معنی

Casual response to how are you.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Among young people in Istanbul, 'naber' is often shortened even further in text to 'nbr'. The response 'iyilik' is almost mandatory to keep the conversation 'cool'. In smaller neighborhoods, greetings are longer. You might say 'İyilik' but then you must ask about the family, the work, and the health of the other person. In modern Turkish startups, 'naber' is becoming more acceptable between colleagues, reflecting a shift toward Western-style informal office cultures. Starting a comment on a friend's photo with 'İyilik, senden naber?' is a way to show you are actually interested in them, not just liking the photo.

💡

The 'Naber' Rule

Always smile when saying 'Naber'. It's a high-energy, friendly word!

⚠️

Watch the 'Siz'

If you use 'naber' with someone you call 'Siz', it sounds very confusing. Stick to 'Sizden naber?' if you must.

سوالات متداول

4 سوال

In response to 'Naber?', yes. In response to 'Nasılsın?', 'İyiyim' is more common.

Only if they are roughly your age and the setting is very casual (like a concert or a park). Otherwise, it's risky.

Don't. Use 'Nasılsınız?' or 'Merhaba' instead. 'Naber' is for chat and speech.

You can say 'İdare eder' (It manages/So-so) or 'Pek iyi değilim' (I'm not very well), but 'İyilik' is the polite default.
