386: This place is so beautiful!


Subtitles:

Merhaba.
= Hello.

Gelsene!
= Come in!

Burası ne kadar güzelmiş!
= This place is so beautiful!

Sağ ol.
= Thanks.

Vocabulary:

merhaba [= hello; hi]

gelsene [= come in; why don’t you come in?]
from “gelmek” [= to come]

Language Tip:
[-sene] added to the stem of the verb gets us the equivalent of "Why don't you come?"; "Do come!"; or "Come on!". "Gel" on the other hand is the imperative form meaning [=come!].

burası [= this place; here]

ne kadar güzelmiş [= how beautiful]

Language Tip:
“ne kadar + adjectives” can be used to form exclamations.

sağ ol [= thanks; thank you]

Language Tip:
"Sağol" [lit. =Health to you]. This is the informal way of saying "teşekkürler" or "teşekkür ederim". The root word "sağ" means "healthy; alive" + ol [=imperative from olmak= be], so it is equivalent to saying "stay healthy; be healthy".
  
Extra Phrases:

Why don’t you come inside?
= İçeriye gelsene.

It hurts here.
= Burası acıyor.

What a beautiful spot!
= Ne güzel bir yer!

The sooner, the better.
= Ne kadar erken o kadar iyi.

What a small world!
= Dünya ne kadar küçük!
Video is from the Turkish Movie "Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever"
English Title: “Love likes coincidences
