My attempt as learner:

It was exactly like that.

aynen öyle oldu

It was exactly like that

I agree with Tomac, now that I see a ´y´ was missing.

I also thought originally that it had something to do with dying. 

Henry so this is like dying or something a left out Y makes a diference HMMMM

Thanks Tomac too

The verb for to die is ölmek.

Ölene kadar means ´until I die´

So as a learner, whenever I saw ´öl´ at the start of something, I assumed it may have to do with dying. But in your words this assumption was wrong, as it was only a missing letter!

öle has no meaning in Turkish, but öyle means like that.
