Borrowed Words
All languages borrow from one another. Many Turkish words are like English ones. Some are obvious, like
| Turkish | English |
| otel | Hotel |
| gitar | Guitar |
| polis | Police |
| taksi | Taxi |
| limon | Lemon |
| televizyon | Television |
| telefon | Telephone |
| radyo | Radio |
Others are a little more subtle. Can you match the correct pairs of Turkish words below with their origin?
