Basically, it is used for almost any positive new things in your life, other people may say this phrase to you to wish you goodness and good luck.
* For things you just bought. [ Not small things like patatos or domatos of course]
Ev almışsın hayırlı olsun. ---> I heard you bought a house, May it be good to you. [May that bring you goodness and health to you]
* It can be said to people who just got a new job.
Yeni işiniz hayırlı olsun ----> May your new job be good to you. [ Good luck with your new job, congratulations ]
* To someone who has just engaged, married or entered in a new relationship.
Nişanlanmışsın hayırlı olsun. ---> I heard, you got engaged. Congrulations, may God bless your engagement.
* Say,your friend has just had hair transplanted , you can say to him ;
Saç ektirmişsin hayırlı olsun. ---> You had had hair transplanted. May it bring you goodness. [ But ´n this specifc case be careful, try not to say it in public in this case, he may not want to hear this in public]
* Note that, if your friend has just recovered from his/her ilness, dont use this phrase, instead, we say " Geçmiş olsun ´´
* Say your friend opened a new business, you can use this phrase :
Restoranın hayırlı olsun kardeş ---> May your new restaurant bring goodness to you. [may your business go good ]
* An unusal example for this phrase ---> if your friend has just quit smoking and you heard that, you may want to wish good luck to him/her.
Sigarayı bırakmışsın, hayırlı olsun. ---> I heard you quit smoking, good luck ! [May it bring good to you]
It will definetely bring good to the person if it lasts. I was really told this when tried to quit smoking , but it didnt work on me. I started again a week later after I was told this wish.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Note that, for small things especially for food and drink, dont use this phrase ;
You woudnt say " Beş tane ekmek almışsın hayırlı olsun " ---> I heard you bought 5 bread may it be good to you.
But for clothes, you can use it,
Pantalonun hayırlı olsun. ---> May your new trouser be good to you.
