معنی
To be away from a certain place.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply linked to the 'Nazar' (Evil Eye) culture. Being 'gözden uzak' is often a way to protect one's happiness from the jealousy of others. In the Ottoman court, being 'gözden uzak' could mean safety from political intrigue, but it could also mean being 'out of favor' with the Sultan. With the rise of social media, 'gözden uzak olmak' has become a luxury. It is now a common term for 'digital detoxing' among the urban youth. In villages, 'gözden ırak' (the older version) is used to describe the sadness of children moving to big cities for work.
Use with 'Tercih Etmek'
It sounds very natural to say 'Gözden uzak olmayı tercih ediyorum' (I prefer to be out of sight).
Ablative Case
Never forget the '-den' suffix. 'Göz uzak' is meaningless in Turkish.
