Can one of our turkish friends please translate. Is it an abbreviation like slm?

An example from the Fethiye Facebook Page:

İyi geceler, tatlı rüyalar voyn

Good night, sweet dreams ????

tskr Smile

Hi Tunci, you can see it here http://www.facebook.com/cennetfethiye and it´s also appeared in a post on this website before http://www.turkishclass.com/turkish/forum/forumTitle_43281 I’ve also seen it used on several facebook pages by other Turkish people. In English on Facebook we shorten lots of words like: tmrw (tomorrow) l8r (later) and I’ve seen slm (selam) and tskr (teşekkürler) written by Turkish people. I guess voyn is one of these.

I don´t understand much of the Turkish on this page http://www.eksisozluk.com/show.asp?t=voyn&iphone=1&__target=Topic118111121110 but from what I can gather perhaps voyn is a word used in regional dialects of which that spoken in Fethiye is one?

Yes elenagabriela. Perhaps its meaning in this context is görüşürüz (see you (later))

Voyons from voir, görüşürüz from görmek

Not an abbr. but an exclamatory word appeared -exactly as you guessed-only in a regional dialect.

Thanks Scalpel. So in the context of "İyi geceler, tatlı rüyalar voyn" what exclamation would you say "voyn" best matches?

Also would "karpuz geldi vooyn" be translated as "look the watermelons are here!"?

Maybe "ulan" or "oğlum"? I don´t know..I think it is better to take the phrase as a whole without questioning what´s the exact equivalent of that word .. but "voyn" in the second example sounds to me as "hey" and can be translated as you suggested.

There is no such a Turkish word as voyn. It must be something different.
