Reassuring someone.
خلفية ثقافية
Turkish hosts will often use 'Dert etme' to ensure their guests never feel guilty for small accidents. It's part of making a guest feel 'at home'. In local neighborhoods, if you don't have enough money, the shopkeeper will say 'Dert etme' to show trust and community bond. Sometimes people say 'Dert etme' because they believe focusing too much on a small problem might attract more bad luck or 'nazar'. The phrase aligns with the Turkish view that if something happened, it was meant to be, so there is no use in worrying.
