Yağ is an Old Turkish word that means “oil”. It is derived from the Proto-Turkic *yāk- and its cognates in other Turkic languages, such as Uyghur yaq and Azerbaijani yağ. In Old Turkish, it was commonly used to refer to vegetable oils, such as olive oil, sesame oil, and corn oil. It could also refer to animal fats, such as those from sheep or cows. In modern Turkish, the word has come to mean “grease” or “lubricant.

Ya is an Old Turkish word meaning "I". It is a shortened form of the words "yar", meaning "the one", and "an", meaning "I". In Old Turkish, ya was used as an informal way of expressing the first-person singular pronoun. It was typically used in informal conversation, such as between close friends, family members, or peers. Ya was also used in formal contexts, such as in the formal language of letters and official documents. However, in modern Turkish, ya is no longer in use and has been replaced by more formal terms, such as ben.
