Merhaba,

Hopefully someone out there can exploain the difference in these two phrases.

They both appear to translate as "I am happy" but is there a subtle change in their Turkish meaning.

Teşekkür ederim.

Merhaba,

Yes, although they seem similar, they actually have different meanings.

mutlu: happy

neşeli: cheerful, joyful

I hope it helps.

Faruk,

Many thanks.

So when I arrive in Turkey in September on holiday and am pleased to be there would I use Mutluyum or Neseliyim

Thanks.
