Greeks and Turks interacted a lot throughout history, especially under the Ottoman rule in the region that lasted about 4 centuries straight. This led to a longlasting cultural and linguistic exchange between both civilizations.

This video is divided into two parts. In the first one, I give you 15 #Greek words of #Turkish origin, and in the second part, I give you 15 Turkish words that are of Greek origin. You will get 3 extra interesting words if you stick till the end.

Hope you enjoy it!

PS: I don't know why I felt like shifting my accent to a rather British one, with some exceptions here and there. :)
