Merhaba = hello, we also use s'alam aleikum, but merhaba is more common
Hoşgeldiniz = welcome
Selam = greetings
Hoşçakal = goodbye
Allahısmarladık = farewell, literally translated means "go with God" and is said by the person staying behind, whilst the person going replies with "güle güle", which means as much as "and you stay with God"
iyi sanslar = best wishes
arkadaş = friend
Hoşgeldiniz = welcome
Selam = greetings
Hoşçakal = goodbye
Allahısmarladık = farewell, literally translated means "go with God" and is said by the person staying behind, whilst the person going replies with "güle güle", which means as much as "and you stay with God"
iyi sanslar = best wishes
