There is no expression called May it have easy, as far as I know.

There is:

Take care
see you soon
What �s happening?
What �s going on?
What �s new?
Thanks a million
From the bottom of my heart
Too funny
What a joke!
Is that for real?
Are you for real?

You can find many more by searching for English idioms, expressions or figures of speech.

"may it have easy" is a direct translation from Turkish. instead, you can use "take it easy" or "help yourself"

It´s none of your business
Been there, done that!

I can´t stand
Tell me about it!
and have a look a look at this worksheet!

I am confused now!

Take it easy = Calm down /or/ something like: goodbye and take care of yourself.

Help yourself = take some

For example: I made these cakes for you, help yourself. Once you are a premium member new worksheets are free, help yourself.

I �m not sure what "May it be easy" would mean either. Maybe before someone is doing a test and you say: I hope it �s easy!

Other than that I can �t think of any other time someone might say that.

I think this might be one of those bad translations that got repeated and repeated.

My students are forever saying: "Have a nice time!" When they mean "Have a nice week/day/etc." Because some silly book somewhere once translated "Mej se pekny" as "Have a nice time"
