The way the Turks do! #2

Or in this case the way they say.

There are many expressions used in the daily life where Allah is included. This doesn't necessarily mean you are religious, it's rather the way we use the expressions like "Oh my god" or "Jesus Christ".

• Allah korusun - May God protect you. Often seen on the back of buses and trucks. Also expressed if someone is explaining something bad that could have happened.
• Allah kolaylik versin - May God make it easy for you. In day-to-day life the expression "Kolay gelsin - may it go smoothly" is often used when entering/leaving a shop or said to someone who is working.
• Allah sağlık versin - May God bring you health
• Allah kabul etsin - May God accept it
• Allah'a emanet ol - Be entrusted in God. Often used when leaving someone.
• Allah göstermesin - God forbid
• Allah bereket versin - May God bring you wealth
• Allah rahatlik versin - May God give you peace. Often used when saying good-night to someone.

There are also expressions of a more punitive character:

• Allah cezanı versin - May God punish you
• Allah kahretsin - Damn it
• Allah belanı versin - Damn you or May God curse you. Often used when a lover leaves you or if someone made a really bad thing to you. This expression is stronger than Allan cezanı versin.

Other common expressions that you will come across are "Allah allah" and "Aman tanrım" which both have the meaning of  "Oh my God".
