Quoting Trudy: Quoting caliptrix: Quoting Trudy: hey mübarek! - darn! |
I think it is a bit different.
As feeling, there might be some anger but not always as much as to "darn". |
It's in my Dutch-Turkish dictionary this way... sorry if I got it wrong. Can you tell me what the meaning is then? |
As I said, there is a bit anger of a misunderstanding because of a simple stupid thing. You know, for example, sometimes you want to open a can but you can't, even though you try again and again. Then you get angry/annoyed. This is something like that.
Mübarek means blessed. If you believe in Allah, you kow that everything comes from Him. So, if you cannot open that can, there must be a mystery/a hidden wisdom, because it happens to you by the will of Allah/by the permission of Allah. You should not to curse/blaspheme because of a thing (the can) which has not even a brain to make you annoyed. That must be an exam/test about your patience, or something else. So this "mübarek" thing (in this example: the can) is innocent, and you have to remember it. This expression is in order to make you calm.
That was the origin of this addressing/expression. I am sure that not many people knows this. And I can say that it is not much common now. It is also about the looking to religion/belief. If one is not religious, he probably don't use this expression.
