If you don't feel like saying how you are, you can simply say teşekkür ederim (or some variation of thank you) in response to nasılsınız.

some interesting ones:

I am cool! (Harikayım)
Could be better (Daha iyi olabilirdi)
Not so great (O kadar da iyi değil)
Not so hot (Pek iyi sayılmaz)
I've been better (Daha iyiydim)
I've running around (Koşturup duruyoruz)
Keeping busy (Uğraşıp duruyoruz)
No complaints (Bir şikayetim yok Allaha şÃ¼kür)
Same as usual (Her zamanki gibi)
I've seen better days (Daha iyi günlerimiz de oldu)
I'm snowed under (Çok yoğunum)
Not a moment to spare (Boşa harcayacak bir dakikam yok)
No time to breathe (Nefes almaya vaktim yok)
There aren't enough hours in a day (Yirmidört saat yetmiyor)

Quoting aslan2:

My Redhouse dictionary shows all of them when I look at "cousin".



Well I certainly don't have anything like a redhouse dictionary . At least the variations are very straightforward. Each is simply a combination of words I (should) already know... that's one of the things I love about Türkçe

Quoting aslan2:


I don't prefer gender free versions. They are somewhat old-fashioned. Others yes.



And yet the gender free versions are the only ones that show up in my dictionary! Now I know what not to say...

Another thing I don't see in English language/culture is Sıhhatler olsun... said to someone who's had a bath, haircut etc. I tried wishing my cousin well after a haircut 2 days ago ... He's been looking at me strangely ever since lol
