I am curious about this word: comeshandy

I saw it in some forums but I couldn't find it in the dictionaries. It's probably used in some special cases. If someone tells even its English meaning, I'll be happy.

BTW yeni yılınızı kutlarım.

Quoting MarioninTurkey:

Turkish is "faydalı olmak"



but is it a verb? it is written together, seems like an adjective... how come?

"Online surveys conducted in the last couple years show that 95%of internet businessowners face one of the following: either they have no clue how to generate trafficand sales, or the time and money spending on their site, outweight the trafficthey're getting and the profit they're making or should be making. What most of internet business owners fail to realize is that making money online is thecombination of having the right product(s) and the knowledge to sell it or them.That's where http://www.kliksmart.com founder olivier Glaudy's new software comeshandy with its unique all-in-one feature ( both product and knowledge)."

I found it from the google.Here it is adj.
You're right and means useful

It is a verb: to come in handy
faydalı olmak

The adjective is handy
faydalı

e.g.

verb:
If you have a Turkish boyfriend, speaking Turkish comes in handy.

adjective:
If you can't understand his sms, ask your handy translator to help.
