Bedeutung
Speaking with high volume.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Turkish 'Kıraathane' (traditional coffee houses), men often speak 'yüksek sesle' while playing backgammon. It is a sign of engagement and vitality. Students are encouraged to read 'yüksek sesle' from a young age to build confidence. Silent reading is introduced much later in the curriculum. The 'Ezan' (call to prayer) is delivered 'yüksek sesle' via loudspeakers to ensure the whole community hears it. This is a defining soundscape of Turkish cities. In Metrobüs or Dolmuş, it is considered very rude to talk 'yüksek sesle' on a mobile phone. You will often see signs or get 'the look' from other passengers.
