English words with Arabic Origins

[arbab1st]

قطن : قوطون بوطون شوطون ، :) ،،، شكرا ، جهد رائع

[TheInfamousCanadian]

Coffee might be an arabic word, they dont know where it really came from. Its suspected the arabs called it coffee cause its some sort of cross word, with legal and alcohol. Like legal alcohol cause alcohol was strickly illegal (still is in some places). But the name may have came from a village in eithopia thats called coffee, but we dont know if it was called coffee because coffee was already there or if it orginated from there. Sorry for grammer im drunk but yea i watched it on a documentry

[ro7ee0]

Except the first two words and coffee, you're wrong. The other words are derived from other languages in both Arabic and English that's why they are look a like.

[Curiousquest2]

[7zime]

If You Can Speak Farsi,You Can Understand All The Languages.Trust me,I Speak More Than 5 languages,But Most of Them Are From Farsi(Persian)Which Is Older Than All The Languages.

[TheLastAbady]

@7zime look up the list for oldest languages in the world arabic is older then the old persian which is not even spoken anymore and sumerian is the oldest language that ever existed not persian

[NaderNA1985]

@7zime are u retarted everyone knows that arabic is older than farsi...u should focous more on ur studies

[leon6266]

sure they are but u r talking about 18century waste of time.

[saud229722ksa]

برقوق وشو .!!!

[guckenberger]

Do all the words in English you mention come from the Arabic words or do they share a common root word, a common ancestor in the darwinian evolution of language?

[DrKMaTaaDoR]

@guckenberger

All of these you heard , are originally arabic Words . 

[shadLEB]

CAMERA comes from Quomra... which means a very small dark room.... i bet u westerns u didn't know that a optical muslim scientist called Ibn el haysam invented the Quomra which was the first strep toward camera

[CHAS1422]

@shadLEB He is also known in AP Physics as Al Hacen. It is said that his treatise on optics was one of the first scientific papers to put a ding in Medeival church authority. His expalnation of the rainbow as a result of refraction made the Noah's Arc narrative, (where the rainbow was a covenant from God), obsolete. Material science displaced religious revelation.

Al Hacen also authored one of the most aggrivating geometric construction problems of all time, the "2 points in a circle".

[HarnesX]

"orange" I think comes from نرنج

[ee7lf]

احلف؟؟

[Jokerz2k]

@LearnArabicWithMaha The arabic word of lime comes from the persian word of lemon - līmūn :)

And aubergine MAY come from arabic

(The name aubergine is from the French, a diminutive of auberge, variant of alberge ‘a kind of peach’ or from the Spanish alberchigo, alverchiga, ‘an apricocke’. It may be also be derived from Catalan albergínia, from Arabic al-baðinjān from Persian bâdenjân, from Sanskrit vātiga-gama) From wikipeida.

But thank you! The rest was very interesting :D

[CHAS1422]

'Admiral' is another loan word. It comes from 'Amir al', it's an english mispronounciation.

great video! thanks for sharing.

[TheDirtyPaki]

If you haven't already, you should list arabic words that come from mesopotamian mythology.

like Ishq from Ishtar and Shams from Šamaš.

[bab08321]

سكر ليمون

[tekerirem]

[TheEmmd]

[coolmemo]

[Klingschor]

What about Persian, Hebrew and Syro-Aramaic loanwords in Arabic, particularly the Qur'an?

A great example of this is the Arabic word firdaws (Paradise), which is derived from the old Persian pairi-daêza.

[ezman212]

How about the Arabic words that they came from English!!! They are thousands. 

[luvmoustapha4ever]

@ezman212 there are NO arabic words derived from english in the original arabic u smart ass

[ZeDeeKay]

@luvmoustapha4ever dumbass, every language evolve

[raniya1234]

lemon not lime= laymoon

[taxi911]

Arabic comes through Hebrew, doesn't it?

And, as much as I like Arabic and all that, I do have to admit - I find these to be coincidences. Unless I can get translations to the Arabic terms.

P.S. I lived in Dubai for 13 years.

[snaforfun]

@taxi911 lol you are just retard . actually not only the words, but the items too. for example , the europeans didnt KNOW the sugar as we know it today until they moved it from Arab land.

so coincidences in your face and a racist never changes even if lived 13 years in Dubai.

[TheMinnoosh]

You have a really weird accent. Where are you from?

