.[gech-mish ol-soon] int.

Get well soon / I hope the situation gets better / I’m glad you’ve recovered / I’m glad that hard thing you went though is over

DT: Let it be in the past

This is most often used to mean “get well soon” but we also use it after a person has already healed. We also don’t just use it for illness but for other events that are difficult, have been difficult, or were difficult. Your friend’s cat is sick? Someone just finished a really challenging exam? Or has chronic back pain? Or just completed their last round of chemo? Or survived a week at their in-laws’? They all deserve a big hearty geçmiş olsun.
