Starting to feel like I wouldn't be totally lost in Italy. The spelling is what would totally throw us off in the West with Greek, you can't get any kind of a hint off of that. What was really funny for me was when Andrea's word was "crema", I knew it was cream, but I was thinking of it spelled "creme", like Germans spell it. It's that French phrase "Creme de la creme.", for the best of the best. You will see it spelled both ways in the US.

Yeah Greek and Turkish are totally different languages but from the words we share it is possible to understand one another on a basic level. Ive visited istanbul and i found that my Greek were much more useful than my english lol.
Must be a Serbian. There are many Turk words in Serbian
We've always exchanged words, Greeks and Turkish people. I'm from Crete and the cretan dialect has many turkish words, whenever my father sees my aunt, he calls her abla, hahaha
1:40 Actually, in Turkish we do conjugate the verbs by adding suffixes. In fact, for each subject conjugation changes. For exemple, "Koşmak" (to run) is conjugated like this : Ben koşarım. ( I run.) Sen koşarsın. (You run.) O koşar. (She/He/It runs) Biz koşarız. (We run.) Siz koşarsınız. (You run.) Onlar koşarlar. (They run.)
It is not necessary to use the pronauns in Turkish. Only "koşarım" is enough instead of "ben koşarım"

Greek is the oldest living language on the planet and such a huge grammar. Many words with greek roots are found in many languages on the planet.(Among other things, the Greeks are also the inventors of Latin!).
True
Greeks we re not the inveters of Latin. Greeks like Livius Andronicus helped in developing Latin
@@aokiaoki4238 Specifically, the ancient Arcadians were the ones who gave the Latin alphabet to the Latins from the time of its first kings, who colonized Italy. These ancestors of the Arcadians gave the name "Italy" to the country and they were the ones who also created Rome(and not only that), we don't need to mention now the hundreds of cities and villages in Italy that have Greek names. (Read some ancient texts).
@@thedrivefields The Euboean alphabet was used in the cities of Eretria and Chalcis and in related colonies in southern Italy, notably in Cumae and in Pithecusae. It was through this variant that the Greek alphabet was transmitted to Italy, where it gave rise to the Old Italic alphabets, including Etruscan and ultimately the Latin alphabet. Some of the distinctive features of the Latin as compared to the standard Greek script are already present in the Euboean model.[35
Not the oldest, but we're pretty damn close to it.

Spanish and Greek have different words, but a lot of the same sounds. I can understand why Andrea feels that Greek would be an easy language to "imitate" for a Spaniard.
For Greeks is more easy, they are familiar with latin alphabet, and spanish grammar is way easier than greek
Spanish is very easy for Greeks. A Greek needs like 5 years for the first English certificate and only one year for the Spanish one
I understand Spanish only by watching Spanish series, I don't think Spanish people could understand Greek language in the same way, it's to difficult ❤
I am Greek and my ex was Spanish, once she learned the alphabet she could communicate and read in Greek better than my British teacher who has been in Greece for nearly 20 years. And yeah I learned Spanish by myself with a few online classes in almost a year. Spanish is so pleasant to the Greek ears along with Italian which sounds like singing.. English on the other hand is difficult to pronounce and sounds "arrogant" it´s hard to explain
We actually share A LOT of words as well! 😂👍🏻
linguistics is such an interesting thing and i love seeing their reactions
I don’t know why, but Greek language 🇬🇷 pronunciation has always sounded similar to Spanish language pronunciation 🇪🇸 to me 😅😅; btw, I ❤ Greece 🇬🇷!! 🤗
You're not the only one who had noted this. Btw, there's a video from Langfocus channel showing phonetical similarities between Greek and Spanish. It's interesting.
There were some Greek stablishments way before the Romans arrived in the Iberian Peninsula and with that some people spoke Greek and also Latin was so influenced from classical Greek so even thouhg in Spain people started to speak Latin, there was a huge influence behind it of Greek and with time Spanish appeared with influence of Latin, Greek and even Arab vocabulary
Spanish sounds similar to us Greeks as well but i bet that its much easier for us to learn spanish than for soaniards to learn greek
Spanish also came from Latin.Latin came from Greek.It is logical to sound the same.West civilization speaks Greek and doesn't know it...

