| In what context was the word used? Also I think you need the correct spelling, as I do not recognise this word at all!! |

| This is a good site to do translations for free. http://translation.babylon.com/Turkish/to-English
However, like denizkisi says I do not think the spelling is right as the site does not know the word. |

| there is no such word as "Afiyorum"
If it was "opuyorum" it means "kiss you"
usually used by mainland Turks at the end of telephone calls as to say "bye" |

Just looked in my turkish dictionary and ''afi'' is shown as - ostentation, show-off, splash, splurge, swagger, strut. How would that fit in with the 'yorum' bit?

| Could it be afiyet olsun? As in enjoy your meal. They say it all the time in restaurants and sometimes in shops when purchasing fresh food from the meat/deli counter. |

the art of it is, learn it but don't use it , only when you are in trouble,lol.
i love just listening what is said around me because people think i don't understand them!
when you get the cypriot who says they don't speak english, swear at them and watch their face!
its great fun. |

| i am only learning turkish but - affetmek - means to pardon, forgive or excuse
so affetiyorum would mean i am pardoning/forgiving ( present tense) ?????? if that makes any sense |
