English: There are a lot of little apples in my pocket.
Turkish: Cebimde çok küçük elma var.
Hungarian: Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van. |

if you know the phonetic systems of these two languages it just makes seem even more similar i cant get over this |
|
|
turkish:
c is like an english j, like jam
ç is like ch like china
ü is same as german ü
hungarian:
zs is like a french j, or like z in seizure
s is like sh like should
cs is like ch like china

Russian is related with Greek |

"Russian is related with Greek"
well sure it is duh they are both indo-european languages like i mean russian is also related with english, german, spanish, iranian, hindi, etc even if distantly related
but linguists dont agree that hungarian and turkish are related whatsoever not even distantly
but that sentence is way too similar |

they could be, im not a linguistic expert |

"similar sound doesn't = a relationship"
you're missing the point
the grammatical structure is exactly the same, down to the agglutination and syntax and everything
and its not just words that would be borrowed, i mean words like "small" and "to have" and "very" usually dont get borrowed from other languages, and so... you tell a language's roots by these simple basic words that arent typically borrowed |

oh wow, i love how op nearly directly took this post from yahoo answers.

no i sorta found it on duolingo... it was a post that said: "My native language is Hungarian, and now I realise, that there are many similarities with the Turkish. For example, a sentence: Cebimde çok küçük elma var - Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van (means: There are a lot of small apples in my pocket.) The pronunciation is almost, but the meaning is exactly the same. Or other similar words: arpa - árpa (barley), balta - balta (ax), kapi - kapu (gate), sakal - szakáll (beard), deve - teve (camel) ...
One third of the territories of Hungary was also occupied by the Ottoman Empire for 150 years, but there are also older connections between the two languages. So Hungarian helps me a lot in Turkish."
also here is the grammatical structure...
en: pocket
tr: cep
hu: zseb
en: my pocket
tr: cebim
hu: zsebem
en: in my pocket
tr: cebimde
hu: zsebembe
en: very / a lot
tr: çok
hu: sok
en: small / little
tr: küçük
hu: kicsi
en: apple
tr: elma
hu: alma
en: there is / there are / it exists
tr: var
hu: van |

i mean you even used the same sentences
A whole sentence can be derived of the similarity between the two languages. "Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van" in Hungarian, would be "Cebimde çok küçük elma var" in Turkish. The linguistic concept of "there is/there are" is represented with a single word (van/var) only in Turkish and Hungarian. The number of similar words are too many to count here, but some examples are sok/çok, kicsi/küçük, alma/elma, balta/balta, kec/keçi (that's me lol!), zsep/cep, ki/kim, szaz/yüz, and thousands of others.

"sinii i made a "rate me" thread on /b/ with your hotdog pic and everyone told you to kys"

|

"well they copied it from yahoo answers

uh, no, he didnt (i just verified its a guy so we can call him he now)
hes a native speaker, and tbh he probably just remembered it, not from the yahoo post even, its probably like something that someone who knows both languages just knows, idk i cant explain it |
|
|
"no they were referring to the picture because it was ugly af and i told them u were a tranny"
i didnt post it though, you did, and you catfished them, so basically, they told YOU to kys not me |

dont they both derive from latin |
|
|
no they were referring to the picture how stupid are you |
|
|
"no they were referring to the picture how stupid are you"
they were replying to you, and they said kys, and i wasnt there, so how could they be referring to me as "you", if i literally wasnt there. |
|
|
"dont they both derive from latin"
no, these languages have no relation with latin...
these arent indo-european languages |
