 What about "break a leg"

What I really meant to say was we don´t use these expressions so easily and readily as the Turkish.  For example if I am hanging out the washing my neighbour will call ´Kolay gelsin´ to me; people say ´geçmiş olsun´ if you mention you have a slight headache!  I wasn´t denying we have set expressions of our own!  Keep your hair on!   lol lol

1-sufficient = yeterli   -    an adjective

Still  we have sufficient time :  Yine de yeterli zamanımız (vaktimiz)  var

Are there  sufficient evidences : Yeterli delil var mı?

 

2-Confuse =  kafasını karıştırmak   -  a verb

She confused everybody with her words  :  Sözleri ile herkesin  kafasını karıştırdı

 

3-Unbelievable =   inanılmaz     -  an adjective

What  you did was unbelievable :  Yaptığın şey inanılmazdı

Kolay gelsin  = Be easy
