معنی
Arriving shortly.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'birazdan' is flexible. In a social context, it might mean 15 minutes, whereas in a business context, it should mean less than 5. Due to traffic, 'birazdan geliyorum' is often sent as a courtesy even if the person knows they might be 20 minutes late. Hosts will often say 'birazdan geliyor' to guests to reassure them that food or other guests are arriving soon, maintaining the flow of the evening. On WhatsApp, sending 'birazdan geliyorum' is often followed by a 'Live Location' share in modern Turkish dating or friend groups.
The 'Traffic' Excuse
In Istanbul, if you say 'birazdan geliyorum', people will assume you are stuck in traffic. It's the universal excuse.
Don't over-promise
If you are still an hour away, don't use this. Use 'Bir saate gelirim' (I'll come in an hour) instead.
