Bedeutung
Outside.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In big cities like Istanbul, 'açık hava' venues are essential escapes from the concrete jungle. The Harbiye Açık Hava Tiyatrosu is the most prestigious stage in the country. There is a strong belief that 'cereyan' (a draft) is bad, but 'açık hava' (fresh air) is medicinal. People are encouraged to 'take the air' to clear their heads. Open-air cinemas (Açık hava sineması) represent a golden age of Turkish social life, often depicted in 'Yeşilçam' movies. Tea is almost always enjoyed more in the 'açık hava'. Tea gardens (çay bahçesi) are the quintessential open-air social hubs.
The 'Fresh Air' Rule
If you can see the sky and feel the wind, you are in 'açık hava'.
Word Order Matters
Never say 'Hava açık' when you mean 'Outdoors'. You'll be telling people about the weather instead!

The Cure-All
