Questions & Answers about Çok şükür herkes iyi.

Why is there no word for is/are in Herkes iyi?

In Turkish, the verb to be is often not stated in the present tense, third person.

So:

• Herkes iyi. = Everyone is fine / well.
• Literally, it looks like Everyone fine.

This is completely normal Turkish.

The missing is/are idea is understood automatically.
If you change the tense, Turkish usually shows it more clearly:

• Herkes iyiydi. = Everyone was fine.
• Herkes iyi olacak. = Everyone will be fine.

So in your sentence, the present-tense to be is just invisible.

What exactly does çok şükür mean, and how is it used?

Çok şükür is a very common expression of relief or gratitude.

It is used when something turned out well, especially after worry or uncertainty.

Common English equivalents include:

• Thank goodness
• Thank God
• Thankfully
• I’m so relieved

Literally:

• çok = very / much
• şükür = thanks / gratitude

But as a full expression, it works idiomatically, not word-for-word.

In Çok şükür herkes iyi, it sets the emotional tone first: relief that everyone is okay.
