Bedeutung
Hoping for good outcomes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
During the national exam season in June, municipalities hang huge banners across streets saying 'Tüm öğrencilerimize başarılar dileriz.' It's a collective national event. It is common to end a meeting with 'Başarılar' even if you are competitors, as a sign of professional 'centilmenlik' (gentlemanship). On LinkedIn, 'Başarılar dilerim' is the most common comment on 'New Position' posts, often accompanied by the 👏👏 emoji. Parents often say 'Zihin açıklığı dilerim' (I wish you clarity of mind) along with 'Başarılar' before an exam, believing it helps the student remember what they studied.
Use the Plural
Always say 'Başarılar' (plural) instead of 'Başarı' (singular). It sounds much more native and warm.
The 'Zihin Açıklığı' Combo
If you want to impress a Turkish person, wish a student 'Zihin açıklığı ve başarılar dilerim.' It shows deep cultural knowledge.

Not for Sickness
Never use this for someone who is ill. It sounds like you are wishing them 'success' in their illness. Use 'Geçmiş olsun' instead.
Email Sign-offs
In professional emails, 'Başarılar dilerim' is a safe and polite way to end a message to someone you are not close with.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenYes! In informal settings, just saying 'Başarılar!' is very common and perfectly polite.
'Başarılar' is for things you can control with effort (exams, work). 'Bol şans' is for things you can't control (lottery, dice).
Yes, but mostly in very formal writing, speeches, or by older generations. 'Başarı' is the modern standard.
You should say 'Teşekkür ederim' (Thank you) or 'Sağ ol' (Thanks).
No. For a wedding, use 'Mutluluklar dilerim' (I wish you happiness).
Both are correct. 'Dilerim' (Aorist) is more general and standard. 'Diliyorum' (Present Continuous) feels a bit more personal and immediate.
No. Use 'İyi tatiller' (Good holidays) or 'İyi eğlenceler' (Have fun).
Turkish often uses plurals in wishes to make them sound 'more' or 'bigger' (e.g., İyi günler, Tebrikler).
It's grammatically correct but sounds a bit robotic. Stick to 'Başarılar'.
Say 'Hepinize başarılar dilerim' (I wish success to all of you).
