let me make a start, then I am sure some friends will go on to add more. And maybe, somebody will also translate the below examples.

Vah vah, çok üzüldüm!
Tüh be! Bütün emeklerim boşa gitti.
Of, çok canım sıkılıyor.
Vay be, harika bir resim yapmışsın!
Uf, canım çok yanıyor!
Oh, canıma değsin!
Eh, fena değil.

I think it is a bit different.
As feeling, there might be some anger but not always as much as to "darn".

It's in my Dutch-Turkish dictionary this way... sorry if I got it wrong. Can you tell me what the meaning is then?

As I said, there is a bit anger of a misunderstanding because of a simple stupid thing. You know, for example, sometimes you want to open a can but you can't, even though you try again and again. Then you get angry/annoyed. This is something like that.

Mübarek means blessed. If you believe in Allah, you kow that everything comes from Him. So, if you cannot open that can, there must be a mystery/a hidden wisdom, because it happens to you by the will of Allah/by the permission of Allah. You should not to curse/blaspheme because of a thing (the can) which has not even a brain to make you annoyed. That must be an exam/test about your patience, or something else. So this "mübarek" thing (in this example: the can) is innocent, and you have to remember it. This expression is in order to make you calm.

That was the origin of this addressing/expression. I am sure that not many people knows this. And I can say that it is not much common now. It is also about the looking to religion/belief. If one is not religious, he probably don't use this expression.
