agree  Nagme Yazgin: "Iste su/bu kadar buyuk". Iki el omuz genisliginde iki yana acilip havada tutulunca "it's about yay big" denilir. (Iste bu/su kadar buyuk diyerek). Ceviride belki "Bundan kastimiz" veya "Spesifik/acik olmak gerekirse.." kullanabilirsiniz.

this; so: often with a gesture indicating size


Explanation:
yay is used informally:

"yay" actually involves demonstrating how long, how wide, without having actual dimensions.
