These key expressions were collected thanks to Hussain Eser, a Turkish barber working in Kuwait. He says that Turkish has absorbed words and expressions from all around, French, Arabic, Italian. Turkish is basically a central Asian language derived from the ancient home range of the nomadic and settled Turks in the central and eastern Steppes, as in present Turkestan.
