kolay gelsin

 [coal-eye ghel-sin] int.

Hi, I hope whatever you’re working on is going alright and isn’t too difficult

DT: may it come easy

This phrase is used primarily when you encounter someone working. Yes, any time you walk up to or pass someone doing something you know or don’t, you can say “kolay gelsin,” and it shows empathy and appreciation. Don’t worry, the conversation won’t begin with a stranger – they’ll likely reply with a simple “sağol” and you’ll go on with your day.
