Quoting kai: I
4) Allah senden razı olsun - God bless you
|
Meaning is approximately that. In Islam belief, the main idea is to make God pleased with you.
razı olmak means "to be pleased" and goes with birin-den suffix.
So it is: Allah senden razı olsun I hope Allah will be pleased with you.
By the way, when someone sneezes, in English we say: "god bless you" but in Turkish it is generally: Çok yaşa "live long!"

A friend of mine always used to reply sen de gör! when someone wished him "çok yaşa"..
You could also just say "thanks"
