معنی
To welcome or accept someone with love.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'bağır' is central to Turkish folk music (Türkü). Many songs talk about 'bağrı yanık' (one whose bosom is burnt - meaning someone who has suffered much), making the act of 'bağrına basmak' the ultimate cure for such suffering. In small Anatolian villages, a stranger is often treated better than a local. This 'over-hospitality' is the physical manifestation of 'bağrına basmak'. The Ottoman Empire often 'bağrına bastı' various groups fleeing persecution, such as Sephardic Jews in 1492. This historical role is often cited using this idiom. In big cities like Istanbul, the idiom is now frequently used for successful athletes or artists who are seen as 'one of us' by the public.
