I thought there was no Turkish word for 'be'. Where does that ol come from?
We explained this in the notes. If you have the time, there is a better explanation of it.For the command form of the verb to be, Turkish uses the imperative of the verb olmak, which means to become.

Thank you both! One last question (for now): Where can I find the notes?
If you are using the website, scroll down on the screen where you select the lesson within the skill. They are there. Alternatively, there should be a place that says Tips&Notes in the top left corner while you are taking the lesson itself.

In Turkish there is the verb 'to be' but there are no equivalents of am/is/are. We simply don't use it when saying X is Y or X was Y.

I have no idea where I could say be nice in English, so iyi ol is as obscure in Turkish. (not a native English speaker)
Really? There are many, many situations in which one can say "Be nice." My mother even has a bumper sticker that says it.
It can be said to a person being mean, to little children before they go to school, to pets, and in several other situations.

Actually, "iyi ol" is not a natural Turkish. You won't be hearing this often. "be nice" can be translated into Turkish as "uslu dur", "iyi davran", "kibar davran".

You can say (be nice!, be good!) to children, if you want to them to behave for example.

It is not dark, just very 'dark', i.e. pronounced at the back of the mouth

How is 'be well' being used? Wouldn't "be good" be more suitable/correct
Like in ''get well", the "well" in "be well" is referring to "being healthy", right!?
In combination with "to be"(here: a linking verb) the meaning of "iyi"(as an adjective) it would have the translation "good"(adjective)
That seemed to have been added quite a while ago by a non-native speaker of English on our team. It has been removed :)

I am a native English speaker. My friends say 'be well' and so do I. I've heard other people say 'take care', but 'be well' is more common where I live. I've used this translation in the past and had it accepted, but this time it rejects it.

"Be well" was marked wrong and right "get well"; now "be nice is right"....
