Bedeutung
Salary or money earned per month.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Discussing exact salaries is often avoided to prevent 'Nazar' (the evil eye). People prefer vague terms like 'geçiniyoruz' (we are getting by). For the 'Almancı' (German-Turks), 'aylık kazanç' in Euros is a major topic of pride and comparison when they visit Turkey. In big cities like Istanbul, 'aylık kazanç' is often discussed in terms of 'how many minimum wages' it equals. In agricultural areas, 'aylık kazanç' is a foreign concept; people think in terms of 'yıllık hasat' (annual harvest).
The 'C' Rule
Always remember to change 'ç' to 'c' when you say 'my earnings' (kazancım). It's the mark of a fluent speaker.
Be Vague
If a Turkish person asks your 'aylık kazanç' and you don't want to answer, just say 'Bereket versin' (May God give abundance) or 'Kendi yağımızda kavruluyoruz' (We are frying in our own fat/getting by).
