be

This is the 6673rd most frequent Turkish word.


be

The Turkish word "be" is an informal expression used to grab attention, emphasize a point, or express frustration, similar to "hey" or "man" in English.


Here, 'be' is implicit as the verb 'im' indicates the state of being cheerful.

Ben neşeliyim.

I am cheerful.


In this sentence, 'ol' acts as 'be,' used to indicate a state or action to be happy.

Kutlama başladı; eğlen, mutlu ol, ve kutlama sonra bitmesin.

The celebration began; enjoy, be happy, and may the celebration not end.


'Ol' in this instance again represents 'be,' but reflects an imperative mood to advise being true to oneself.

Sen her zaman kendin ol.

You always be yourself.
