Elinize saglık Health to your hands.[said to person who prepared food] Afiyet olsun Bon appétit Aviet be - dont know the dialect

Can you translate them into Kurdish?

[Diri]

Allow me to correct some Kurdish vs. Turkish vs. English lines, because some of the translations weren't accurate enough:

Kurdî ------------ Türkçe ------------------ English
Roj baş === Iyi günler / Gün aydin = Good morning / Good day
Sipas ===== Teşekkür ===== Thanks
Gellek ====== Çok ======= A lot
Silav ====== Selam / Merhaba = Hello / Hi
Navê te çiye? = Adin/Ismin ne? = What's your name?


When saying "Bye" in Kurdish - you can say it in a dozen ways:

Xuda/Xua hafiz - Xatirê te - Xatir be bo - Oxur bît - Roj/Şev/Êvar baş etc.

All depending on who you are saying it to - and what time of the day/or simply the occasion...

Schoolmaster - I'll translate those lines into Kurdish for you when I am back from work later this evening...

Take care

Selametle...
