Ways to tell them apart:
- Bazaar refers to a market, typically in the Middle East or South Asia, indicating a place where goods are bought and sold.
- Bizarre describes something very strange or unusual, it conveys an odd or eccentric quality.
- The word bazaar originates from the Persian word bāzār, indicating its cultural association with marketplaces in the eastern world.
- The word bizarre comes from the French word bizarre, which also means unusual or strange, hinting at its European linguistic roots.
- You can remember bazaar with the double as because it often involves buying and you might bargain for the amount. Remember bizarre has that r at the end which hints at queer, another word for strange.
