Translated by kfeto
Target language: English

May it be legitimate to you as a mother's unsoiled milk is to her child.
Remarks about the translation
added 'to her child' to clarify this turkish saying even further
it is used more informally than it sounds in english

Hi kfeto

I bet we can find an equivalent adage in English, I'll think about it overnight and see if I can come up with one to suggest to you. If I can't find one, we will use your very good translation instead

I think it is colloquial.saying "You´re welcome to it" is enough.

Ruth?ne demek istediğini anlamadım.
Yani demek istediÄŸim
legitimate=helal
be legitimate=helal olsun?
.ben bir hizmet yada özveri yapıldığında baktımm ki isteyerk ve güzel yapmış onu takdir etmek icin,helal olsun, bunu betimlemek içinde helallerin en yücesi olarak nitelenmiş ana sütünü kullanırım.
"anası turp babası şalgam"=his mother is radish,father is turnip?
of course,you know best,your translation is most likely true.just learning my curiosity.maybe English say so.
thanks
