Common Words in English and Turkish

Practical Glossary for Turkish Learners with Audio

This English–Turkish glossary highlights common words that look familiar in both languages but differ in meaning or usage. Some Turkish words appear only in a specific meaning or word class. For example, English accent is used in Turkish only as the noun aksan, not as a verb; and acid corresponds only to the noun asit, not to an adjective. You’ll also find “false friends” —  words that sound similar but have different meanings. For instance, pasta in Turkish means “cake,” not “pasta.” Check the glossary to see which word Turkish uses for English pasta.

​

The list is built from 3,000 essential English words commonly used by learners. Seeing and hearing these words once is often enough to add them to your active vocabulary. This glossary helps you learn faster and build confidence in Turkish.
