"Russian is related with Greek"
well sure it is duh they are both indo-european languages like i mean russian is also related with english, german, spanish, iranian, hindi, etc even if distantly related but linguists dont agree that hungarian and turkish are related whatsoever not even distantly but that sentence is way too similar |

"similar sound doesn't = a relationship"
you're missing the point the grammatical structure is exactly the same, down to the agglutination and syntax and everything and its not just words that would be borrowed, i mean words like "small" and "to have" and "very" usually dont get borrowed from other languages, and so... you tell a language's roots by these simple basic words that arent typically borrowed |

no i sorta found it on duolingo... it was a post that said: "My native language is Hungarian, and now I realise, that there are many similarities with the Turkish. For example, a sentence: Cebimde çok küçük elma var - Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van (means: There are a lot of small apples in my pocket.) The pronunciation is almost, but the meaning is exactly the same. Or other similar words: arpa - árpa (barley), balta - balta (ax), kapi - kapu (gate), sakal - szakáll (beard), deve - teve (camel) ...
One third of the territories of Hungary was also occupied by the Ottoman Empire for 150 years, but there are also older connections between the two languages. So Hungarian helps me a lot in Turkish." also here is the grammatical structure...
en: pocket tr: cep hu: zseb
en: my pocket tr: cebim hu: zsebem
en: in my pocket tr: cebimde hu: zsebembe
en: very / a lot tr: çok hu: sok
en: small / little tr: küçük hu: kicsi
en: apple tr: elma hu: alma
en: there is / there are / it exists tr: var hu: van |

i mean you even used the same sentences
A whole sentence can be derived of the similarity between the two languages. "Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van" in Hungarian, would be "Cebimde çok küçük elma var" in Turkish. The linguistic concept of "there is/there are" is represented with a single word (van/var) only in Turkish and Hungarian. The number of similar words are too many to count here, but some examples are sok/çok, kicsi/küçük, alma/elma, balta/balta, kec/keçi (that's me lol!), zsep/cep, ki/kim, szaz/yüz, and thousands of others.

uh, no, he didnt (i just verified its a guy so we can call him he now) hes a native speaker, and tbh he probably just remembered it, not from the yahoo post even, its probably like something that someone who knows both languages just knows, idk i cant explain it |

they were replying to you, and they said kys, and i wasnt there, so how could they be referring to me as "you", if i literally wasnt there. |
