Kadife is the Turkish word for velvet (“catifea”, în Romanian – you see, our peoples were very close, some centuries ago…). It is also a nickname for my daughter.

What a beautiful child. These images of your daughter are lovely. Interesting about the similarities of language. I once met a Turkish professor who told me that the Hungarian (my father’s family) and Turkish languages share over 400 words. I daresay that similar could be said of ours as well. I am fascinated by language. It reveals so much about a people.

Thanks!
About 3,5% of Romanian vocabulary is of Turkish origin. Examples: coffe – cafea – kahve; box – cutie – kutu; slipper – papuc – papuç…
