Could someone explain the difference between the following expression? ( Çok zevklisin / Hoşsun ). I know both mean you are so delightful, right? However, why are there two different ways to write this expression? I'm a little confused.

Thanks!

Let me give you an advice: Do not ask these things in translation section. Because this is not a translation. You should write in on "language" forum.

Honestly, I don't translate anything, because there are many meaningless translation requests for me. For that reason, I even don't check the messages here generally. Anyway.

Here is what you want:
Actually this is a strange thing for me, but I will try to say what I understand.
zevk means enjoy here. zevklisin means you know what to choose. This choice may be for your appearance, or about food/drink or songs etc. If I think that you choose good things, I say: zevklisin. (I don't use this in real life)

hoş means good. but some boys use it for girls as "beautiful". hoşsun is you are good or you are beautiful. On the other hand, this is another usage: You joke and I like it very much. I say: "çok hoşsun" by laughing.

Thanks caliptrix. Sorry for posting in the wrong section but I'm fairly new to the forum and still finding my way around. I didn't realize the general topic section was appropriate for posting language related questions. Nevertheless, I apologize and thank you for being so helpful.
