Today our linguistics teacher explained that Ag and Gara both meant Big, "To go up" in Ancient Turkish.
For example Agac - A tree, is from 2 words - Agmak (to get bigger) and Acmak (to want), which means to want to get bigger.
As you know All words in Turkic are from Verb.
My surname is Garayev, actually yev is a russian suffic, so it is Gara, which means big)))

Dear Nijat, your linguistics teacher might be wrong because in Old Turkic, "tree" was Ïġač (Yghach, Igaç), not Aġač (Aghach, Ağaç), and it's root word is Ï (I, ı) which means "plantation, forest". You can check Annamarie von Gabain's dictionary for that Plus, White and Black are Aq and Qara, the Q being a Hard K (qâf ﻖ in Arabic alphabet); it was only in the local dialects and accents of Western Turkic when the Q turns into a Hard G (ghain ﻍ in Arabic alphabet). In today's Azeri, the letter Q is pronounced like Hard G (Ġ / ġ), like in Persian (in Classical Persian, the letter Q was probably pronounced as Hard K but later it turned into Hard G; today, the letters qâf and ghain do not have a difference in pronunciation in Persian). In local dialects and accents in Turkey, the sound Hard K does not exist mostly, and it is either Hard G (Ġ / ġ) or Frictional H (Ḫ / ḫ, kh [khâh ﺥ in Arabic alphabet]). Feramez, Nijat is an Azeri Turk.

Hmm, I didnt know that tree was Igac. Well, my teacher also said Etruscans and Saminites were Turks ))))))) So one can guess right away his view point.
Yes, I am an Azerbainjani Turk.

apparently, according to latest genetcial tests, the Etruscans were not native to the appenine peninsula, though they were most likely still not related to Turks...

The Etruscans have nothing to do with the Turkic peoples indeed.

Hmm, Hungarian sárga and kék look similar to the Turko-Mongol versions.

Hmm, Hungarian sárga and kék look similar to the Turko-Mongol versions. That's because they're loanwords from Turkic.

Yes, definitially. I wnder why the Magyars picked some words but did not take common words like Aq and Qara.

But why say "pink-blue" for "turquoise", isn't turquoise a mixture of green and light-blue?
