معنی
A serving of water.
زمینه فرهنگی
Offering water is the most basic form of 'ikram'. It is often served with a piece of Turkish delight or next to coffee to cleanse the palate. Pouring water behind someone leaving for a trip symbolizes a wish for a smooth, 'water-like' journey. In Islam, providing water to the thirsty is a highly regarded charity. This has led to the historical construction of 'sebil' (public fountains) across Turkey. A glass of water is the first thing offered to someone who has had a nightmare or a sudden fright (korku suyu).
The 'Bi' Shortcut
In casual Turkish, people almost always drop the 'r' in 'bir', saying 'bi bardak su'.
Tap Water Caution
In many Turkish cities, people don't drink tap water. When you ask for 'bir bardak su', they will usually give you filtered or bottled water.
