معنی
Saliva flowing from mouth.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Göz Hakkı' means that if someone's mouth waters while watching you eat, they have a 'right' to a portion of that food. In Ottoman palace culture, food presentation was an art form specifically designed to make the 'mouth water' of foreign dignitaries to show power. Turkish food critics on YouTube often use the phrase 'ağızlara layık' (worthy of mouths) alongside 'ağız suyu akıtmak' to praise a chef. It is considered slightly 'ayıp' (shameful/rude) to show off wealth in a way that makes less fortunate people's 'mouths water' without any intention of helping.
The Vowel Drop
Always remember: Ağız + suffix = Ağz-. Don't say 'Ağızım'.
Don't be too literal
If you use this for a person, make sure the context is clear, or it might sound like you are 'drooling' over them in a creepy way.