Sophia is back, welcome to the greek lady, very nice.
Μπλε (bleh) unfortunately is the word now commonly used for 'blue' in Greek but is hardly Greek in derivation nor even pronunciation. Γαλανο (galano) or even κυανο (kyano) are far more preferable in my opinion and so much prettier and ... Greek. Incidentally the Greek word for rat is αρουραιος (arouraeos); ποντικι (pontiki) is actually mouse. BTW - in Greek cat is generally η γατα (in feminine gender) but we can also use ο γατος (masculine gender). Turkish is a little out of place here amongst Indo-European languages. Another episode with Turkish, Hungarian and Finnish (and Estonian) would be more logical.
In Spanish we have cian, which is a type of blue and it comes from the Greek word (kyano).
Finnish does have similar grammar but not much cognates. so it would be hard to find any words that sounds similar. Hungarian has some Turkic words though. maybe Turkic, Mongolian and some Manchu would be nice.
Although "μπλε" and "γαλάζιο" might both be loosely translated as "blue" in English, it's worth to note for foreigners that, for speakers of Greek, they don't actually refer to the same shade of blue; they are almost considered distinct colors in our minds.
Yes , Harita is also not a Turkish word. Yoğurt is also not German. in this video , participants really had to use words that were essentially in their own language
@@macegre in Russian there is also two colors of blue, dark and light.
The Turkish girl is so gorgeous
The Greek girl looks like my aunt & I’m Turkish 🤔😅 🇹🇷❤🇬🇷

This group had a really nice dynamic. :) I do no really understand the video title though. There was one Greek language in there and the other ones were completely different languages.
The Italian and the Turkish girl are gorgeous.
Awesome video...Congrats !!!
Great video! Would love to see more videos like this. Beautiful countries with cool languages.
More greek n turkish plzzzz
What a great group of pleasant girls, everyone is so authentic, no pose at all, just chilling and having fun.
I would love to see another one excatly the same as round 2
Μαίρη is so nice and polite. Good to see her represent greeks♡ Hope to see her again in the future
As a Turkish most distance one is Greek to me. that’s my mother’s third language but as hell hard to me. Ayrıca en güzelleri de Ankaralı Oliviane 😎 🇹🇷
Distant?! 1/4 of modern Greek are Turkish loan words
@@yiorgosr2No they are not! 🤡

turkish words and alphabet is Arabic, 🙂and food
It's funny how many words we have in common, but there is no chance at all to understand one each other.
This video just reminds me just big of a game changer the fact that English emerged as a universal lingua franca really is. Speakers of five different languages, and they can all communicate because of a separate language none of them are native speakers of.
Loved it ❤
There's a lot of greek origin words in Portuguese but I didn't understand a thing of what she said
The way she said "yogurt" in greek sounds like i say in portuguese
Interestingly, there's a shade or purple in french called "mauve". Wonder if that's the same etymology...
Turkish girl looks so pretty
It evolved from the Old Turkish word yoġrut, “solidified milk product”. This word is derived from the Old Turkish verb yoġur- “to swell, to thicken” with the Old Turkish suffix +Ut.
Why didn't you introduce the Turkish girl? There is discrimination.
The Spanish girl seems to have a really good style and character.
She is from Mallorca, so she is a Mallorqui. It's a different culture than in Spain. Their language is actually Mallorqui, a dialect of Catalan. But the people there also speak Spanish
I had no idea she's from Germany!@@inotoni6148
@@inotoni6148Man, she is spanish, period.
@@inotoni6148 Cultura diferentes son todas, pero tenemos mucho mas en común que diferencias eso es una obviedad yo (Andaluz) tengo una cultura muy diferente a la de cualquier manchego, o gallego pero luego tengo mucho mas en común con ellos que con un francés, no es algo diferente como tu dices, porque eso nos pasa a nosotros los españoles y les pasa a absolutamente todos los paises grandes del mundo, y para terminar España es bastante mas homogeneo de lo que la gente dice ser, las diferencias no son en absoluto grandes.

