Düşmanından çok dostundan sakın çünkü dostluk biterse sana nasıl zarar verebileceğini en iyi dostun bilir.

Be more...

Translated by Bilge Ertan
Target language: English

Be more careful about your friends than your enemies because when the friendship is over, your friend is the one who knows best how to hurt you.
Remarks about the translation
PS for Turkish experts:
the word "verebileceğini" is meaningless in the Turkish sentence and I translated it as if it was "kandıracağını, oyuna getireceğini"

Hi Bilge,

I agree with you. There is something missing in the original text. In my humble opinion, the sentence should read like this:

Düşmanından çok dostundan sakın çünkü dostluk biterse sana nasıl zarar verebileceğini en iyi dostun bilir

Hi Mesud,

Thank you. I think the way you correct it seems to be the most reasonable one. You can add the word "zarar" to the original text
