Significado
Expressing joy or gladness.
Contexto cultural
When a guest arrives, the host often says 'Geldiğinize çok sevindim' to make them feel truly welcome and valued. In Turkey, it is considered polite to comment 'Çok sevindim' on almost any positive life update shared by acquaintances. Because 'Çok sevindim' expresses strong positive emotion, it is often followed by 'Maşallah' to prevent attracting bad luck to the good news. Using 'Çok sevindim' with a colleague builds 'samimiyet' (sincerity/closeness), which is highly valued in Turkish business relationships.
Add 'Senin Adına'
Adding 'Senin adına' (on your behalf) makes you sound much more like a native speaker and shows deeper empathy.
Don't over-pronounce the 'k'
The 'k' in 'çok' should be crisp but light. Don't let it stop the flow of the sentence.