[hind1413]

شكراً جزيلاً

[hamlt1]

-شكرا مها

[lvilla2962]

Assassin also comes from Arabic, if I remember correctly a band of killers that used a lot of hashish, called the Hashishi. As far as Mafia, I think the Ottomans invaded Sicily for a while, which is where they got the word from. That is why Maltese, spoken in Malta, has so many arabic words. Cool video, thanks for posting.

[ruhvk225]

assassin also comes from the word hashashen "7shashen"

the assassins were an order of Ismailis under the leadership of hassan alsabah who gave his followers drugs "hashesh" and they believed that he could send them to heaven "under the influence of drugs"

the assassins were so loyal to there leader and they were ready to commit suicide and crimes by there leaders word

[Imyirtshashem]

@ruhvk225 I think that this etymology for the word 'assassin' is popular but it hasn't been questioned at all. Perhaps it came through Arabic though.

In the Theravada Buddhist canon, the language Pali is used exclusively. This dates rather early (in BCE) and the word 'Issāsin' can be found. It means 'archer'.

[arlyns23]

Greetings from North Carolina, USA, you are right about the coffe, it was first found in Euthopia and teh spread in Egypt and Yemen. My father has a coffe plantation in my country Honduras!

[ianbrookable1]

Yes maha, coffee drinking appears in the middle of the fifteenth century, in the Sufi monasteries of the Yemen. Yemeni people were also the first to do the Handshake.

[NF2K]

I don't know why I clicked into this... but it turned out to be cool :)

[hanane1990]

you forget " chemistry" it came from

كيمياء

[panarkas]

Sugar is a Sanskrit word I think. They could be some more of these words that are not originally Arabic.

[MasKDZ]

you forgot the most famuse one is table it come from tawila

[Arabsys]

check this in wikipedia List_of_Arabic_loanwords_in_En­glish

[kikimimi]

There is also the word Kismet, which English borrowed from the Ottoman Turkish word "Qismat". I'm not sure what the exact Arabic word for that is, but I know that I was originally an Arabic word. Although modern Turkish no longer has the strong K or Q sound and replaced it with a K.

[chukwuemeka23456]

Assassin is and an arabic word that came from the word, "Hashshashin" (حشّاشين

[prokop43]

@chukwuemeka23456

is and an arabic. lol.

[naamatt2]

גם בעברית אומרים "סוכר". גם זה הגיע מערבית?

[naamatt2]

גם בעברית אומרים "סוכר". גם זה הגיע מערבית?

[XDSaudiGirl]

Wait, are you sure some of these English words came from Arabic orgins, not Arabic words from English orgins?

[going2sleep]

@XDSaudiGirl Are you serious...And you are Saudi??

[LupusIsABadDiagnosis]

@XDSaudiGirl ...lol. English is a pretty recent language, Arabic is far older, and is far more prone to LOANING words. With Latin, Greek and Hebrew, Arabic is one of the ancient languages all others come from. Something like 50% of English words come directly from French (which took most of its words from Latin or Greek), the rest from Gaelic and other languages (such as italian, latin, greek, arabic). So it's definitely words that come from Arabic and not the other way around.

[xXxSaJeEnxXx]

@LupusIsABadDiagnosis

yes i'm with u

but did u anyone tell u have awesome eyes

veeeeery beautiful eyes keep going , now i'm from ur fans :$

[feveredtongues]

@LupusIsABadDiagnosis Its very simplistic to talk about language in terms of which is "older" because languages are constantly evolving. Both Arabic and English have their first known written inscriptions in the 4th century. English is principally a Germanic language, of the 1st 100 most commonly used words 97% are german in origin. With 57% for the next 1000, 39% for the next 1000 and 36% for all others. I think your confused by the extent of French influence slightly.

[81seriously]

@XDSaudiGirl

Arabic is way older than English.

[TheMarmite09]

@XDSaudiGirl lol because arabic was before english :/

[salloo77yy]

@XDSaudiGirl Arabic is way older than english, so YEAH , it came from arabic.

[salloo77yy]

also, nervous - Narfaza

[DallasLeo33]

Great video! By the way, coffee is from Ethiopia not Arabia.

[muslimatheists]

i know u have good intentions, and u must be proud of these words, and that's OK, but did u know that there is hundreds of hebrew words in the Arabic language?and there r many words from African origins, Kurdish , Turkish, Armenian, Italian, Spanish, and other languages, can u count how many Arabic words come from the English language? radio , computer, television, cinema, canteen of course car parts, brake, steering, puncture, so they contributed much more than the Arabic language ever did

[farrah320]

i cant believe she left out the word "AWESOME" itz pure arabic!

