معنی
To quickly scan or check something.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Baku, it is common to 'göz yetirmək' at people's clothes to keep up with fashion trends, but staring is considered 'ayıb' (shameful). The Turkish equivalent 'Göz atmak' is almost identical, but 'Göz yetirmək' sounds more formal to a Turkish ear. In Tabriz, this phrase is often used in the bazaar when negotiating or inspecting quality of carpets. Similar eye-based idioms exist in Uzbek and Kazakh, showing a shared Turkic heritage of visual metaphors.
The 'Bir' Trick
Always add 'bir' (one) before 'göz' to sound 10x more like a native speaker. 'Bir göz yetir' sounds much softer than 'Göz yetir'.
Don't use for people
While you can 'göz yetirmək' at a crowd, doing it to a single person's face can feel like you are inspecting them like an object. Use 'baxmaq' for people.
