İyi yolculuklar  (can you explain if this is plural and why? )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Turkish ,  many  greeting, wishing fixed phrases are said in plural form , for example :

" iyi günler " ---> have good days [ have a good day ]

" iyi geceler " ---> have good nights [have a good night ]

"iyi sabahlar" ---> have good mornings [ have a good morning]

" hayırlı işler " --->  have good works [ have a good work]

 " tebrikler " --> congratulations

" iyi yolculuklar" ---> have good journeys [have a good journey]

 

 

 

Turks are geneorus people...Why keep a tight fist and use singular form when handing out wishes?

They are all free, aren´t they?

 Agree.. we are such geneorus people...Not only in handing out wishes , in many things that we do for others..Such as offering pots of tea to strangers until make him/her saying in a begging tone  " NO MORE [ please..]. [meaning I am full of it up to my head ]