[zomy2008]

@farrah320 ???? your kidding right!!

[brahim119]

You can add this one to your list dear.

Amir al Bahr (means commander of the sea in Arabic)

Amiral (in French)

Admiral (in English)

Almirante (in Spanish)

Ammiraglio (in Italian)

Admiral (in German)

Almirante (in Portugese)

,,etc, etc, etc.

[finnmacaodhain]

I love your culture, you have indeed a great language, without you Europe would have never been so great! I hope for an Arab Renaissance, maybe the political signs are right! Tell me why is your script left-handed?

[Isabella95K]

aubergine is from french

[laughingglad]

monsoon..came from sanskrit word "Mausam" dear..:)

Actually britishers were the first one to coin the term for heavy rainfall in india..So i can say from that arabic loaned some of the words from Sanskrit

[seankof]

I heard the word "earth" was coming from "al arth", but i couldn't find any confirmation any one knows if it does or not ?

[EMC2Documentaries]

@seankof Yes we call planet Earth "Kawkab Al Arth".. i don't have any source but it sounds obvious

[KharaMkhara]

Why dont you habeebty read the Quran if you wanna improve your arabic. :)

امير البحر = اميرال= ادميرال

مكينه = من تمكن مشين

[NewTS1990]

It's known that all languages borrowed words from the Semitic languages like Arabic and Aramaic...

But he pronunciation of the Arabic words is somehow not correct. She is from Lebanon, and Lebanese people don't spell the arabic words correctly. Only people from Jordan and Gulf use the real Arabic dialect with small changes.

[TheKen2942]

@NewTS1990 fuck you , no body speak the real Arabic of Quran , are you crazy ? the gulf speak like shit 

[MrPersianlion]

youre cute but much better if you add some proof in every words you say that came from arab...coz i know that alcohol was invented by razi (Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi) and also algebra come from jabr both came from persia..in the kwarazmi time (Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī) google it plz

[GXunited]

توضيح : غول (بفتح الغين) ما يغول العقل أي يذهبه أطلقه الكيميائيون العرب على نواتج التخمير ومنه أخذ الغربيون كلمة كحول Alcohol.

[TheSuperieur]

LoL no arabic origins it's english origins !!

[ARalazzani]

that is cool..

your arabic accent is very clear, you are arabic girl by origins too. you are very cool.

I wish you tell me what arab country are you from?

I can also say that there are a lot more arabic words that is used in english. e.g camel comes from the arabic word jamel, alogrithem comes from the name of the person who invinted it Alkwarizmi, earth also comes from al-arud in arabic.

thanks

I like what you did and I like your charisma, you are charming.

[hoomoses]

not all the word you had mentioned are Arabic. Some of the words had another origin for example Pahlavi (Persian ancestor language). But who cares? language is just a way of communication and I hope that this video would not be a pride for Arabs or even another human race because of giving words to other human-kind and nations... I do know you didn't mean!

[sakiki777]

Talking about captain or qubtan, for more informations, this word is PHOENICIAN not arabic Phonenicians were the first peoples who saled and invented sailing boats

[Gallowghoul]

the Word Magazine Chemistry and laboratory also come from arabic ^.^

[shbeer182]

Coffee comes from كيف

والبدو مازلو يسموم القهوة "كيف" كأسم مرادف ل"قهوة"

قال الشاعر

صبوا لي من "الكيف" وارهو لي من الدلة***البن الاشقر يداوي الراس فنجاله

[muhammatsu]

Yemenis found coffee in Ethiopia

[codemastersden]

The word eye comes originally from Arabic word عين, and earth comes from Arabic word أرض. There are many other English words such as hello from أهلا و سهلا and paradise from فراديس.

[tototoaaa]

طيب ممكن هذه الكلمات اصلها انجليزي و استخدمها العرب وليس العكس ؟

[MrBounty07]

@tototoaaa

اقرأ عن الثقافه العربيه وتعلم

[jabri11]

@tototoaaa الغة الانجليزية هي نتيجة خليط من اللغات و منها العربية نتيجة اتصال التجار العرب بأوروبا عن طريق الأندلس و مالطا

"Sugar" found its way into English from Arabic, but the corresponding Arabic word was in fact borrowed from Sanskrit, the ancestral language to languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Romani, Sinhala, etc.

