Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two?

Kendine iyi bak and Kendine dikkat et (name).

Do they both mean the same thing?

Thanks Forum! x

They can be used for same thing but there is a little difference as usage:

"Kendine iyi bak" is generally a "bye" sentence, and a wish.

"Kendine dikkat et" is told a person who is sick or who can be sick because of his bad-living conditions. For example; your friend has a little headache because he is working in the sunshine all the day, so you can advice him to be careful about himself: "Kendine dikkat et!".

"dikkat etmek" is a verb which means "to watch out"
"bakmak" means here "look after", like a babysitter looks after a baby, "kendine iyi bak" means "look after yourself well"
