Kultureller Hintergrund
Friendship often involves 'feda' (sacrifice). An 'iyi bir arkadaş' is expected to prioritize a friend's needs in times of crisis. In villages, 'arkadaş' is often synonymous with 'neighbor'. The bonds are communal and lifelong. On social media, 'iyi bir arkadaş' is often used in 'tbt' (throwback Thursday) posts to celebrate long-term connections. Business is often built on personal trust. Being seen as 'iyi bir arkadaş' can actually help in closing deals.
