Expressing joy for success.
خلفية ثقافية
In Turkish offices, 'Tebrikler' is often followed by a treat. If you get a promotion and people congratulate you, you are expected to bring 'baklava' or 'simit' for the team. On Turkish social media, it is common to write 'Tebrikler' followed by many emojis like 👏, 🧿, or 🎉. The 'Nazar Boncuğu' (Evil Eye bead) emoji is almost always used alongside it. When congratulating an elder, it is more respectful to use the formal 'Tebrik ederim' and perhaps even kiss their hand and put it to your forehead (though this is becoming less common in cities). Turkish football fans are very passionate. If a rival team wins fairly, a fan might say 'Tebrikler' to show 'centilmenlik' (sportsmanship), though it's often done with a heavy heart.
The 'için' Rule
Always use 'için' if you want to say what you are congratulating them for. 'Success için tebrikler' is the perfect formula.
Birthday Trap
Never say 'Tebrikler' for a birthday unless they just broke a world record on their birthday.

Add an Emoji
In texts, 'Tebrikler' alone can look a bit cold. Add a 👏 or a 🎉 to make it feel warmer.
Formal vs Informal
If you're unsure, 'Tebrikler' is always safe. 'Tebrik ederim' is for when you want to sound extra sincere or professional.
