Asking for good luck.

문화적 배경

People often say 'Nazar değmesin' (May the evil eye not touch you) alongside wishing luck to protect the person from jealousy. Before the national university exam (YKS), it is a tradition to ask everyone in the family to wish luck and pray. Fans often shout 'Şansınız bol olsun' to their teams as they enter the pitch. In digital communication, the 'fingers crossed' emoji is the universal shorthand for 'Bana şans dile'.

💡
