İyi gidiyor

It is going well

Reporting positive progress.

🌍

문화적 배경

When saying 'İyi gidiyor', Turks often touch wood (tahtaya vurmak) or pull their earlobe and make a clicking sound with their tongue to ward off bad luck. In business, 'İyi gidiyor' is a way to maintain 'face'. Even if there are minor problems, one might say 'İyi gidiyor' to show confidence before explaining the details. In villages, you might hear 'Yuvarlanıp gidiyoruz' (We are just rolling along), which is a more humble, salt-of-the-earth version of 'İyi gidiyor'. Young people in Istanbul might use 'Sıkıntı yok' (No problem) as a synonym for 'İyi gidiyor' to sound cooler and more relaxed.

🎯

Add 'Şimdilik'

Saying 'Şimdilik iyi gidiyor' (It's going well for now) makes you sound more like a native speaker—it adds a touch of realistic caution.

⚠️

The 'T' to 'D' Rule

Never write 'git-iyor'. The 't' must change to 'd' because it's between two vowels.

Reporting positive progress.

The 'İşte' nuance

If someone says 'İyi gidiyor işte...', they might be bored or slightly unhappy. The 'işte' acts as a shrug.

💡

Use with 'Her şey'

Adding 'Her şey' (Everything) before the phrase makes it sound more complete and natural.
