Turkey has been at the crossroad of multiple cultures and global economic advantage because of its natural geographical location and the Silk Road.

Explanation:

Turkey’s geographic location enabled it to be the bridge between the Western and Eastern parts of the World.  

Ancient civilizations like the Romans, Greek, Arabs, Mongols, Chinese and the Western more often were at crossroads at the peninsular regions between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea which largely comprises of Turkey.  

This region was the center point for many travelers, traders, and people in general which formed the Silk Road (Uzun Yol in the Turkish language). This Silk Road became the confluence of historical, cultural, religious and social events and acted as a great trading route from West to East and connected the Occident region with the Oriental regions.  

The Afghan merchants and Chinese could travel to Europe through Turkey. Since this served as a major conduit of trade and commerce, people from different parts of the world met and exchanged their culture, art, and architecture. Hence, Turkey was at both cultural and economic crossroad.

Turkey has been a crossroad for multiple cultures and an advantage of global economic exchange because of its excellent strategic location.

Explanation:

Turkey's territory has been place where numerous cultures interact and mix for millenniums. From ancient times, lot of different groups of people have been migrating through Turkey, or settling in Turkey. Such examples have been the:

  • Dorric people
  • Indo-Europeans
  • Caucasus people
  • Celtic people
  • Balkan people
  • Mongol people
  • Turkic people
  • Arab people
  • Iranian people
  • Italic people

All of these people have been creating a very mixed and interesting culture in Turkey, as all of them were interacting, mixing, adopting cultural traits from each other. One of the main reasons as to why so many different people have been moving into this territory has been the economic advantage. Turkey is connecting Europe and Asia, and the majority of the trade between these two continents was going through it, so whoever controlled the trade was having huge economic advantage. This trend has continued even in modern times, as Turkey is crucial in the trade between Europe and the Middle East, as well as controlling the Bosphorus, thus controlling trade between the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.

Answer:

here you go :)

Explanation:

Korean and Japanese share a similar system of proximal and distal demonstrative pronouns. They are both topic-prominent, null-subject languages. Both languages extensively utilize turning nouns into verbs via the "to do" helper verbs. They both lack a compulsory distinction of plurality. Korean and the Japonic languages are among the few extant languages in the world with topic markers.

The topic of similarity between the two languages can be politically controversial due to the historical relationship between Japan and Korea, particularly the language policy of Japanese-ruled Korea. Recent population genetic studies reveal that modern Koreans and Japan share as much as a 90 percent overlap in ancestry. The relationship between the languages remains controversial. The Transeurasian hypothesis by Robbeets et al, supported by computational linguistics and archeological evidence, suggests a genealogical link between the Korean and Japanese populations. Korean, Japanese, and Chinese characters are used in Japanese orthography, with the exception of North Korea, where they are used for limited academic, legal, media, stylistic and disambiguation purposes in South Korea today, while eliminated in North Korea.

Japanese and Korean have different native scripts, although a common denominator is the presence of Chinese characters. Japanese doesn't have separate verb forms for attributive verbs, just a predicative verb before a noun. Korean uses distinct conjugations for making attributive verb forms in three tenses. Japanese uses the non-past (present) tense for future events, whereas Korean uses the past tense. The Japanese perfective has two meanings when the stem is an intransitive verb, and it depends on the context.

Some linguists argue that Korean has two tenses (past, present) or four (greater past, past, present, future), and some even argue that Korea has no tense at all but only aspects. The three tense theory is generally accepted but still remains controversial. Japanese has distinct attributiveverb forms for nouns and verbs, but Korean has distinct verb forms to make attributive nouns for verbs. Korean has separate particles for the present perfect and present progressive so their meanings are morphologically different. Japanese's perfective can have two meanings, depending on context; present perfect (e.g. 牾) or the present progressive ( e.g., 走guarded)
