Packing for LA, Marash Girl feels a sense of mounting excitement as she completes task after task, and with two words, intones a phrase that her ancestors in Marash must have sung for centuries: Oda bitdi! A joyous sense of accomplishment accompanies those two words: that (too) is done! Can translate the words but not the feeling of happiness and accomplishment that the words convey.
Oda bitdi -- so you can remember these words from your grandparents!
