ete kemiğe bürünmek

to take concrete form

معنی

When an abstract idea or plan becomes a reality.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase is a direct reference to the 'Insan-i Kamil' (The Perfect Human) concept, where the divine essence manifests in human form. It shows how deeply spiritual language has permeated secular Turkish. In Turkey, 'concrete' results are often preferred over abstract promises. Using this phrase in business shows that you are results-oriented and have moved past the 'talking' phase. Authors use this to describe the 'vividness' of their prose. If a character is well-written, they are said to have 'ete kemiğe bürünmek'. Turkish politicians use this to claim credit for infrastructure projects. It bridges the gap between a 'promise' (abstract) and a 'bridge/road' (concrete).

🎯

Use it in Business

When presenting a prototype to a Turkish client, use this phrase. It shows you've moved from 'talk' to 'reality' and earns you respect for your language depth.

⚠️

Watch the Case

Always use the -e ending. 'Et' and 'Kemik' must be in the dative case. Saying 'Et kemik büründü' is a common learner mistake.

Yes, but only to say they are the 'embodiment' of a quality, like 'He is honesty in flesh and bone.'

Not at all. It is considered sophisticated and professional in Turkish business culture.

There isn't a direct idiomatic opposite, but you could say 'kağıt üzerinde kalmak' (to stay on paper).

Usually, yes, or at least that it has reached a stage where it is visible and tangible.
