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?]
