Ne mutlu Türküm diyene!
Happy is one who says I am Turk!
Note that the part "Türküm diyen" is a relative clause.
Türküm diyen (biri) = (One) who says I am Turk
More examples:
"Ethel ve Julious Rosenbergler-ne mutlu size"
Ethel and Julious Rosenberg- happy are you!
"Hep alnımın teriyle çıkardım ekmek paramı
Ne mutlu bana"
I earned my bread money honestly what happiness
Note the case "-e/a" at the end of the pronouns.
I am proud to be Turk would mean
Türk olduğum için mutluyum.
Türk olmaktan mutluyum.

Quoting gezbelle: yes, it is a saying, atatürk said it.
i got the breakdown of the sentence from:http://www.seyfihoca.com/forum/printer_friendly_posts.asp?TID=949
happy is the man who says = diyene ne mutlu
i am Turk = Türküm
|
Ah haa, its ' en' suffix, that is more clear now
Çok Tşkler gezbelle
Bu arada, hoşgeldin

Ok now im confused
İ thought when we want to use V.to be
Olmak + ad veya Sıfat, we use Y as a buffer
So if i want to say İstanbullı ,then it be İstanbullıyım,means im İstanbulian 'from İstanbul without dan '
So i thought it maybe Türklıyım too ?!

İstanbulluyum
İstanbullu + y + um
the "y" buffer is used because "İstanbullu" ends in a vowel and the personal suffix "um" starts with a vowel.
two vowels cannot be next to each other, so there needs to be a buffer.
"Türk" ends in a consonant and the personal suffix "üm" starts in a vowel, so the "y" buffer isn't needed.
İstanbulluyum, here we are saying "i am from istanbul".
Türküm, here we are saying "i am turkish/turk".

ok, I think I understand now. thanks
so, Ne guzel! would translate as: How beautiful!
the literal translation would be 'What beauty!'
