Vocabulary:

ne? [= what?] oluyor [= happening; going on] Present continuous from “olmak” [= to be; to become; to happen] ne oluyor? [= what’s going on?; what’s happening?; what’s up?] Tip: Note that the Turks usually drop out the final “-r” from verbs when they speak. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear “N'oluyo?” instead of the written form “Ne oluyor?”.  sakin ol [= calm down; be quiet; take it easy; relax] Tip: The expression “sakin ol” is made up of the adjective “sakin” [= quiet; calm] + the imperative form of “olmak” [= to be; to become]. birşey [= something; nothing] olmuyor [= not happening; not going on] present continuous tense (negative) from “olmak” [= to be; to become; to happen] siz [= you] This pronoun can refer to a group of people [= all of you] or to epxress the formal “you”. The informal “you” is [= sen]. misiniz? [= Question Particle to form yes/no questions] siz misiniz? [= is it you?; are you?] Tip: Learn how to form (yes/no questions) in Turkish by watching this video: Yes/No Questions in the Present Tense  evet [= yes] kimlik [= identity card (I.D.)] lütfen [= please] tabii [= certainly; sure; of course] buyrun [= here you are] To learn about the different meanings of “buyrun”, read here in an earlier post: Meanings of "Buyrun"
