"İyi ki varsın!"

Translation: Fortunately you exist!

[primeaux123]

How is this used? If someone is able to hep you in some way, or is it to show appreciation in general?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

it is literally "good that you exist" and yes it is for appreciation in general. You can also say it for example if someone does a big favor for you, or just because you love them :)

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is also a commonly said on birthdays along with a myriad of other things.

[AnUnicorn]

It is good that you exist,

It is good that you exist,

Happy Birthday AlexinNotTurkey

It is good that you exist!

[yuYeMfZa]

could it be transleted as: good to have you

[FaroukZeino]

How I can say: "unfortunately" :D

[S0R0USH]

Well there are different ways to say it, but I guess you wanted one with "ki".

The closest one would be ne yazık ki which means "What a shame that_".

[bumfchert]

maalesef?

[MoonSvit]

iyi ki dogdun! :)

[ToghrulNH]

Good that you were born

[Mirage20]

"It's fortunate you exist" should be an acceptable translation.

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Then you should report it and not write it here :)

[RehabNafea]

So what will "Unfortunately" be? Iyi degil ki? or what?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

no : ) It is actually an Arabic word, maalesef, or ne yazık ki as written above

[RehabNafea]

Thanks for replying. okey now i finished the Turkish course here in Duolingo, what to do more? Any recommendations?
I want to take an exam or something :D

[bellapiko]

I would redo to refresh Duolıngo as its amazing what you forget (well I do anyway )!! If you are in Turkey you can get local lessons free from Halk Eğitim Merkezi and get a certificate or two that is recognized by the Turkish Government for long time residency permit etc if you want to live here.

[sayel.abba]

Maalesef is actually two arabic words not one word مع الأسف

[Gustava123]

How should I pronounce the words that have the letter y, like İyi, is it 'eeyee' or 'ee'?

[ARMYZEHRA]

Eeyee

[rippac]

so glad i have you :)

[OrianaDaz]

I usually translate it as "I'm glad to have you "...

[duobetty]

Seems to mean something like "We're so lucky to have you!", or "Thank God for you!"
