Allah rahatlık versin

 

Allah cezanı versin

 

Allah belanı versin

 

Allah Kahretsin

 

My Try:

 

Şükürler olsun is probably the Turkish equivalent of Arabic Alhamdu Lillah meaning ´Thank God´.

 

Hayırlı uğurlu olsun is wishing ´good luck with it´. I think the taste of hayırlı is archaic but I am not sure.

 

Allah rahatlık versin ´May Allah bestow you peace/ease´.

 

Allah cezanı versin and Allah belanı versin are more or less the same ´God damn you´ but it might be that ceza ´punishment´ indicates more to the hereafter, i.e. burning in hell.

 

Allah kahretsin ´May Allah oppress/overwhelm him´. Maybe used as a curse against someone or something we cannot fight  -  so we ask God to come and make it fair for us.

 

My translations are approximate. Probably a Turk can provide you with a more detailed answer taking into account their use in different situations.

 

..................

 

Cursing is an interesting subject. Besides, Turkish people seem to take it seriously, it is not just empty words for many. Any additional information is welcomed.

Allah rahatlık versin ´May Allah bestow you peace/ease´ 

 

This phrase is said to person who is about to going to sleep. 

 

A. Ben uyumaya gidiyorum.  --->  I am going to sleep

B. Tamam, Allah rahatlık versin. ---> Ok. May God give you comfort. [comfort while sleeping, good sleep]

 

in other words, it is meant to say " have a good sleep"

No you will find uğurlu and rahatlık in the dictionary.

 

The rest are grammatically inflected forms of vermek, olmak and bela.
