Questions & Answers about Aman, boş ver o rezaleti.
What does aman add to the sentence?
Aman is an interjection. It does not change the basic grammar; it adds emotion and attitude.
In this sentence, it gives a feeling like:
- oh, come on
- for heaven’s sake
- ah, never mind
So it makes the whole sentence sound more dismissive, impatient, or trying to move on from the topic.
What exactly is boş ver?
Boş ver is the imperative form of boş vermek, which is a very common Turkish expression.
Even though the parts are literally:
- boş = empty
- vermek = to give
the phrase boş vermek is idiomatic. You should learn it as a whole expression meaning things like:
- let it go
- forget it
- don’t worry about it
- ignore it
So this is not a case where the literal meanings of the individual words help much.
