Quoting yilgun-2010

What are the real meanings of these concepts  :
 LUCK, FORTUNE, DESTİNY and  FATE  and their correctly. usages in
English and Turkish sentences?

For examples:

-Hayat at yarışıdır.At koşar, bath kazanır. Life is a horseracing. The horse runs, the fate/destiny wins.
-You are my destiny. Sen benim kaderimsin/kısmetimsin. 
- It depends on how lucky you are. Ne kadar şanslı olduğuna bağlı.
-Kaderim seni sevmek. My destiny is to love you.
-Bahtım seni sevmekle nihayet bulacaktır. My destiny will come to an end by loving you.

 

I would say destiny and fate are synonyms. In Turkish we could say kader or baht.

Fortune can be used also instead of destiny or fate I think but it sounds more positive to me, like kısmet.

And luck is şans.

 

As I have said, they all have very close meanings so I hope I am right

fortune and luck are similar, both of them being positive; you can say my destiny/ fate when something wrong was happened; but in many cases using fortune or luck means a good thing..my point of view

anyway, even you want or not, more or less, we believe in fortune or destiny, depends of our feelings; when we are sad we a re saying.."fate"..but when we are happy, the word is..."luck"
