A1 Expression خنثی

herkes burada

Everyone is here

معنی

Confirming attendance.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Turkish homes, a meal never starts until 'herkes burada'. It is considered rude to begin eating while a guest or family member is still missing or washing their hands. While 'Turkish time' implies a bit of flexibility, in modern corporate Istanbul, 'herkes burada' is expected exactly at the meeting start time. Being the reason 'herkes' is NOT 'burada' can be embarrassing. Turkish students often stand up when a teacher enters the room. The teacher then says 'Günaydın' and checks if 'herkes burada' before allowing them to sit. Turkish youth use 'Herkes burada!' as a caption for group selfies to show a complete squad or friend group, often tagging everyone in the photo.

Grammatically it is singular, so you use singular verb forms. Semantically, it means 'everyone'.

No, 'herkes' is already plural in meaning. Adding '-ler' is incorrect.

'Burada' is the correct spelling; 'burda' is the common pronunciation.

Simply add the question particle: 'Herkes burada mı?'

Yes, if you consider your pets as 'people' or members of the family, it's common.

You say 'Herkes burada değil' or 'Bir kişi eksik'.

It is neutral. It's fine for both a CEO and a child to use.

No, it comes from Persian 'har' and 'kas'.

No, that's a literal translation from 'There is everyone here' and it sounds wrong in Turkish.
