Bedeutung
Seeking advice or ideas.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Akıl akıldan üstündür' (Mind is superior to mind) encourages people to always seek 'fikir' from others, as no one knows everything. The 'Meşveret' (consultation) councils were formal bodies where the Sultan would 'fikir almak' from experts before major wars or laws. In Turkish offices, 'fikir almak' is often a precursor to a meeting, where a junior might 'take ideas' from a senior informally before a presentation. Turkish users are very active in 'fikir almak' through polls and 'Ask Me Anything' features, reflecting a high level of community-based decision making.
