I have migraine headaches and keep a headache diary. I see parallels between days with headache and tinnitus.

I don't have a list of such expression handy. But there is one specific feature of Turkish language which I find interesting and really smart.

Check these words:

At, aş, it, us, su, ev, er, te, ot, et, ar, ön, an, in, un, en,

Literally translated: horse, food, dog, intelligence, water, house, man/soldier, far, grass, meat, honor, front, moment (time), shelter/cave, flour, most/width,

Many important aspects of daily was are words as short as possible and have survived thousand years of change and part of modern Turkish language. There are also a large number of 3 letter words for further important things such as ana (mother), soy (ancestry), boy (length/race), toy (young/unexperienced), and (promise).

Although German language is full of great words, the expressions from the post exist in other languages, even in my native tongue Turkish, which belongs to a completely different language family.

However in Germany these expressions are regularly used on TV,press and literature. They have become and are powerful building blocks of a German speakers thoughts, giving them an advantage to think better.
