Questions & Answers about Yeni işin hayırlı olsun; inşallah bir gün sen de bizimle çiftliğe gelirsin.

What does hayırlı olsun mean, and why isn’t a more direct word for congratulations used here?

Hayırlı olsun is a very common Turkish expression used when someone gets something new or enters a new situation, such as a new job, house, car, or marriage.

• hayırlı = beneficial, auspicious, good in a meaningful sense
• olsun = let it be / may it be

So the phrase is closer to May it be good for you than to simple congratulations.

Turkish often prefers this kind of good-wish formula instead of a direct congratulatory phrase. In this sentence, Yeni işin hayırlı olsun is the natural thing to say for Good luck with your new job / Congratulations on your new job.

Why is it işin and not just iş?

İşin means your job.

It is made of:

• iş = job, work
• -in = second person singular possessive suffix, meaning your

So:

• iş = job
• işin = your job

Because the speaker is talking about your new job, Turkish marks that directly on the noun.

Why is it Yeni işin and not something like senin yeni işin?
