What locals actually say

Thanks!

Sağ ol!

“Sağ ol” is the warm everyday thanks between equals; “teşekkür ederim” is the polite default. The app picks by the register you set.

It's really beautiful here.

Burası çok güzelmiş.

The “-miş” ending adds the just-discovered nuance Turks use for fresh impressions. Without it the sentence loses its color.

See you later.

Görüşürüz.

One word where English needs three. Turkish packs the we, the seeing, and the future into a single verb.

How much is this?

Bu ne kadar?

Ne kadar is the everyday Turkish way to ask a price, with bu meaning this.

How do I get to the metro?

Metroya nasıl gidebilirim?

The dative ending in metroya marks the destination, while nasıl gidebilirim is a natural way to ask for directions.

Enjoy your meal!

Afiyet olsun!

Afiyet olsun is the customary Turkish phrase said before or during a meal, wishing someone a pleasant meal.

Give my regards to your mother.

Annene selam söyle.

Annene uses the informal possessive and dative endings for to your mother, while selam söyle is the casual way to pass on regards.

It's freezing today.

Bugün hava buz gibi.

Buz gibi literally means like ice and is a colloquial Turkish intensifier for very cold weather.
