About the reference I wonder where this list has been taken from. There isn't any sourced cited in the page.

There is NO WAY that these are the 1000 most common Turkish words

As someone who has pretty much learnt Turkish as a second language - there are not many of us, but anyway - there is NO WAY that these are the 1000 most common Turkish words.

• 445. art = an unused word for 'heel' or 'behind'. As an instruction it could be "increase!".
• 547. malzeme = nothing wrong with that word, other than that there are many more common words that are used in its place.
• 633. süreç = I don't think so, not in the first 1000 most common words.

Then, this collection of ordered words:

• 668. sorumluluk = responsibility. hmm, maybe. Comforably in the second - or fifth - 1000 words, though.
• 669. davranmak = to behave. Not in this form: maybe davranış or davranıyor (behaving)
• 670. mektup = letter (in an envelope). OK
• 671. soğuk = cold. So this is the 671'st word, after davranmak and sorumluluk and süreç. No way.
• 672. canlı = lively. OK, often used for all kinds of things.
• 673. idi = either a very seldom used gramatical pseudo-word, or 'Ox'. Before inek=cow ?!?

also, regarding form, eg #669, while many words are in their (less used) infinitive form X-mak, like davranmak (to behave, to run) other words are not, like çıkar (which, otherwise, is a very rare noun).

• 795. mücadele = conflict. Many other more common words to say this.
• 839. katkı = appendage. In the first 1000 most common words - I don't think so.

also, the words

• 962. kas = muscle
• 963. meclis = parlimentary like meeting (seldom used)
• 964. öteki = the one on the other side
• 965 uğraşmak = to struggle. I don't know; I think that there are more commonly used words for whenever this would be used.

Anyway, these are all before 'tamam == OK', which, believe me, is used all the time.

• 987. sunulmak = to be supposed. Useful word, but not in the first 1000, unfortunately.

Anyway, this is ordered similar to

• 991. geç = past, late
• 992. hareket etmek = to move
• 993. yumurta = egg. Yes, "egg", used everyday by almost everyone, just makes it into the top 1000, after "sunulmak", "mücadele" and "idi"

Finally, on this list, the words have a tendency to be grouped into small groups of related words, for example, the consequative words:

• dışarı
• merkez
• ortam
• yerine
• düzey
• köy

are all, kind of, to do with location