Actually, by chance, most of the words that have been chosen, in Greek that is my native language, are loans. Yoghurt is a loan from the Turkish language and there is no alternative word. Gatta is also a loan from Venetian language, and we took it from Venetian merchants. Until then, the ancient Greek word was "Gali", with a soft g (Γαλή). Cream comes from the ancient Greek word "Chrisma" (χρήσμα), that had become crema in Italian, and we took it back as and anti-loan. "Ble" (μπλε) is a loan from French bleu. Originally, the Greek word was "cyanos" (κυανός), like the words cyanium. Turkish "harita" is coming from the ancient Greek "Harta" (χάρτα), and has the same root with card etc. Conoscere is very similar with the ancient Greek verb gignosco with the same meaning. Our Indo-European common past, I suppose. I also understood every part of Turkish, because I went to a school for Turkish for 2 years. Türkıye'yi çok seviyorum!

In new Greek the mouse is pontiki (ποντίκι), in ancient greek it was mus or mous (μυς). That is maybe closer to the english mouse. Also in new greek the official word for mouse poisons, we call them muoktona (mouse-killer) So we still use the ancent work but in combined words.

Is a indoeruropean language
Their vibes are so different
I love this channel, it's very interesting to watch videos where different kinds of languages are compared! :) One thing I noticed though, which as a Romanian I think is too bad, is that in all these videos of yours regarding European languages, no one has included the Romanian language. The same is valid for Bulgarian and the Baltic languages as well. It would be nice if these languages could be included in your videos too! Romanian, as a Romance language, could for instance be included in the Romance language comparison videos you make and Bulgarian, as a Slavic language, could for example be included in the Slavic language comparison videos. The Baltic languages could also be included in videos with various themes. Cheers! :)
It's a function of the videos being made in S. Korea. I'm sure if they come across anyone that speaks Romanian or Bulgarian in S. Korea, and they're willing to participate, they will have them in a video. Same with Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc. It's not purposefully biased: It's just that there are English, Spanish, German, and French speakers everywhere.
@@EddieReischl I guess you're right, hopefully they'll find participants of these languages! :)
Turkish belongs to the Ural-Altaic language family. It is not possible for us to understand those speaking here. The table where our olive girl should be is the people living in Central Asia and the north of Russia. I would like to see a video where the people we call Turan come together, these are very foreign people to us.
Andrea!!! siempre bueno verte!!
Accutally Spanish and Italian came from the same language family. Both of two speakers can understand more easily each other. Turkish is a different language to the proto Indian-Europe languages.
Turkish is different language than arab or europians its Turkic language in group with korea japan ,Stan countries hungary in europe . Grek is aslo very dificult different from euros
The Koreans and the Japanese arent Turkic as far as im concerned and their languages are completely different. I think the easternmost turkic population are the Uyghurs of China
Its spelled Greek* not Grek. Europe is a Greek Word. There are many Greek words in all languages but especially in European Languages! But it still remains unique! 👍🏻
Btw Turkish girl speaked so clear and slow 😅
If anyone is curious about the bad word in Italy, katze has the similar sound of the word "cazzo" which means dick. 😅
My favourite is the Italian word "cozze" (mussels/Miesmuscheln), which sounds like the German word "Kotze" (vomit/vomitare) 😂
Thank you!!!
Thanks for your vídeo. Spanish VS Dariya please
How could the Greek lady be so sweet? from Iran with love 😍
FINALLY YOU PUT A LITTLE BIT OF GREECE
I like this a lot. German I understand sort of, they are my neighbours (I'm Dutch) and I am learning Greek, but I can read it better than talking, the hearing part is for me a big nope. My friend Katerina (from Crete) is trying to teach me and she even talks very slowly, but it is so difficult.
Re BTW - in Greek cat is generally η γατα (in feminine gender) but we can also use ο γατος (masculine gender). Cat in Ancient Greek is Ailouros , cat is derived from Africa
Turkish girls are very beautiful
For the sake of olivianes loneliness you guys should do a turkic one kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan uzbekistan azerbaijan uyghur?

Charter, cartha and harita have the same Greek origin. χártis χάρτης means rolled paper or papirus i think.
Charta Latin Word means Hard paper also Kharita xarita asyrian Süryani. Not Turkic yes. Yoghurt is not Deutsch. Word choises are in purpose: Editors choose words exported imported already for easy guessing. Think a Word in Greek not exported to other langs. So players participants would not guess then. I still Wonder how map owner languages speakers could guess correctly.
