Text = kahve-house/society = Kahve = coffee and café in the Turkish language. The English words coffee and café both descend from the continental European translingual word root /kafe/, which appears in many European languages with various naturalised spellings, including Italian (caffè); Spanish (café); French (café); German (Kaffee); and others. European awareness of coffee (the plant, its seeds, the beverage made from the seeds, and the shops that sell the beverage) came through Europeans' contact with Turkey, and the Europeans borrowed both the beverage and the word root from the Turks, who in turn borrowed it from the Arabic name 'qhawa'.
