زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase is a staple of 'teselli' (consolation) culture. Turks use it to provide hope during illness or financial hardship. Using 'En kısa zamanda' (ASAP) is a way to show respect to a client's time, even if the exact deadline is unknown. When guests are leaving, the host says 'Kısa zamanda yine bekleriz' to show that the visit was enjoyed and should be repeated soon. In the fast-paced life of Istanbul, this phrase is often used to complain about how quickly life or money disappears.
