How do you say "friend" in Turkish?
There are two words for friend
in Turkish.
Arkadaş
covers a wide spectrum of meanings from someone with whom you occasionally chat to a pal to a lifelong friend, and, in some instances even someone with whom you are romantically involved. However, don't let that alarm you: You are always safe calling someone your arkadaş.
The word literally means someone who has your back. However, it is rarely used in that sense.
The word for a lifelong, trusted friend is dost.
Sadık dost

How do you say "Take it easy" in Turkish?
A visitor to howtosayinturkish.com wanted to know how to say take it easy
in Turkish.
This is a tricky one. For example, Google Translate is stumped by it.
In the most common case, rahatla
might be appropriate. It literally means relax.
Alternatives are üzme canını
or sıkma canını.
The latter is dangerous if you accidentally use i rather than the Turkish dotless i, i.e. ı because you end up using the equivalent of the F-word. A definite no-no in polite company.
