معنی
Informing someone through a third party.
زمینه فرهنگی
In rural Anatolia, 'haber salmak' is the primary way of communication. The 'çığırtkan' (town crier) or simply the wind can be metaphors for how news travels. The Sultan would 'haber salmak' to his viziers or to foreign kingdoms. It carried the weight of an official but indirectly delivered decree. Even on Twitter or WhatsApp groups, Turks use 'haber salın' to mean 'spread the word' or 'retweet/share this'. Many folk songs begin with 'Haber saldım...', usually addressed to a distant lover or a family member in exile.
Use the Dative!
Always remember: [Person]-e/a haber salmak. If you forget the 'e/a', it sounds like you are 'releasing the person' instead of the news.
The 'Messenger' Nuance
Using 'haber salmak' implies you are a person with a network. It sounds more socially connected than just 'sending a text'.
