Totally naive question: isn’t “ Zade” Persian?

Thank you Ibrahim, I am sure you will pick up on a lot of mistakes too, so please correct them when you notice them!

In answer to Ariel's question, yes zade is Persian, but it's also found in Ottoman Turkish. Probably a good third of Ottoman Turkish vocabulary has a Persian origin.
