المعنى
To care for someone or something with extreme attention.
خلفية ثقافية
Turkish parents are known for being 'over-protective' by Western standards. 'Üzerine titremek' is seen as a positive trait of a 'good parent' rather than 'helicopter parenting'. The idiom is linked to the fear of 'nazar'. If you value something, you 'tremble over it' to shield it from the envious eyes of others. In Ottoman poetry, the lover often 'trembles over' the beloved, comparing them to a fragile rose or a candle flame. In startups or family-owned businesses, owners often 'üzerine titremek' their brand, treating it like a family member rather than just a business.
Use with 'Toz Kondurmamak'
Combine it with 'toz kondurmamak' (not letting a speck of dust land on it) to sound like a native speaker describing something they cherish.
Don't Overuse
If you use it for everything, it loses its emotional weight. Save it for things that truly matter.

The 'Nazar' Connection
When someone says they are 'titreying' over something, it's often a cue for you to say 'Maşallah' to avoid the evil eye.
