Abstract

The presents paper sheds light on the Arabic words contained in the Turkish dictionary. The researcher argues that the Turks kept the meaning and pronunciation of some Arabic words because they are closely related to religion. On the other hand, the meaning of some other words are kept with slight change in their pronunciation. There are some Arabic words with quite Turkish meaning. Finally it is worth mentioning that some proverbs and constructions maintained their meanings in the Turkish usage. Conversely some others deviated from their Arabic usage.
