Signification
Positive information received.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Müjde' is a stronger version of 'İyi haber'. It often implies the messenger should be rewarded. The 'Ulak' (messenger) would travel days to bring 'iyi haber' to the Sultan, often receiving a 'hilat' (robe of honor) as a reward. On Turkish WhatsApp groups, 'İyi haber' is often accompanied by the 'nazar boncuğu' (evil eye bead) emoji to protect the good news from bad luck. People often say 'İnşallah iyi haberler alırız' (God willing we receive good news) to show humility regarding the future.
Plural for Enthusiasm
Use 'İyi haberler!' (plural) when you want to sound more excited or if you have a list of good things to say.
The 'Müjde' Trap
Don't say 'Müjde' unless the news is truly life-changing (like a birth or a wedding), otherwise it sounds too dramatic.
