    Bahadur derives from Mete Khan's nickname Bagatur, Mughals used that title.. It's still in use in Turkish as Bahadır..

    We have the word kalabalik in our language, which is a loan word from Turkish. Do you Turks use it commonly?

    Shawarma is a Turkish word from Çevirme(=turning movement, spinning)(v). it's root comes from an archaic word Çevür(v)..
