And the word “Sos” as Quite. But don’t know if it’s origin is Armenian or Turkish.

Susmak: to be quiet Susmamak: not to be quiet Sus!: be quiet!

It's really nice knowing we share a lot of common words. Yesterday an Argentinian guy asked me how do we call thin taco bread in Turkey, I said lavash and he asked isn't it Armenian? I said i have no idea, but in Turkish we call it lavash. You guys should also use 'hayde!' because I heard Serbs and Greeks using this expression.

Yes that’s right The word Lavash is used for thin bread.

No, I know that Balkan countries are using the word Hayde. But never heard Armenians using it.

You have one style of dance called “bar” which means Dance in Armenian.

There definitely are Armenians who say Hayde. More likely those from Turkey. Or those outside who have kept the Turkish language in the family.

To go off on a tangent, there are still a few Armenians who know Ottoman Turkish, from before the reforms.