[salemwolves]

Hey it's "albaricoque" in Spanish!! Awesome!!

[bigrush2000]

انتي حلوه زي السكر ربي يخليكـ

[markos741]

Silly me. I thought that it came from ΑΛΓΕΒΡΑ (ALGEBRA) which is Greek.

[mehrdadbaradaran1]

Alcohol is arabic but who invent it??of course a persian scientist who called (zackaria razi)

Algebra is arabic but who made it??of course a persian scientist who called (khayam)خيام و زكريا راضيthey wrote their book in arabic because arabs attacket iran and if they wrote it in Farsi they could be killed by some stupid(جاهل) arabs!!nice video and good try!!

[hbnm03]

@mehrdadbaradaran1 Actually alcohol was invented centuries before Razi... the ancient Egyptians invented Beer and the greeks Wine (maybe the Egyptians created wine as well, we are not sure)... It was named something different and finally Razi simply named it something and recorded it but that's it my friend. Also, Al-Khwarizm was a product of Arab education and upbringing as he lived in Baghdad, making his ethnic origin of no importance.

[guitar789]

the older the language, the more has been derived from it into younger languages. its logical part of language development

[khaaaled2007]

Banana too

it was called banan elmouz بنان الموز

and the english took the first word only

[salehs9711]

Wait... i'm an arab but nothing called mafia in arabic before it's created in italy or even in arabic language at all, explain plz.

[Gedankenbaukunst]

@salehs9711 i think it means : people who pass a deal between them

[ArabianAce]

I disagree, most of the words you mentioned are not originally Arabic.

[msamaraie]

[DzFreeSoul]

sorry Maha but Abrictos as you said it is not Barkook but it mean Meshmesh or in arabic :مشمش

[herbaissimo]

@DzFreeSoul

Apricot

[stanstankov2]

this doesn't really mean all these words came from the Arabic language, its just how they sound pronounced in arabic. I bet every language has those words, just different pronunciations.

[criskity]

lute < al oud (a kind of stringed instrument)

[lonelysoul889]

I Like this :)

Great job maha

<3

[german04w]

basically these words are of English origin, have entered different languages and obviously we dont prounce it like English speakers, we have change them in rethem to our languages. We have all the words you mentioned in Farsi which I dont think they are Farsi words but taken from English

[blaetcila5]

@german04w

no, all the words that she mentioned come from arab origins.. in arabic we study the root of every existing word.

English was a dead language you can't really say theyre english words because english derived from alot of other languages.. when arabs used these words english didnt even exist.

alot of farsi words are taken from arabic.. most words come from semetic languages like Arabic,Hebrew and Aramic.

[MarwanZeco]

مبسوطه جدا هههههههههه

Actually Ethiopians (Habeshis) created coffee sister :)

[PaulineRobillard]

@noone123567 that's is correct. But people like to still archievements from each other to look more meaningful.

[Alfonso99n]

Captain comes from the Arabic word "Qubtan" (قبطان)

and Banana comes from the word "Banan Al-Mouz" (بنان الموز)which is used to indicate the plant that has Banana

many English words were derived from Arabic during the Crusades or even in the era were the muslims ruled parts of the Iberian Peninsula

[Arabsys]

Adobe = al taub = brick

[oforia1988]

the word (cover=kafar)in arabic

كفر

[Ryanyarb24]

@oforia1988 Actually the English word "cover" comes from the Anglo-French word "covrir" (the dialect of French spoken after the Norman Conquest of 1066). In turn, "cover" is related to the Latin word "cooperire" which means "to close/to cover". But it is possible "cover" did come from an Arabic word that entered the Romance languages during the 7th Century.

[divyanchris]

Goddess - maha

translate that :)

[ssjd02]

@ Maha

I think The verb 'Cut' also comes from Arabic. Can you confirm?

[LeonardoPolichuth]

very interesting! there is some words that are very similar to portuguese too

[CMJ84]

@LeonardoPolichuth yah coz Arabic language was very powerful in the the medieval era coz Arabs them selves were powerful then.Languages that was influenced by Arabic was English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Persian, Turkish and many more but those are the main ones.thats why we Muslims call those era as the Golden Age..coz we were ahead of any other nations at that time

There is a nice book that I suggest 2 anyone interested in this should read

Moorish Spain..by Richard Fletcher
