معنی
Instruction for relaxation.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Nefes' is central to Alevi-Bektashi literature, where poems/songs are called 'Nefes'. Breathing is seen as a sacred act. In rural Anatolia, taking a deep breath of 'memleket havası' (hometown air) is a common expression for returning to one's roots. In crowded cities like Istanbul, 'nefes alacak yer yok' (there is no place to take a breath) is a common complaint about over-urbanization. Breathing exercises are used in 'Zikir' to achieve a state of trance or closeness to God. 'Derin nefes' is the start of this spiritual focus.
Use it for yourself
You can use the first person 'Derin bir nefes alayım' (Let me take a deep breath) when you are about to do something difficult.
Don't say 'yap'
Never say 'nefes yap'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating from another language.
