Hi Viola. KISMET means fate, destiny, and it refers to a force that controls what could happen in the future. COINCIDENCE means that two or more occasions or events can happen at the same time by chance, in a surprising and unlikely way. (Ex. What a coincidence! Yesterday I was thinking about you, and then I met you). I hope everything is clear 😊

Kismet and coincidence are both terms that describe unlikely events that seem to be connected, but they have different meanings. Coincidence is a neutral term that simply means that two or more things happen at the same time or in sequence by chance. It does not imply any deeper meaning or connection. For example, if you happen to run into an old friend on the street, that would be a coincidence. Kismet, on the other hand, implies a deeper meaning or connection. It suggests that the events are not just random, but are somehow meant to be. It often has a positive connotation, suggesting that the events are part of a larger plan or destiny. For example, if you meet your future spouse in a way that seems too perfect to be random, you might say that it was kismet. Here are some other key differences between kismet and coincidence: - Coincidence is a common English word, while kismet is a word borrowed from Arabic (قسمت). - Coincidence is a secular term, while kismet often has religious or spiritual connotations. - Coincidence is often used to describe dull events, while kismet is often used to describe significant events. So, in summary, kismet is a type of coincidence, but it has a deeper meaning and is often associated with positive outcomes.

Kismet means destiny or fate—like something was meant to happen.
Coincidence is just a random chance—no deeper meaning behind it. For example: * Meeting your soulmate feels like kismet. * Running into an old friend at the mall is a coincidence. The key is: kismet = destined; coincidence = random.
