Surat means face in Turkish, but in an offensive way.
Mühür means stamp in Turkish, too, but not the stamp you put on a letter, but the kind of stamp you put on a document or something by for example a government agency.
Kinda sounds like it I'd say.
Konmak is "to land" in Turkish, but to land in a sense of a bird's landing. I think a plane landing would be uçak indi but you could use kondu, too, I think, which makes it kinda sound archaic though.

Zabıta, Arabic-derived, is a word for "police" in Turkey though polis is more common. I notice a kind of military police walking around with inzibat on their helmets - a related word.

Yeah, they're called Askeri Inzibat. Military police I think.

Some of these words (the ones I strongly suspect are shakl, surat, and zobet) sound very likely of Arabic origin. What's the direction of loanwords from Arabic in Turkic languages? Did they go from Ottoman Turkish east or did they get adopted simultaneously and independently?

I'm not sure about zobet, but shakl and surat are both Persian words as well, if that is any help.
Also, baba is dad, bahar is spring, and pul is money. Edited by 24karrot on 08 December 2007 at 12:14pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm not quite sure, but I'd guess the word adoption went along independently in the different languages, but it might be that most Arabic and Persian words got adopted when the Turks weren't so far off from each other.

Well, seeing as the Persian empire and its modern speakers occupy Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, all neighbors of Turkic language territories, perhaps not.
Persian has also borrowed significantly from Turkish (and I guess other Turkic languages) and of course Arabic is the language of Islam so as it spread it would influence the languages of the cultures adopting it, and still continues to do so today. 1 person has voted this message useful |
