معنی
The act of consuming coffee.
زمینه فرهنگی
When you visit a Turkish home, you will almost always be offered coffee. It is considered slightly impolite to refuse the first offer unless you have a health reason. Always accept with 'Memnuniyetle' (With pleasure). In the 'Kız İsteme' ceremony, the bride's skill in making coffee (with the right amount of foam) is jokingly evaluated by the groom's family. After drinking Turkish coffee, it is a common social pastime to 'read' the grounds. This is called 'kahve falı bakmak'. It's more about storytelling and bonding than actual prophecy. Turkish coffee is always served with a small glass of water. Traditionally, if the guest drinks the water first, they are hungry (and the host should prepare food). If they drink the coffee first, they are full.
The 'Bir' Rule
Adding 'bir' (a/one) before 'kahve' makes the invitation sound much more natural and casual: 'Bir kahve içelim mi?'
Don't say 'Kahveye sahibim'
To say 'I have a coffee' (meaning you are currently drinking one), use 'Kahve içiyorum' or 'Kahvem var'.

Fortune Etiquette
Never read your own coffee fortune; it's considered bad luck. Always ask a friend to do it for you after you finish 'kahve içmek'.
