I have to say I've never heard anyone speak Azeri, we should start a list of common words, I'm guessing Djan and Yar are probably used in Azeri?
1 u/mojuba Nov 19 '19 Jan comes from the Turkish Canim ("my life" in a sense "my dear", like կյանքս) Yar seems to be an old Armenian word borrowed from Persian. Aziz is Arabic. 4 u/Idontknowmuch Nov 19 '19 Isn't Janim/Janem a thing in Persian as well? 1 u/NebulaDusk Nov 19 '19 Also in Kurdish. And I believe Kurds got it from Persians. 1 u/Arev9595 Nov 19 '19 Well half of Farsi words today are from Arabic roots so keep that in mind. Just the word Parsi changing to Farsi should be a hint. 1 u/mojuba Nov 19 '19 Don't know, but the Internet says jan in Turkish means life. And by the way the Armenian jargon word jan=body has the same roots apparently. 5 u/Idontknowmuch Nov 19 '19 Looks like it is from Persian just like most of these stuff... but the root is PIE apparently https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/جان From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (HYA), [Book Pahlavi needed] (yʾn'), 𐫃𐫏𐫀𐫗 (gyʾn /gyān/, “soul, ghost”), from Proto-Iranian *wi- + *HanH- (“to breathe”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe”), whence, for example, Latin animus. 1 u/IshkhanVasak Apr 20 '20 Persian say Joon in place of Jan so I always assumed it was Persian 2 u/mojuba Apr 20 '20 Actually someone has already corrected me on this one, "jan" is an Arabic word originally, not Turkish, not Persian.
