معنی
To wait for someone to provide something.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Turkey, direct eye contact with elders can sometimes be seen as a challenge. However, 'gözünün içine bakmak' in this idiomatic sense is a sign of respect and dependency, showing you acknowledge their power to provide. In villages, hospitality is paramount. A host will 'look into the eyes' of a guest to see if their tea glass is empty before the guest even asks for more. The Sultan's gaze was law. Courtiers would spend their lives 'looking into his eyes' to gauge his mood, which could mean the difference between a promotion and death. Despite modernization, Turkish business culture remains quite hierarchical. Employees often wait for a 'nod' or a specific look from the 'Patron' (boss) before taking action.
