A native speaker wrote "Baþýma gelen en iyi þey." to mean "best thing that ever happened to me".

I am asking for help with "basima".   I think literally means "toward my head"  but I notice it shows up in a lot of lyrics and movies and I get the feeling it can mean like "in my my mind" or in my point of view, such as "tek baþima" . Can anyone give some more examples and meanings.   Thanks.

yes it is sometimes used in phrases:

 

baþýna gelmek: to happen ( to someone)

tek baþýna: on his own/on her own; tek baþýma: on my own, etc

baþbaþa: to people together and in private (I know this has been a stupid translation )

baþa çýkmak: get over

baþ döndürmek: to impress

...

 

also a long phrase came to my mind

baþýndan aþaðý kaynar sular dökülmek:

to have a terrible shock
