teşkkür=sağol =thanks

 

If you go to turkishdictionary.net, there are examples of usage of both of these words, those examples are very helpful and can give you a better idea of how to use them.

 

Meaning of "olur" is closer to "sure"

"Tamam" is more like "OK", "ready/complete", you can use it in different contexts.

 

As far as teşekkür and sağol -- the second one is more informal, while the first one is more formal. Sağol literally means "live long" and it´s a Turkish word, while teşekkür is a word that originates from arabic.
