Hello all...
i just wondered...In English we have several phrases that use "God"...like "oh my God" and "for Gods' sake", are these phrases horrible to use while in Turkey or around people that do not believe in "my God"? Or/and, are there sayings that are similarly used by the Turkish/muslims...What are they then?

Just curious..

I always use the last phase that Kadir wrote:
İnşallah
There's a word in spanish (Ojala),it means "i hope" or "maybe".
My mom told me that this word came from the word "Oh Allah" so it has a different meaning (like "if God wants to")....
So, i also use this word frequently .

inshaallah is originaly arabic words we use it in all arabic contires,
if we translate it ,it means (if God want)

its in arabic compsoed of 3 words ( in sha allah)
in means if also we can say (eza) insted of (in) so we can say (ezashallah) , both have same meaining.
shaa means want
allah is God

this is not the only word which is same in arabic and turkish there so many words which r same........

As well as Inşallah I have heard:

Allah ne isterse

Allah allah - when we are suprised, wondering and in many other situations
one four years old boy at a street told to his mum
Allah Allah çok yoruldum
