Quoting huss:

sen kafayi yemissin.
thank you.



Literally is means "You ate you head (apparently)""

But I think it is idiomatic. for example:

"senin kafayi bulmis,sin" mean "you were apparently drunk"

but literally is "your looked at your head".

Hopefully a native speaker can clarify.

"Sen kafayi yemissin " means " You are crazy "

exact translation : "You ate your own head"
idioms meaning comes from here : " You ate your own head and now you have nothing to think "

this idiom is used in such situations : " The person who is beeing crazy is not innocent, his foolishness is caused by his own responsiblity. "

When we say someone, "sen kafayi yemissin" there we are a bit rude and we tell him his any stupid action is nobody's mistake but himself.

because of this , its a bit hard version of "You are crazy"


I hope you'll find these informations useful.


Regards
